“Even though we’re pushing through pricing, the consumer is tolerating it well,” he said in October analyst call.
normal way to talk about ‘fellow’ human beings
Mcdankles hash browns are always a waste of money, no matter the price :P delicious though
There has to be a recipe for people to make McDonald’s style hash browns at home somewhere. That’s just crazy to pay $3 for something like that.
They sell them in the frozen section at most grocery stores… Not McD branded or anything, but it’s not like there’s anything remotely special or unique about them.
Well most folks don’t have a deep fryer at home so how are you gonna bite into it and burn your mouth to hell as a pocket of oil bursts??
I like them air fried; still got that nice crunchy exterior.
Most potato products air fry at 400 for 12 minutes wonderfully (don’t over crowd). It’s great! There is a difference between brands though, some end up a bit oily after cooking, some don’t. Depends what you like.
On my list to figure out is tempura and/or wetter things.
While on this subject – my family and I very rarely eat out and it’s been that way since before greedflation hit. I realize that’s not the case or even feasible for everyone. For anyone in a situation where they actually need to eat out (or just really, really want to), start looking at your local sit-down restaurants. Some of them are cheaper to eat at now than to go through a drive through and grab a ‘value’ meal.
In my experience, almost every small business restaurant has jumped on the greedflation train too. Otherwise these big corpos wouldve adjusted their pricing.
No one needs to eat at a restaurant. It’s always a want.
That’s why i packed 15 meals on my last week long work trip! /s
Even beyond the fact that time, energy, motivation, knowledge aren’t always available to cook… There are a TON of food deserts in the United States. Places where your options are one of 3 fast food joints, or a dollar general. The nearest grocery store is sometimes an hour away. And, of course, if you live in the food desert, you probably work in the food desert, which is going to have shit wages, meaning your car probably isn’t reliable enough to get groceries from that far away.
People with low food security and low education don’t always have a great ability to cook at home and need to eat fast food sometimes.
