Current Events > $5 McDonald's deal. We're back baby

(+) Yeah! (+)

In such an inflationary environment, it might seem impossible for McDonald's operators, the majority of whom are franchisees, to eke out a profit on a $5 meal. But Mark Kalinowski, a veteran fast-food-industry analyst, estimated there's a 1% to 5% profit margin on the combo, which translates into anywhere from $.05 to $.25 per meal.

Oh nice, that's actually more for less than what I bought yesterday. Is that already started?

Expect this pricing to last just a single month.

You do realize this is not actually a real new meal right

McDonalds $5 value meal will run for roughly a month, beginning on June 25.

I did not know it's only planned for a month until I just checked.

It's basically the two for five again. It's circulates multiple times a year

Hot N Spicy deal looking real nice

This is still not acceptable. Theyre trying to implement a $5/customer minimum price when what we wanted was the dollar menu back.

Not everyone wants a meal every time they go through. Some people just liked to get a couple of snacks for a cheap price.

That's a pretty good deal actually. Better than $10+ for a medium 10 piece nugget meal

Its not a good deal. Theyre just trying to get their customers off their backs after jacking up their prices unnecessarily. I could get two McDoubles, a McChicken, two Apple pies, and a drink for $6 back in the day.

Sir, this a Wendys.

Must be really small portions if all of that is only 800 calories. Hell, that picture soda looks like it is 200+ calories alone.

burgers are grilled, chicken is deep fried

Time moves on bro. Back back in the day you could also get a burger for 33 cents

2 spicy chicken sandwiches for $2 was a better deal. This amounts to us having to get what the restaurant decides we can have instead of what we want.

Man, some of y'all just want to be mad

I give them no credit because they're just ripping off Wendy's 5 dollar biggie bag meal.

Were being realistic. Youre going to bat for McDonalds, of all corporations.

Just checked the websight, it says it could be up to 20 dollars in some areas

Who the hell's gonna pay $20 for that? I assume some like high-cost-of-living area but even then that's insane.
