Getting 4 $1 items for $5 isn't a deal. Mcdoubles used to be $1 and a big mac was like 2.75. Prices are still insane and I hope people don't buy into this.
If you buy these items individually with the app where I live, the total comes out to $10.16 before tax so it technically is a deal compared to what you’d normally pay. You’re harkening back to the before-time, the long-long ago.
Listen squalids...the move is use the $3 medium french fry deal, buy a "Buy 1, get 1 for $1 (I do mcdouble and 4pc nugget) then provide your own drink. Now you have more food for less cost.
Uh, no? You get a Burger And/Or Nuggets & Fries And/Or Apple Slices. & a Toy in a Happy Meal.... This is 2 different sandwiches & Nuggets, & Fries. You essentially, don't know what "essentially" means.
WORD!!! Those fish sandwiches were delicious!!! Still pissed that you can no longer get 2 apple pies for a dollar and the mcdouble at lile 1-1.50...the food has become overpriced and barely fill you up.......
I just think it sucks that we live in a time where a $5 *fast food* meal deal is enough to make headlines. Just a few years ago, deals like this were a typical part of the business.

you can get a Large drink with the $5/$6 deal btw(Here in SoCal, the McDouble option is $6 but the McChicken options are $5). If you use the app or the self service machine in McDonalds, once you select the meal deal you can select your drink.

Pair this with the app deals (I paired it with a free Medium fries coupon I had on the app I believe for the Angels winning a game, states may vary) and its a pretty solid deal. I personally dont think its a particularly FILLING meal, but the app can sometimes offset it with the free options it can open up at times.
This is called “anchoring” by the way. Each of these items used to be a dollar on the dollar menu. Anchoring is raising the price to something until people are no longer willing to buy, and then coming down just a bit to seem somewhat more reasonable, but the perception of reasonable is to the new high price, and you forget that this a 66% increase because the $5 meal you got previously cost $3.

If anyone is curious on the app you change the drink to a large just go to more drinks and you’ll get the option to get a large drink. The app is always your best bet to getting the most out of McDonald’s
A good friend of my wife's owns several McDonald's in the Waukesha Wisconsin area. I asked him about this $5 deal. He said enjoy it while it lasts, says it probably won't be around very long.
@@brandondetroitfanmichaels4325 We stopped buying McDonald's a while ago. Better off going to Culver's, paying a few extra bucks and getting a way better meal.
I got the $5 meal at my local McD's. I was surprised they honored the price. Same boring menu of course, but the McDouble was hot, the nuggets crispy, the fries fresh, and the Coke ice cold.
Why are there people like you who sit around waiting for someone to mention the McDouble just so you can POUNCE and tell about the "two slices of cheese" thing?
An absolute slap in the face in terms of value. I only go to fast food places if the apps have really good deals which is almost never the case anymore. It should been an 8 piece, large fry, a m double or McChicken with a drink for $5
Mine has buy one get one for a dollar. I get 2 mcchickens and 2 mcdoubles and a large sprite for under 10. That used to be only 5 bucks cause everything used to be $1 but it is what it is.
I heard some McDonalds were charging you for the bag the food comes in. Some will charge you for the condiments if you want them. And some of them will charge you a higher price for the deal if you get a McDouble instead of a McChicken. Because the McDouble costs $1 more.
mcdonalds you could also just pull a massive move and just lower your prices to what the food is actually worth and people would be willing to go there more because nothing has changed the co workers, the food, the quality. Except the price, in fact it probably has gotten worse in quality if anything since the 90s.
Do you not know that inflation is an increase in the money supply and causes prices to go up? The federal reserve keeps printing billions of dollars and we give it away to nonsense and that’s why your fast food is expensive. Not because of a greedy CEO.
Man I love your little one-off comments and quips here and there that always get me. When you're holding the plate up to the camera for the thumbnail and then smile after, with a "just in case" had me laughing.
I don’t think it has anything to do with consumers complaining on the prices because I still see lines at fast food drive-thru windows. I think companies just planned to gouge for a set amount of time.
