      that's bad enough Zeet!

No doubt!
And at the rate of double burgers on an order, they may go through a pound of meat in a week!

20 years ago I really liked everything they did. 
The quality of what's served might only be as good as the employees who are there to fix it.
Either way it used to be a "budget friendly" place to eat and I think it's way overpriced now.

The ONLY thing I ever liked at McDonalds was their Egg McMuffin.  An egg, piece of bread, cheese and a tiny slab of canadian bacon.  Now they get something like $6 for what should cost no more than $1.50. F- it.  I can find better for less money elsewhere.

Yep...! Plus if you support a family run business that ISN'T WOKE...there is something kind of patriotic about doing that.

I can buy boneless, skinless chicken breasts for $2.50 per pound. Chicken dark meat pieces for $1.50 / pound.
A 5 pound  bag of potatoes for $2.50
1 gallon of milk for $3
But leave it to some Lazy Libtard to try and convince me that paying  $10 for some McDONALDS INDUSTRIAL CONVEYOR BELT DRIVEN HOG SLOP is a great value.....!
Do they pass out FREE VACCINES with every HAPPY MEAL too...?

Dinner tonight was baked boneless pork loin chops, steamed green beans, and mashed potatoes.

The wife and I both had full plates for less than $5 and it was a whole lot better that any fast food.

Better tasting, and better health wise.

 Excellent...!
Yes lean pork is a great value too.
This is the year I finally get off my *** and start making special road trips [through very pretty country] to a family owned meat market.

We had a local butcher that was pretty close several years ago, but he retired and closed his shop. Broke my heart.

I've gotten to know a couple of the guys that work in the meat dept at our local Kroger and they always take pretty good care of us.

The chops we had tonight were only a $1 a chop, sliced from whole loins that they reduced and cut for us for free because they were getting close on the date. They will slice anything I want them too for free also. I get them to thin slice roasts for jerky all the time, and custom grind hamburger for us when the chuck roasts are on sale.

I just read on social media and a few right wing websites that a Big Mac meal costs 16 dollars. Wait a minute. I just went to McDonalds. It's 9.69 here where I live and don't know if it's some sort of classy place where people pay with 100 dollar bills. Isn't this the problem? It's an oblivious hyperbole that can easily be refuted in reality. I guess inflation is a problem but so is misrepresentation. Just my soap box and it's even cheaper with the app that got preloaded to my cellphone. Of course that is a whole other conversation but I'll leave it at that. By the way, buy local.

They aren't near that much here.
