Dollar menu isn’t completely gone but the options aren’t pretty 😅 Took a road trip with my family and a quick stop at McDonald’s was over $30 for just me, my wife, and our 2 small kids. Blew my mind.

The replies here are crazy. Mom, Pop, and two kids getting hit by McDonald's for $30. You used to be able to get McChickens and Double Cheeseburgers off the dollar menu. I remember it being a lifeline for broke teens. We need a burgers-per-labor-hour inflation metric.

Yep. Combos are all right around $10 in my area.
It’s weird though. I can eat at several sit-down restaurants cheaper than I can get fast food.
There is a Big Mac Inflation Index
You could probably adjust it for changes in median wages

Isn't like the value menu now? They had to rename because everything is $2 or more.
It’s to expensive to eat anymore.
You’re gonna shit . . .

Don’t look at me. I’ve been threatening hermitage in an El Salvadoran cave for years now.
Good caves. Nice climate.
Do one of this twice a day, we'll make a nostrbook out if it 📖 😉
Here you can spend around $17 (47,000 sats) 
Last time I went to McDonald I got a medium fries and a smoothie for 2 dollars. That’s the most I’m willing to pay for that kind of food.
I shocked someone the other day by asserting that $30 was not bad to go roller skating for 4 people for 2 hours. They didn't like my response "What else can you buy for $30? Not much!"
If you're willing to use the app, there's usually a 20% off coupon in there. Basket of fries is another good option for families, where it is available. But you're right, not a lot of value in the value menu these days.
My Nostr timeline is pestering me more about McDonald’s than my kids did when we were on vacation and they were younger. Luckily, there’s no McDonald’s restaurant where I live.
McDonald’s has lousy food. You can make burgers 10 times better at home.
I haven't been back to McDonald's and I miss hamburgers. Still shopping at dollar stores surrounded by cops