Saddest part is the consumers in those lines will still complain, but will still eat the increased pricing due to the fact they either can't or won't cook when finished with their long hours worth jobs due to exhaustion/ not having enough time to rest and cook before going back to work. Economy is at it's worst right now with inflation plus the corporations wanting to take advantage of the working majority.
The real Dollar Menu? Or the Value Menu? Or the 1,2,3 Menu, or 1 dollar or more menu? Or the Extra Value Meal Menu? Or the Everyday Value Menu? Or the 4 for 4? Or the 2 for 5? Or the 5$ deal meal? You get my point. Mcdonalds has been doing this for years. They'll take away cheap prices, people will complain and then they'll bring out some "NEW $5 DOLLAR MEAL"
Here a 6 piece nugget and a mcdouble are 2 for 3.99. Add a $1.29 drink and the 1.29 any size fry deal and for an extra ~$1.60 you get a large drink a large fry and 2 extra nuggets.
With the APP i get dollar. Large fries or free fries, and Mc doubkes are buy orlne get one for a dollar. So for 6 bucks i get two burgers, fries and a drink.
Yeah. That small drink is a total rip off. ANY soft drink is $1.29. They should allow you to pick any size drink. At other places I pay the 20 cents to make the drink a large.
I think the $5 meal price is standard across the board, but I think it won't be available everywhere. Wendy's has had this style meal available for years. 4 for $4 meals and Biggie bag meals.
When I see you smiling on the youtube thumbnail photo, I know it's gonna be a good review!!! Great review and a good meal deal, glad it was enjoyable 😊
I'd say just the straight up deals, Mcdonalds is better. But I will give Wendy's credit for allowing the choice of frosty(which I'm not a fan of) I use their app and I change the fries to large and the drink to medium, and it comes to $5.85. I think that is the best deal.
That's if you _have_ a Wendy's where you live... nearest one to us is not within practical travel distance. What our town seems to specialize in is Mexican food rather than burgers. At least three (perhaps more) different choices, not counting a Taco Bell, which we also have. The burger places we have are McD's, Burger King, Chili's, Applebee's, and two local places, one of which I have not been able to try yet because I can't drive and no delivery place covers it, as far as I know.
@bananasauceyum These are dollar menu items of extremely low quality and a small pop that costs a few cents to produce. There is no planet in the solar system where this is a good deal. Pull your head out of the ground. Stop buying this garbage.
Arby's needs to bring back the 5 for $5 and include the small jalapeno bites and small mozzarella sticks in that price, if not a bit more. The food is great but expensive.
My friend and I to Del Taco a few days ago here in the west coast and their newer items were all around $7 to $9. We ordered off the $2 menu which were 2 small tacos, 2 tostadas, a bean n' cheese burrito. Then we did the 2 for $7 and got a spicy chicken burrito and a classic grilled chicken burrito. Our total was about $16 and some change. If we'd order their featured item it would have cost over $20.
It is a scam! No where actually sells it for 5, almost every place sells it for at least 5.50 if not 7, it's a scam to get you to drive to the restaurant and spend money anyway.
This is just a psychological trick, this same meal was $3 two years ago. That is a huge and unconscionable price increase, stop buying food from places ripping you off!
Do a video about McDs getting rid of drink stations. That means you get even less value if you eat there. You can go to the counter for a refill, but you have to wait and I think you can really only do that once.
be careful on the McDs quality being the same. I on occasion get a steak egg and cheese breakfast bagel from them. I got two a few weeks ago and the price was lower to my shock. Last week I repeated and on both bagels the first few bites were all egg cheese and bagel. They had very obviously shrunk the steak "patty" size where it barely covered 2/3 of the bagel. The taste was also marginal for the steak plus one of them had a significant piece of gristle. Oh well I can always make my own which I have been doing more and more.
