19QOS19 Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 You can get a small burger for 99p, or a bigger burger with fries and a drink for little more than a shop lunch meal deal. People can argue about the quality all day long, but it’s not an expensive meal. Out of all the burger chains it’s the cheapest by a fair margin.A meal deal from Boots is around £3.50 and I'm sure Morrisons is £3. That's a sandwich, a side and a drink. I find that far more filling than a medium McDonalds meal. I will normally have a Big Mac meal which is around £4.70. It honestly doesn't fill me like a meal deal will and I think a meal deal is far better value for money than a McDonalds meal. I expect some folk will say "McDonalds is a hot meal" but let's face it, it more often than not isn't. It also appears almost immune from inflation. I'm not exactly a frequent customer, but the only discernable price rise I can note in the last 5 years is the 14p sugar tax on my Coke. Nah it's definitely went up in price. Maybe not along with inflation but it's certainly a lot more expensive now. A double cheeseburger used to be 99p. I think it's around £1.40 now. A happy meal was £1.99 and it's closer to £3 now. The last time we had a McDonalds it came to over £20 for the 4 of us (2 adults, 2 kids). It included an extra double cheeseburger for the adults (so I wasn't still hungry!) but they were medium meals. I could get a takeaway from a pizza shop for far less and it's far more filling. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Appreciate I brought up shop meal deals so fair enough for the comparison, but I was only bringing them up to show how cheap a restaurant/fast food meal a McDonald’s is. If you compare the price of a McDonald’s meal to almost any other restaurant/fast food place it will be the cheapest. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiegoDiego Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 You can't sit in with a meal deal, so no surprise it's cheaper. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't sit in with a meal deal, so no surprise it's cheaper. That argument only holds up if they charged you less for taking away. It's the exact same price at a drive-thru as it is indoors. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buchan30 Posted November 5, 2021 Share Posted November 5, 2021 Christmas songs being played in November. December 1st is an acceptable time to start playing them, anything before that is just wrong. The problem is as well, is that it is the same 15-20? Songs that are played in every shop. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably more one for the unpopular opinions thread, but they adverts have done nothing for me over the years. They have never made me want to go to john lewis on the back of it. I thought that was the whole point of advertising? To make you feel like you wanted to go to their shop. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s genuinely mental. I was asked at work if I’d seen it yet and why not, go and watch it on YouTube. Nah, I’m alright thanks. Then folk continue to sit and talk about it and what year was their favourite etc etc. Its a fucking marketing tool aimed at morons. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
