McDonalds - prices off the scale

Viscount Aggro

Anyone noticed this lately?

McDonalds do not display a menu price list.
I waiting in Q, to make my choice, all I can see are a few meal combo's they want to promote. Theres no longer a menu on side wall or in front window.
Is this not illegal?

E8.00 for a meal? What is this bullsh*t?

Irish prices are considerably dearer than those in the UK/Northern Ireland.

We should look on this as a good thing and avoid McD’s but unfortunately the poor and unemployed have to eat somewhere and so McD’s are thriving.

Eight Euro is feckin great value for a meal .

I noticed the same thing in a Supermacs. When did they stop showing menus. Just big screens with one or two meal dealzzz.
I don't want an 18 layer multi meat Super anything. I want a simple burger. Keep your half gallon of coke while you're at it.

Well that ignorant statement makes not a lick f sense.. how in the fcuk could or would the great unwashed afford Mickey D's if it's so expensive? Sure lidl and aldi sell pre packed dinners for less than a fiver.

Not sure about that. I got a meal (and an extra 6 nuggets cos I was starving) in a McD in Strabane around 6 weeks ago. It was almost £10 (about €11) and I remember thinking it was pricey.

Not when it's made of cardboard and there's not all that much in them other than calories. You can go into a Carvery / Kays / Kylemore or somewhere like that and get a massive plate of meat, veg, gravy and a bottle of water for not much more.

Dunno about you, but I don't live in a pub.

If you’re talking about carvery then it most certainly isn’t home cooked. The meat, vegetables and spuds all come on trays ready for heating. Pub knows the price of each meal, and the profit on each portion. A carvery is grand like, but don’t be fooling yourself that it’s particularly good value, healthy, or home cooked.

Because they wouldn't sell so many of them if they called them sad meals.

And with McD's, they tell you the calorie content.

Carveries and whatnot, you are on your own.

I find with McDonald's your hungry again an hour later. Doesnt really fill you up for long.

RasTa

Bunsen cheeseburger and hand cut fries for €10.50 can't be beaten.

Five guys is the biggest rip off I find

lmimmfn

Dominos jacked up their prices recently too, 27.99euro for 2 large pizzas, was only 24.99euro a few months ago.

The boom is back! Quick get on the property ladder.....oh wait!

Don't eat in McDonalds often but the odd time I do I just order from the Eurosaver menu. Two hamburgers and 6 nuggets for €4, can't complain!

spurious

I sometimes get breakfast at McD's. Egg McMuffin meal (no sausage or bacon) and a flat white. 3.50 in some places 4.60 in others. No rhyme nor reason.

They are still selling a 1€ burger. Inflation has deflated the burger.

But mcDonald's is more expensive than so many "unemployed people" options.

Free refills is an alien concept round these parts.

Why do people eat that crap at those prices. The occasional Double Cheeseburger for €2, fair enough, but €8 for one of their meals is redonculous.

You'd get a medium plate in KC Peaches for €7.95, fill it with the best off grub.

I'm banned now mind, apparently piling food two foot high is "taking the piss".

Should have gone to burgersavers...

The soft drinks from those machines don't taste like your regular coke/sprite/7up/Sprite from a bottle or a can. They all either taste too sweet or watered down. It's a scam the mark up on them must huge as the syrup is dirt cheap. Subway do free refills mind you.

scamalert

if op thinks mcdoanlds is expensive think he never visited burger king, two double deckers almost 12e, where in mcd i get 5 plus curly fries, no overpriced meal crap combo.

I would imagine Supermac's changed to match McSh**e's behavior about 6 weeks after McSh**e did.

Back to my original point;

McD's has gone expensive.

Most people will order what they see on the display. The majority of food items are not being displayed.
You have to remember what else they serve - the euro-saver menu is no longer on view.
The way to deal with this? An old fashioned blockade, stop buying stuff. F*ckin' starve them out. They will soon get the message.
I am not paying E8 for crap food. My weekly food budget is E20 in total.

5 Guys? Dont get me started - they deserve to go under. E15 for a fast food meal? Not in my world.

Never been to a five guys outside the States but it's $15 roughly for a burger, large fries and large drink. It's the best fast food franchise imo with Whataburger as runner up. I remember one time they gave us literally a shopping bag of fries as they were closing up for the night.

20 euro food budget for the week, how do you manage that. I lived frugally in college but never that much.