Holy cow I got that this morning. First time having it in years. Your review was spot on. That steak patty was a joke. After the grissle bite I tapped out and tossed it in the trash
$5 is honestly a steal with all that. I love the McDonald’s app so i can build points and get free food sometimes. The deals aren’t bad as well. A little tip: get two McDoubles, it’s a buy one get one for $1, then use your points for something free or use a coupon code of your liking, and boom you get a full meal around under $7
I'd never heard of John before I saw MrSnowflake's documentary. It's wonderful to see such a lovely, genuine, humble boy grow into an even lovelier man. Truly amazing, we need more positivity in the world ❤❤❤
As a kid that remembered getting chicken nuggets in the 90s and then getting them now they’re literally half the size. Like chicken coins now when they used to be thick
Someone said that certain franchises have the five dollar sign up but they’re actually charging more. If that happens to me, I’m going to say “Stick it back under the warmer honey, I’m going to Taco Bell.”
I don't know where you're at but here the cheapest Taco Bell meal is the vegetarian build your own combo and its a diollar more than the Mcdonalds meal.
This is essentially their version of Wendy's Biggie Bags, which used to be $5 and $6. Now, the Biggie Bags are $8 and $9. The only difference between the two is the fries; Wendy's has Medium Fries, while McDonald's has Small Fries.
I used to get 3 McDoubles for $3 and go to the supermarket for my beverage (in a 24 oz can😉) back in 2014. Give me 3 McDoubles for $5, and I'll come back to McD's.
Yes, "the price is not justifiable". Today I cooked beef stew. I bought almost all the main ingredients (beef, potatoes, onion, tomatoes) on sale. The few items not on sale (carrots, garlic, salt and other seasonings, butter, flour, vinegar) were a negligible cost; perhaps $4. For approximately $25 USD I cooked enough delicious beef stew for at least eight generous servings; i.e., ~$3 per serving. Yes, by the time I finish eating the stew I will be looking forward to eating something else but the value to price ratio is immensely larger than any anything from a "fast food" restaurant like McDonalds.
If McDonald's is looking for a great idea, I would suggest announcing a limited time "throw-back" where they ditch the all veggie deep fry oil for the beef lard enhanced oil they used to use. The fries back then were simply awesome! I bet people would come in droves just to get a taste of what used to be!
Many people slam McDonald’s food. However, there are a lot of people struggling out there and you have to credit them for trying to fill a void. There was a time when I could only afford 50 cent cheeseburgers and a cup of water from McDonald’s.
Hardee’s now has a $5.99 meal to compete as well. You get more food than the $5 meals. You get 2 double cheeseburgers, small fries and 20 oz drink. All the $5 meals offer a small order of chicken nuggets to go with the burger or sandwich. Hardee’s double cheeseburger is bigger than any of the primary sandwiches offered in the other meals too.
I just got 1 of each the other day! It was under $11 and it fed me and my 2 kids. Dont judge me 😂 I felt like I was back in 2019 and it was a good feeling.
That is 100% worth it! $5 can barely get you a drink a Starbucks now days, so $5 for 3 different food items and a drink is good. This is basically what Wendy's had in their 4 for $4. I used to get that 4 for $4, then it was the $5 biggie bag, and then it went up to $8 and now they don't even offer it anymore. This new $5 meal deal will be the only fast food item I buy from now on until other establishments can compete
Realistically for $5 they could have done 2 of these sandwiches and gave option of 6 nuggets or a Large fry and not lose any money, probably get a lot of sales too. Given several McDonald’s around me that giving away medium fries with any purchase and $3.50 for 2 doubles I think it’s completely doable for $5. 6 nuggets are in same reward points bracket as much cheaper items which tells me the real cost matches those cheaper items…. Probably get away with 10 nuggets. Honestly the drink can be optional if the amount of food is seemingly good. Doesn’t need to be a classic meal… we’re all just looking for a good deal and that’s probably a better way of marking the times is a bag of food instead of a classic meal.
@@Zowiettri agree in that they need someone or some groups that have a realistic view to design a value menu…. And also talk to them about their pricing. How does it stands? McDonald’s can have my ideas for free because I don’t care. I’d rather a good deal if they’re even paying attention.. Here’s another thing at $3.50 for a pair of McDoubles, or McChickens too; that’s $1.75 a sandwich to you from the restaurant. They can totally bring back a dollar menu if they wanted too… I mean, we all know how cheap the drinks really are we all know how ridiculously overpriced french fries are. I think that’s pretty good proof of it because they’re internal costs are gonna be a lot lower than that and I’m sure adjustment’s internally can be made to further accommodate, again if they really wanted to.
