McDonald's same-store sales reflect world's love for cheap food

If McDonalds raises their dollar menu prices I will be going Burger King or Taco Bell. My family eats there all the time for lunch and Mcd food is not worth no more than a dollar.

1dollarluver no wonder your family is obese you eat fast food all of the time. My CHRIST HELP US!

Friggin mcdonalds... if that dog food called a double cheeseburger rises in price i'll start a friggin boycott, that dang thing is all i got on a $0 a month diet maaan!

$1.20 for a double cheeseburger,I will still buy 3.
Bk is lousy and no dollar menu

I say maybe this move of raising there dollar menu may come around and bite them. Again greed is here again...

screw mcdonalds
run them out of business

But K, you are forgetting that BK actually tastes good and can fill you up. unlike McDonald's. BurgerKing also doesn't believe in putting dog food in their hamburgers and won't do everything they desperately can to get more fat people addicting to their fat, nasty food. Adding Coffee and bottles of pop and Movies!! What the heck! They are so freckin' desperate it makes me sick.

MCDONALDS FOOD SUCKS ANYWAY!!! I WOULDNT EVEN PAY A DOLLAR FOR IT. THE FOOD TASTES FAKE..

If would like to know why the prices at all Mc Donalds are not consistent. I pay $1.08 for a Sausage Mc Muffin with Egg in my home state. When I come to California I am charged $3.44 at one place and $3.11 at another, in the same area. Why the difference in price? When traveling across the country it makes it hard to budget for food when there is such a difference in prices charged for the same item. In this economy why would a company raise their prices? If prices are raised I will think twice about eating there and find somewhere else cheaper. Mc Donalds and other companies are constantly adding items to their menus, it makes it very confusing and sometimes effects the items they feature. It's like too many cooks in the kitchen spoils the soup.

GUYS WILL GET ME A DOLLA BURGER OFF THE DOLLA MENU IN RETURN FOR SUM BLING! BLING!!

You can eat healthy at fast food retaurants if you want to.

I am a personal trainer and I have always considered fast food a great crutch if you are smart about it. A great source to look up all sorts of info on foods is Nutrition Data and it is free http://www.nutritiondata.com My two favorite foods to recommend for weight loss and maintaining muscle
are broccoli and flax. There is a great flax called fitflax which is roasted, tastes delicious and I have my clients just sprinkle it on salad great right out of the bag. It is fitflax http://www.fitflax.com
This has helped speed up weight loss with my female clients.

My favorite fast food item to recommend is the grilled chicken Caeser at McDonald's ...so fresh. Use half the packet of dressing, throw out the crotons and they have the option of double chicken.

The dollar menu is convenient. At $1.19 its not--especially if a slice of cheese is eliminated from my DoubleCheeseburger. I'll make a sandwich at home, thank you.

When we have to stop for something fast and cheap we've started going to Wendys. Much better food, more choices and I don't feel like my stomach was immersed in fat.

I eat Eukanuba, regular "dogfood" (like a Big Mac) can hurt a dawg's physiology more than regular "table scraps", or even a "deadly" chickenbone. You dawgs better "wise up", and leave "MICKEY D's alone, otherwise your "VET BILL" will go to the dogs! Tidbits and "dawgy snacks" from (for example) "Trader Joes", is a lot healthier for a dog bitch.

OK,
I don't know if any of you have noticed, but all fast food joints increase prices when minimum wage goes up. AND, if it increases again, you will all feel the pinch in prices. If you have to pay the labor more, you gotta charge more for the product to offset the wage expenses. NO business will decrease their profits, just to pay more in labor. If you get an increase in minimum wage, you will actually have less buying power than you do now. It's called inflation.
In 1968 minimum wage was $1.60 // hour, but you could buy a top of the line Corvette for $4500.00, and a McDonalds Hamburger was 15 cents. SO, today the Fed minimum wage is what $6.25?? That makes an increase of about 400% increase, but the price of a Corvette has increased about 1300%, AND a McDonalds hamburger has increase about 730%. MORE $$ in your pocket, but you can't buy as much...........

Kwilts.......
That is caused by the difference in the minimum wage difference between CA and the rest of (most of) the nation. Fed Min wage is $6.25 and it's $8.25 in CA ...... refer back to my last post about minimum wage causing inflation.

Oh for the good old days. How many of you remember the ad with the two elderly ladies at the counter and one says to the other, "Look..Hamburger, french fries and a coke and change back from a dollar"???

We stopped going to McDonalds long ago and the recent decision to bow to the religious right (wrong) and no longer sponsor the Gay Chamber of Commerce as well as the lousy food and now this? That just makes my family of six seek other options for our burger fix. There are plenty of great burger joints all around and although they are not fast food and might cost a bit more... you get what you pay for. I'd rather chow on a FRESH burger and had cut fries any day!

costs have gone up, therefore prices have to go up; economics 101. If you can't afford $1.19 for a double cheeseburger, stay at home. That is not too much to pay for a sandwich.

WENDY'S is much better! And super fast! That's our choice when in-a-hurry.
