They did bring back the 5 dollar meal though, at least in my region. Which immediately makes them a viable option.
But the five dollar meal is weird in comparison to everything else they offer.
For example, a small fries by itself is $2.50 half the cost of the whole 5 dollar meal.
To me this indicates that they’re just arbitrarily increasing prices for the sake of them being more expensive.
The problem of course with raising prices at McDonald’s is that people eat there because they’re supposed to be cheap and fast. Not because of their “gourmet” food.