@@UrHumanShield because they’re costs are tremendously high the average franchise only makes $150000 a year. Corporate makes all the money. Franchise have to pay a tremendous amount of fees to corporate. They have to lease the property from corporate. They have to give 4% of their profit to corporate and there’s all the other cost involved in operating. Just like Wendy’s doesn’t make anything on the four and five dollar meals. There’s more than just the Food cost them more now. There is the straw and the drink cup. The paper that burger is wrapped in, fry box and labor cost. It all ads up.
They do not ever include what WE want in these meals - only what THEY want to give us. Just give me a big Mac at a discounted price for a change is what I want. Not chicken nuggets or a chicken sandwich.😢
Because they are buying commodities and then taking advantage of downmarket pricing on them to make these deals, that's why only certain areas are actually charging 5, those areas have the commodities at a low enough level to support it, places like hawaii are just nope. Market forces dictate McDonalds priicing and everyone assumes it's just lol they charge 5 dollars, no there is a ton of research into these prices.
The McDouble was at fair amount larger than what you get with this now. The burger you get with this deal is tiny. If McDonald’s fries were edible this would still be a decent deal for the franchise.
I have figured out a way to get more food from McDonald’s for roughly the same price as the $5 Meal Deals, depending on taxes. I’ve tested it out multiple times in the app and it’s worked for me. Your mileage may vary. I’ve ordered from the $1 $2 $3 menu and received two McDoubles: one for full price and a second for $1. Then, in the “Deals” section, there was an offer for free fries (any size) with a $2 minimum order. Finally, my local McDonald’s has a “happy hour” deal for drinks ordered between 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM. The drinks are $1 for any size. Grand total in my area: $5.35, taxes included.
But is the "deal" only if you order on the app? Seems like McDonald's runs a lot of deals that are "available on app only". Not everyone wants to clutter up their devices with a hundred different apps or waste time with clicking on this, that and the other when you can simply tell the employee at the counter what you want. Also app ordering is taking away jobs. If a company is going to create a deal, make the deal available for everyone no matter their preferred method of ordering.

I got the $5 meal at my local McD's. I was surprised they honored the price. Same boring menu of course, but the McDouble was hot, the nuggets crispy, the fries fresh, and the Coke ice cold.
So you get 4 items, all of which are worth no more than $1, and the price is $5... I'll be continuing to skip on Mcdon's.

Well, fast food chains are copying each other all the time. Burger King has even built their career as a McDonald's copycat.
The Double Cheeseburger has two slices of cheese, whereas the McDouble only has one slice. That’s the difference between the two.
Most people don't know this witch might be good thing.
and it taste wAY better with that 2 slice lol
This was so hard for people to understand when I worked there

An absolute slap in the face in terms of value. I only go to fast food places if the apps have really good deals which is almost never the case anymore. It should been an 8 piece, large fry, a m double or McChicken with a drink for $5
No, that's too much fast food. They're thinking of your health.
That would be $10
Mine has buy one get one for a dollar. I get 2 mcchickens and 2 mcdoubles and a large sprite for under 10. That used to be only 5 bucks cause everything used to be $1 but it is what it is.
That large fry alone would be $5 😂
I heard stories that many McDonald's were downright charging like $13 for these meals and going against the franchise orders.
The McDonald's near me charges 7 dollars for it but it's still called 5 dollar meal deal on the menu

I heard some McDonalds were charging you for the bag the food comes in. Some will charge you for the condiments if you want them. And some of them will charge you a higher price for the deal if you get a McDouble instead of a McChicken. Because the McDouble costs $1 more.
mcdonalds you could also just pull a massive move and just lower your prices to what the food is actually worth and people would be willing to go there more because nothing has changed the co workers, the food, the quality. Except the price, in fact it probably has gotten worse in quality if anything since the 90s.
Nothing has changed, except the workers are making more, to be fair.

