      McDonald’s used to be relatively cheap.

      Now it costs as much as a lot of the sit down restaurants in my area. Getting out for under $16 is a task and it’s more likely gonna cost me $20+.

      Wendy’s is still affordable for the most part and has taken over those times I’d normally go to McDonald’s.

        The only decently affordable fast food places are wendys and taco bell. Atleast that ive noticed from the big ones. The local ones can still be cheap.

          Wingstop is pretty decently priced too.

          Panda Express was too but stopped being reasonable around the time they launched their rewards program.

        I live in a small town, McDonald’s is the only “fast food” place here until last week when a Popeye’s chicken opened. That place had been packed every day since they opened. You can get an equivalent meal for two at nearly the price of one meal at McDonald’s.

        Plus the food at Popeye’s is way better.
