The McValue menu also includes app-exclusive offers

Can't not steal customer data! McDonalds is garbage food and still overpriced.

like legit

2 double cheeseburgers for 6$ - up from 2 for 3$ last year

2 small fries for 4$ - up from 2 small fries for 3$ last year.

not to mention the base price of the items have rose in the last year

double cheeseburger: 4.59 was 3.86 MC chicken: 3.79 was 2.98

bacon as an add on has almost doubled in price for add-ons, I don't have the exact old price but it's now almost 2.50$ a burger vs what used to be around 1.50-2$ a burger.

They can sugar coat these deals all they want, but I think I'm just going to cook at home

Its to late. It took them decades to addict people and now a lot of folks have not eaten in in over a year and in todays climate no company can plan for more than a year out.

Tiered pricing still. If you stand on one leg while patting your head and rubbing your stomach, they'll charge you normal price. If you don't use their app and order the right things, they'll charge you double.

Eh, all the deals mentioned are the same in-store. It’s just the added offers that are app exclusives

looking at the pricing(at least for mcdonalds), they did the typical increase the price of everything to compensate for the new deal. Like double cheeseburgers are almost 5$ now that way they can compensate for being able to potentially sell 1 for 1$

Not to mention only 4 items on the menu are valid for it, and none of them are still worth the price. It's hard to justify 2 for 6$ of something that used to be sold at 2 for 3$ just last year.

being said I guess it's better than nothing but, I still don't forsee me going to a McDonald's any time soon

I have noticed that fast food prices are approaching casual sit down restaurant prices. Like a burger at Chili's isn't much more expensive than fast food. It's getting ridiculous.

And I bet they're offsetting the costs by including less rat in the food