You "have" to pay for McDonald's? Weird. I have never been forced to buy any fast food.
Do you not know that inflation is an increase in the money supply and causes prices to go up? The federal reserve keeps printing billions of dollars and we give it away to nonsense and that’s why your fast food is expensive. Not because of a greedy CEO.
@@augustvong7057I promise you it’s multiple hundred million a year, if we are talking about McDonald’s size publicly traded corporations.

I don’t think it has anything to do with consumers complaining on the prices because I still see lines at fast food drive-thru windows. I think companies just planned to gouge for a set amount of time.
Saddest part is the consumers in those lines will still complain, but will still eat the increased pricing due to the fact they either can't or won't cook when finished with their long hours worth jobs due to exhaustion/ not having enough time to rest and cook before going back to work. Economy is at it's worst right now with inflation plus the corporations wanting to take advantage of the working majority.
Not a horrible deal. Man I miss the dollar menu
The good ole days when 5 bucks got you more food than you could eat
Yea- that’ll fill you up on crap somewhat.
If fast food was actually cheap, imagine how even more fat Americans would be
Wendys way more worth it
The real Dollar Menu? Or the Value Menu? Or the 1,2,3 Menu, or 1 dollar or more menu? Or the Extra Value Meal Menu? Or the Everyday Value Menu? Or the 4 for 4? Or the 2 for 5? Or the 5$ deal meal?
You get my point. Mcdonalds has been doing this for years. They'll take away cheap prices, people will complain and then they'll bring out some "NEW $5 DOLLAR MEAL"
Here a 6 piece nugget and a mcdouble are 2 for 3.99. Add a $1.29 drink and the 1.29 any size fry deal and for an extra ~$1.60 you get a large drink a large fry and 2 extra nuggets.
With the APP i get dollar. Large fries or free fries, and Mc doubkes are buy orlne get one for a dollar. So for 6 bucks i get two burgers, fries and a drink.
Yeah. That small drink is a total rip off. ANY soft drink is $1.29. They should allow you to pick any size drink. At other places I pay the 20 cents to make the drink a large.
F the APP they steal and sell your data.
I think the $5 meal price is standard across the board, but I think it won't be available everywhere. Wendy's has had this style meal available for years. 4 for $4 meals and Biggie bag meals.
It's amazing Mcdonald's is still even in business with the same damn menu for almost 45 years.
When I see you smiling on the youtube thumbnail photo, I know it's gonna be a good review!!! Great review and a good meal deal, glad it was enjoyable 😊
Wendy's let's you replace the drink with a Frosty for their Biggie Bag. What more do I need to say that the Biggie Bag is better
I'd say just the straight up deals, Mcdonalds is better. But I will give Wendy's credit for allowing the choice of frosty(which I'm not a fan of) I use their app and I change the fries to large and the drink to medium, and it comes to $5.85. I think that is the best deal.
Wendys is just better
@@shastealyomeal That too, except fries, but it depends since both fries from Wendy's and McDonald's are pretty inconsistent in quality
Well McDonald's can't keep their ice cream machines working so nah.....they can't do that😂😂😂😂😂😂
That's if you _have_ a Wendy's where you live... nearest one to us is not within practical travel distance. What our town seems to specialize in is Mexican food rather than burgers. At least three (perhaps more) different choices, not counting a Taco Bell, which we also have. The burger places we have are McD's, Burger King, Chili's, Applebee's, and two local places, one of which I have not been able to try yet because I can't drive and no delivery place covers it, as far as I know.

I have been watching your food reviews for years! Very relaxing to watch, keep up the great work.
They basically turned their "buy one get one for a dollar" deal into a meal with a small soda and small fries for a slight upcharge.
Arby's needs to bring back the 5 for $5 and include the small jalapeno bites and small mozzarella sticks in that price, if not a bit more. The food is great but expensive.
They just did 2 weeks ago! It was delicious and had tons of meat piled on 😋
@@SoapworthyProductionsYup! Glad I got that tip from two "houseless" persons, living in a SUV, at my night job. T
First time, I had Arby.
