The fast food chain may be rolling out a five-buck value meal in the near future, according to Bloomberg, as many fast food chains respond to tough feedback from customers about rising prices.

McDonald's CEO was paid 17.8 million in 2022... Maybe they should cut some salaries?!!
1/2 of that is equity (ie. stock ownership) so its not liquid...
@@Chad_MaxThese giant companies keep their value, so the stock is as liquid as it gets. Stop pretending like the money he gets isn’t real.
that's not even $4 per store (13,500 stores) per day wouldnt even make a dent

Poor quality food. Sketchy employees. Questionable sanitation. Now high prices. Count me out!
like sketchy employees that spit on the grill to make sure it is ready for the next batch of burgers or the ones that don't wash their hands after taking a crap.or the ones that drop the burger on the dirty floor and put it back on the bun or the ones that take out the garbage and come back in and flip burgers I have seen it all when I worked fast food when I was a teenager that is why I only cook my own food. all the other stuff I have seen I can't put on KZhead they would kick me off.

Tell the idiots in corporate they could bring people back by giving us the snack wraps we've been asking for the past five years.
I used to go everyday for them 😍 They used to be 1.50$ back then, they’ll probably have em at 3-5$ now lol
OMG I need the snack wrap
@@TommyCruz-ec9xvit used to be $1

They still have the snack wraps in the UK
Where I live in Texas, one large Big Mac meal, one large 10 piece McNuggets meal, two apple pies and 4 jalapenos was $31 and change last weekend. Whataburger the previous week; one medium double Whataburger meal, one double Whataburger sandwich only, one large onion rings side, one large fries on the side and two apple pies was $29 and change. Considering the minimum wage in Texas is still $7.25, and the city I live in has not raised its minimum wage either, I don't get why prices have gone up here in Texas by a third in the past two years.
It's corporate greed at this point. It's shameful about minimum wage not being raised. Governor Abbott and the corrupt Ken Paxton are a disgrace.
5 Guy's prices are probably the worst.
I always have frozen sausage patties, frozen hash brown patties, eggs, cheese, and English muffins in the house. My kids love McDonald's breakfast and they can make it at home any time they want. It's much cheaper just to have the ingredients on hand and make your own.
The dollar tree puts the same things in my fridge and freezer
Amen… 🙏👍🏼… home cooked food is so much better anyway!
@@dalindav frozen fast food from the supermarket is NOT home cooked food. It's got all the sodium and preservatives that are in the drive thru versions..
Here is an idea: what about eating more fruits and vegetables from the grocery store?
You have to search what is cheapest! I walk and see every Friday what I can buy! I’m just glad I have many grocery stores walking distance. I get some lettuce and cucumbers and chicken and that my meal for the week and then I make a soup and I’m set
Good idea for your diet but those are more expensive now too.
Have you seen the prices for groceries these days? Everything's expensive now 😂
A single fry.. one mc nugget and a ice cube...5$..
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
So effed😂😂😂

The $ goes before the number, you westerners don't even know your own money
In addition, if you are already giving free advertising to McDonald's, why not suggesting cheaper alternatives to your viewers?
Exactly
Do you expect that from American media😅
the video was sponsored by McDonalds
Because McD’s paid them to do it .
McDonald's over the years have gradually got worse I remember when the milk shakes used to look brown chocolate or pink strawberry, and they don't taste of chocolate and strawberry now,, as for the burgers they've slowly become worse and worse to the point that I do not even use McDonald's anymore,
You found a location with a WORKING ice cream machine?
I was on the road last week and went to McDonald’s and that burger had no taste. Aside from them shrinking it down to the smallest size I have ever seen, it’s now been reformulated to taste like nothing while costing twice as much😞. No thanks
I didn't hear them mention how you walk into so many restaurants these days and see only 1 or 2 people working in them as well
Like at Target hardly anyone at the main checkouts yet self serve busy and problem of retail theft at the self checkout and the grocery stores as well hardly any people manning the general checkout lines
Sorry our $5 Value machine is broken sir.
so is the ice cream machine always.😅😅😅😅
Why do people complain about the high prices? Just vote with your wallet!
People are.complainbig because McDonald’s was once the absolute bottom tier, as far as price for a fast food meal. If the bottom tier is now $14, where do they go now after they’ve voted with their wallet? 😑
And make your own! ❤
Bottom tier and cheap ingredients, I mean is it really beef in the burgers?? Chicken nuggets?? How much is chicken vs bread ... stop eating that crap!!

