The price of chicken selects is the only thing pricewise that shocks me in mcdonalds, like I think its about 6euro for 5 of them.

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".

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.

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 noticed the same thing in a Supermacs. When did they stop showing menus.

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.

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.

£4 for 6 chicken nuggets in UK is alot dearer than what we pay here.

I don’t give a **** about McDonald’s prices anymore.

I’ve found my word- not of the day or week, but of the year.

REDONCULOUS.

Well done sir.

To be honest folks, this thread is just making me really hungry...

68 cent for a pizza in tesco
58 for a bag of chips
38 cent for cola

Job done

AllForIt · 28-04-2018 10:22PM

I wouldn't dream of going into MCDonalds and spend anything like 10 quid on a meal. I rather spend that money on a nice juicy high quality steak form the butchers. Takes no 'cooking' as such, just throw it on a grill pan with some mushrooms/onions of whatever. It's terrible that so many ppl don't seem to realise how simple cooking can be.

Do they still do the fillet o' fish?

silverharp · 28-04-2018 11:04PM

8 euros would get you a helluva fillet stake and make your own delux steak sandwich or a 5 layer burger and fixins and make your own.