At my local Arby’s in Houston you get 4 roast beef sandwiches for 10 bucks. I miss the 5 for 5.
The meal deal is $5.49 and $6 in some markets in California, of course.
Just get your hands on some of those prepaid debits they’re giving out, re entry might be mandatory
I hope CA fines them for misleading advertising when their $5 deal isn't $5.

What does he reference?
Absolutely nothing.
Like my comment if you know the reference
My friend and I to Del Taco a few days ago here in the west coast and their newer items were all around $7 to $9. We ordered off the $2 menu which were 2 small tacos, 2 tostadas, a bean n' cheese burrito. Then we did the 2 for $7 and got a spicy chicken burrito and a classic grilled chicken burrito. Our total was about $16 and some change. If we'd order their featured item it would have cost over $20.
“Is it a scam?” Would be a great title for a food review series lol
It is a scam! No where actually sells it for 5, almost every place sells it for at least 5.50 if not 7, it's a scam to get you to drive to the restaurant and spend money anyway.
The reason why they're backtracking is because the price keeps going up faster than inflation and portions are getting smaller.
The only news bigger than the McDonalds $5 meal is R-brahs review of the meal.
Are you kidding me? 5 dollars for a soft drink, small french fries, 1 sandwich and a 4 piece nugg? That's a steal these days!
Wendy's still has the 4 for $4. You can go up to $5 if you want a bacon burger or chicken sandwich.
@@CutoutClips maybe depends on area... any near me has no 4 for $4 anymore, just a $5 meal
This is just a psychological trick, this same meal was $3 two years ago. That is a huge and unconscionable price increase, stop buying food from places ripping you off!
Ct state here, it’s upwards of $6-$7 for the Wendy’s biggie bag :/
It's a happy meal, only the burger is the toy and there aren't any apple slices.
peeping the island getaway and cafe sweets candles back there... king of good taste
Nobody needs more food that comes in the $5 meal deal, it has a good protein to dollar ratio. IMO it's a good deal, FINALLY!
Do a video about McDs getting rid of drink stations. That means you get even less value if you eat there. You can go to the counter for a refill, but you have to wait and I think you can really only do that once.
be careful on the McDs quality being the same. I on occasion get a steak egg and cheese breakfast bagel from them. I got two a few weeks ago and the price was lower to my shock. Last week I repeated and on both bagels the first few bites were all egg cheese and bagel. They had very obviously shrunk the steak "patty" size where it barely covered 2/3 of the bagel. The taste was also marginal for the steak plus one of them had a significant piece of gristle. Oh well I can always make my own which I have been doing more and more.
Holy cow I got that this morning. First time having it in years. Your review was spot on. That steak patty was a joke. After the grissle bite I tapped out and tossed it in the trash
remember when you could buy 39cent basic hamburgers and 49 cent basic cheeseburgers on Wednesdays
It was 29cent burgers and 39cent cheeseburgers in my area. And the lines werent 100 ppl deep screaming at employees. Miss those times.
They probably raised the price of everything else to recoup the cost.
$5 is honestly a steal with all that. I love the McDonald’s app so i can build points and get free food sometimes. The deals aren’t bad as well. A little tip: get two McDoubles, it’s a buy one get one for $1, then use your points for something free or use a coupon code of your liking, and boom you get a full meal around under $7
This would be a GREAT new Deal from McDonald's... if it wasn't only available for a month... that kind of kills it.
Also... I caught Mr. Snowflake's new video on you and it really warmed my soul 😇❤️👌✌️
I'd never heard of John before I saw MrSnowflake's documentary.

As a kid that remembered getting chicken nuggets in the 90s and then getting them now they’re literally half the size. Like chicken coins now when they used to be thick
They made that change when they went to all white meat years ago. I liked the nuggets as they were, but people wanted all white meat....
you sure your hands havent just grown?
Someone said that certain franchises have the five dollar sign up but they’re actually charging more. If that happens to me, I’m going to say “Stick it back under the warmer honey, I’m going to Taco Bell.”
I don't know where you're at but here the cheapest Taco Bell meal is the vegetarian build your own combo and its a diollar more than the Mcdonalds meal.