they out here giving grown adults a happy meal
The Unhappy Meal
And either a McChicken or McDouble.
Consumer: backlash is real.
If it wasn't the deals on the McDonald's app I wouldn't eat there.
There aren't going to be deals on the app anymore, idiot. Why would there be when Drive thru and App is the only way you can order now? Can't have app deals if everyone is using app, dumbass!
Brought a sausage, egg, and cheese McMuffin with an OJ, it was $10 plus in Louisiana.

Absolutely! I have the privilege to live in NYC and I have like 6 grocery stores walking distance! I check and get the the paper every Friday and see what’s on sale and what’s the cheapest. I stopped going to fast food years ago because in NYC the prices have insane for like 5 years

@@teddyjam8134 It's 2024 and you haven't figured it out yet? Do better.
Well yes, for those of us already struggling there’s no way you can continue to eat out. You need to make your own coffee at home and fry your own burger. You can’t continue to keep buying if the funds aren’t there!
They are going to have to do better than that if they want business back, like drop prices across the board, simple.
I have def cut back on going out to grab something to eat its just insane..
I recently bought 2 combos at a non-McDonald's fast food place. The price was more than that at my local buffet for lunch.
The grocery store freezer section is fast food's greatest enemy. All the food they sell is available there for much cheaper.
Abblebees has 2 for 20! Try to get 2 meals for 20 at any fast food joint
Why does every news video about this subject uses the same 2 content creators or commentators?
Yeah, Wendy's has the $5 Biggie Bag, but the prices of everything else on their menu is jacked up way too high. If McDonald's does a $5 meal, brace yourselves for noticeable price increases on every menu item that is not the cheap meal.
Last year for my birthday I got Taco Bell for 3 people and it was over 50 bucks in NYC! I almost fainted! I don’t eat fast food except for my birthday. And they messed up the order also! I remember Taco Bell as a teenager being so cheap! With ten bucks I could feed myself and my two younger siblings! I remember going to McDonald’s and buying them a happy meal for 2 dollars! Now a happy meal in NYC is 7 dollars
So, what’s the plan to speed up even more traffic when the new $5 value meal is introduced? McDonald’s drive thrus already don’t seem to be able to handle what they have now, and a 15min wait for fast food is already unreasonable.😞
I ONLY buy McDonald's from the app! $1 Ice coffee and the coupons deals 🤝🏼 or the 2 for 3.99$ that's it! Regular combo are $12
How come the media reports 4% inflation one minute & then the new high prices of groceries, restaurants, gas, rent, homes & etc. Do i just not understand how inflation is calculated? (To make it not sound so bad). You all know we're paying more than 4% for everything this year than last, right?
yeah but americans are idiots and they know this
I gave up on McDonald's when they raised the price of the Egg McMuffin and the quality went down. A stale muffin and the egg and cheese tasted like it was made an hour ago.
LOL McDonald's was never synonymous with quality ever. Its cheap fast food which was the appeal. Bottom line is they've hiked up prices to the point where the market is now declining so they have to bring those customers back. They'll probably pump more chemicals into the "food" to keep their profit margins going while they cut prices...
If these fast food restaurants start coming out with special value meals I wouldn’t dare eat them. I can only imagine the fillers, insects, poop, etc in the meat to increase the quantity 🤮
It used to be called the McDouble Bundle for $3.50 or so. Adding a drink to make it $5 is actually a price hike. Don't be fooled.

