McDonald’s is now prohibitively expensive,” one very exasperatedRedditorposted last year.

“I went to a drive-thru to order a McChicken and medium fries.

They charged me $8.35, but I drove out of the line before I reached the window.

This order barely cost $4 max a few years ago…

I do not see myself paying for McDonald’s ever again.”

McDonald’s also recently launched the new McValue menu to lure budget-conscious customers back to the chain.