@@Wilco1972 I just meant because I would probably prefer the items at Taco Bell. Yum!
The McDouble and 4 piece nugget if bought separately are already hitting the $5 mark. It is practically a steal adding the small fry and small drink.
At 2:53 I was expecting him to say "let me work it"... 🤣
This is essentially their version of Wendy's Biggie Bags, which used to be $5 and $6. Now, the Biggie Bags are $8 and $9. The only difference between the two is the fries; Wendy's has Medium Fries, while McDonald's has Small Fries.
There is no 8 and nine dollar biggie bags ghey I drive a truck nationwide
So it's basically an Unhappy meal with out the toy.
No the happy meal doesn’t come with a double AND nuggets
AKCHYUALLY, sir... In some places, it cost over 6 bucks and in a couple, $13.
I used to get 3 McDoubles for $3 and go to the supermarket for my beverage (in a 24 oz can😉) back in 2014. Give me 3 McDoubles for $5, and I'll come back to McD's.
Yes, "the price is not justifiable". Today I cooked beef stew. I bought almost all the main ingredients (beef, potatoes, onion, tomatoes) on sale. The few items not on sale (carrots, garlic, salt and other seasonings, butter, flour, vinegar) were a negligible cost; perhaps $4. For approximately $25 USD I cooked enough delicious beef stew for at least eight generous servings; i.e., ~$3 per serving. Yes, by the time I finish eating the stew I will be looking forward to eating something else but the value to price ratio is immensely larger than any anything from a "fast food" restaurant like McDonalds.
Wendy’s deal is better. Better taste too. They still have the 4 for 4 but you can only get the burger not the chicken sandwhich
lol the 5 dollar meal is 13$ in nyc...... uhm what????
I miss when McDonald's nuggets has dark meat and white meat. You could differentiate by the shape.
If McDonald's is looking for a great idea, I would suggest announcing a limited time "throw-back" where they ditch the all veggie deep fry oil for the beef lard enhanced oil they used to use. The fries back then were simply awesome! I bet people would come in droves just to get a taste of what used to be!
Many people slam McDonald’s food. However, there are a lot of people struggling out there and you have to credit them for trying to fill a void. There was a time when I could only afford 50 cent cheeseburgers and a cup of water from McDonald’s.
The McDonald’s next to me has the McChicken version at $5 but the McDouble is a $6 meal! Wtf
Thank you for being you. 💜 (and for your reviews 😉)
I love all of these videos! Reviewbrah rocks!!
Mr. Report of the Week, could you review the "footlong dippers" from subway?
I second this request please
Hardee’s now has a $5.99 meal to compete as well. You get more food than the $5 meals. You get 2 double cheeseburgers, small fries and 20 oz drink. All the $5 meals offer a small order of chicken nuggets to go with the burger or sandwich. Hardee’s double cheeseburger is bigger than any of the primary sandwiches offered in the other meals too.
I just got 1 of each the other day! It was under $11 and it fed me and my 2 kids. Dont judge me 😂
I felt like I was back in 2019 and it was a good feeling.
This aged well on the 5$ .. Lol most places 6.89$ all the way to 13$ in few places
Exactly they say it's a $5 meal but in most places they're charging $6 plus tax and in other cases $13 which is just crazy.
That is 100% worth it! $5 can barely get you a drink a Starbucks now days, so $5 for 3 different food items and a drink is good. This is basically what Wendy's had in their 4 for $4. I used to get that 4 for $4, then it was the $5 biggie bag, and then it went up to $8 and now they don't even offer it anymore. This new $5 meal deal will be the only fast food item I buy from now on until other establishments can compete
Realistically for $5 they could have done 2 of these sandwiches and gave option of 6 nuggets or a Large fry and not lose any money, probably get a lot of sales too. Given several McDonald’s around me that giving away medium fries with any purchase and $3.50 for 2 doubles I think it’s completely doable for $5. 6 nuggets are in same reward points bracket as much cheaper items which tells me the real cost matches those cheaper items…. Probably get away with 10 nuggets.