Should have been covering Taco Bell. My mom used to feed our family of 6 for 25$ with a party pack of soft taco supremes. We each would get 2-3 tacos. Now I can’t even buy a meal for even half that and my fiancé and I usually cost almost 30$ now for 2 combos after tax. And delivery services goodness. I’m happy to tip the delivery people but the service fees are ridiculous and the restaurants charge more sometimes. I also noticed smaller portions than what they give in the store. My coworker and I ordered once and she got a slice of pie and it was a literal sliver of pie for 7$ I could have bought a half cake for that much at the supermarket.
To late most of us will never buy so expensive meals in McDonald’s now to late ✋✋✋✋✋✋✋✋✋✋

Soon in 10 years maybe, a double quarter pounder w/cheese will be over $40.
People complained about high price, but I still see a lot of people in my local McDonald. I just saw a lady pick up 20 happy meals couple days ago.
If prices drop they’ll began to cut corners elsewhere which means even lower quality foods

What fine dining restaurant is only $14? @1:03 That woman is delusional or clueless. All these fast food companies have been gouging customers and blaming inflation. Their record profits prove that jacking up prices was a fake inflation excuse.
They used to have 5 dollar meals 2 cheeseburgers fries and soda and the dollar menu now its 10 dollars for 2 small burgers fries and soda
When I gave up eating out I ended up dropping over 40 pounds within three months. This was one of the best decisions I ever made.
That’s like the price of 2 years ago. No value here.
I am not sure what to think , I shop at the grocery store in my town and buy certain things there , but when it comes to meat , I go to the next town over because the same meat is almost 50% less there and that is not a sale price . As for Franchisers like McD's they make Billions and don't care what happens to their Franchisees , The Franchiser sets the price they charge the Franchisee and doesn't allow the Franchisee to shop around for the best deal . The Franchiser buys huge bulk and charges the Franchisee retail ( a hamburger patty may cost $ .19 to make and they sell it to Franchisee for $1.00 ) . The Franchisee has to make money too but since they are already paying retail or close to it there is not much room for profit by the time it gets to them . Don't listen to the Spin Doctors that work for big companies .
That’s why I bought a vertuo plus nespresso machine, they don’t make it like I like it anyway!
Waiting on them to blame the consumers for visiting less often.
Like I've said in other posts, all of these restaurants have decent deals on their apps. If you order on the app before going to the restaurant, you can save quite a chunk of change. I do it all the time.
I don't mean to be broke? LMAO

You couldn’t give me that garbage for free. Or any “fast food” of that matter.
Can't relate since I don't eat fast food 😊 and I don't notice it at grocery stores.
It’s not real food anyway
Look up pink slime or LFTB. McD's claim they quit using this inn 2012, not true. Unfortunately they are allowed to and can call their burgers 100% beef too. Every chain fast food burger you eat is made with some form of this, also their chicken nuggets. Do you really want to feed this to your kids or yourselves?
Before Jan 2021, everything was afffordable
How much before
People will complain and yet still go to Mcdonald's and eat there nasty food.

A 5$ dollar value meal? How about just making the entire menu more affordable, it’s crap food anyways, it should be cheap.

I can image 4 nuggets or hamburger, small fries, and small drink just like BK does ,so it's utterly trashed deal.
Try macdonalds here in the Philippines everything is very cheap!! hehe the place is very clean,too.. coffee is only P60 pesos very cheap.
4 store i will shop.
Stop buying their food!!!
Wouldn't be a value for me since I dont eat their burgs. Id rather have a fish, large fries & nuggets minus the drink. Drinks are a waste of money imo. Haven't bought one in decade. Rather spend $ on food.

record sales every year... they could care less about getting your business back
@@ColtonGrundy The reason they're bringing this "value" meal is because of a decline in sales last year. McDonalds' CEO said as much in an earnings call earlier this year that the company needs to focus on consumer affordability.

I’ve been mapping out my items and mapping out stores for 20 years. What makes her so special also, I’ve been doing that since before inflation so again what makes her so special pay me to give you advice. McDonald’s Burger King Wendy’s Starbucks can suck it. All of that stuff is easily makeable at home now and if I’m gonna go out to eat, I’m gonna go to a nice restaurant in tip a waitress I’m not going through the drive-through no more and not a five dollar menu won’t bring me back.
"I have learned to map out where those items are going to be"... Look, I am 41 and from Indiana. I have learned that as well. In fact, any adult who doesnt comparison shop is an idiot. You are not a genius for doing it.....if you havent done it yet, you are the reason why prices are high.

They run these pieces for the corporations to get a feel for where the public is. A free public survey, if you will. 😐
They run these “stories” for the corporations as a trial balloon to gauge the outage and responses of the general public to see what that can get away with and the highest point to set the prices😞.