Honestly the drink can be optional if the amount of food is seemingly good. Doesn’t need to be a classic meal… we’re all just looking for a good deal and that’s probably a better way of marking the times is a bag of food instead of a classic meal.
they should hire you
@@Zowiettri agree in that they need someone or some groups that have a realistic view to design a value menu…. And also talk to them about their pricing. How does it stands? McDonald’s can have my ideas for free because I don’t care. I’d rather a good deal if they’re even paying attention..
Here’s another thing at $3.50 for a pair of McDoubles, or McChickens too; that’s $1.75 a sandwich to you from the restaurant. They can totally bring back a dollar menu if they wanted too… I mean, we all know how cheap the drinks really are we all know how ridiculously overpriced french fries are. I think that’s pretty good proof of it because they’re internal costs are gonna be a lot lower than that and I’m sure adjustment’s internally can be made to further accommodate, again if they really wanted to.
They are losing money on this deal.
@@erniejones5008 ??? HOW? The quality is so fucking low???
@@UrHumanShield because they’re costs are tremendously high the average franchise only makes $150000 a year. Corporate makes all the money. Franchise have to pay a tremendous amount of fees to corporate. They have to lease the property from corporate. They have to give 4% of their profit to corporate and there’s all the other cost involved in operating. Just like Wendy’s doesn’t make anything on the four and five dollar meals. There’s more than just the Food cost them more now. There is the straw and the drink cup. The paper that burger is wrapped in, fry box and labor cost. It all ads up.
They do not ever include what WE want in these meals - only what THEY want to give us. Just give me a big Mac at a discounted price for a change is what I want. Not chicken nuggets or a chicken sandwich.😢
Because they are buying commodities and then taking advantage of downmarket pricing on them to make these deals, that's why only certain areas are actually charging 5, those areas have the commodities at a low enough level to support it, places like hawaii are just nope. Market forces dictate McDonalds priicing and everyone assumes it's just lol they charge 5 dollars, no there is a ton of research into these prices.
@@christophersteen1873 this basically, the McRib always comes back when pork is dirt cheap to buy en masse as well
Is the chicken sandwich just a large nugget ????
No way the soft/soggy fried from McDonald's are goated
The McDouble was at fair amount larger than what you get with this now. The burger you get with this deal is tiny. If McDonald’s fries were edible this would still be a decent deal for the franchise.
The fact that they proudly told everyone that it’s for a limited time only and treating its customers like 3 year olds tells you all you should know.
Their single burgers are a joke. Never saw such a thin bland burger.
Just like
Pizza Hut. Their pizza is as thin as a sheet of paper.
I miss the Checker's 4 for$3
True but I think they still have like those 2 for $3 and 2 for $5 deals.
Who remembers 49 cent cheeseburgers ? on Sunday and Wednesdays " Use to buy 10 and ate all day for $5 , Good times back then 😋
I have figured out a way to get more food from McDonald’s for roughly the same price as the $5 Meal Deals, depending on taxes. I’ve tested it out multiple times in the app and it’s worked for me. Your mileage may vary.
I’ve ordered from the $1 $2 $3 menu and received two McDoubles: one for full price and a second for $1. Then, in the “Deals” section, there was an offer for free fries (any size) with a $2 minimum order. Finally, my local McDonald’s has a “happy hour” deal for drinks ordered between 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM. The drinks are $1 for any size. Grand total in my area: $5.35, taxes included.
In my area, drinks are always $1. Which is super considering a drink from Taco Bell, Arby's or Wendy's is around $3-4.
You can also get buy one get one for a dollar and get water. Two small fries, McDouble, 4 piece nuggets. About 6 dollars.
My McDonald’s charges for water now, unfortunately
But is the "deal" only if you order on the app? Seems like McDonald's runs a lot of deals that are "available on app only". Not everyone wants to clutter up their devices with a hundred different apps or waste time with clicking on this, that and the other when you can simply tell the employee at the counter what you want. Also app ordering is taking away jobs. If a company is going to create a deal, make the deal available for everyone no matter their preferred method of ordering.
It’s not only in the app.
