McDonald's to change Dollar Menu

http://articles.moneycentral.msn.com...ollarMenu.aspx

Quote:

Some restaurants are selling [doubles cheeseburgers] with one slice of cheese instead of two, and billing it as a "double hamburger with cheese." Others are offering a double hamburger without cheese. Some are selling the traditional double cheeseburger at prices ranging from $1.09 to $1.19....

...The biggest question for the eight-item menu is what to do with the double cheeseburger, considered its anchor. High dairy prices have pushed up the cost of cheese, and McDonald's predicts more pressure from higher beef costs this year.

Thompson said if McDonald's moves the double cheeseburger off the lower-price menu, there would still be some type of $1 burger.

This could be devastating to cheap people like me. Mickey D's had better not frick with my double cheeseburgers. And who knows what might happen to the two apple pies?:(

Leave the Dollar Menu alone! I'm serious! like Sirius Black

It's called the Dollar Menu for a reason; everything has to be a dollar. It isn't called the $1.19 Menu. :(

They're too ******ed to make a good decision.

Plus, you can tell how cheap their meat is.

One cheeseburger is $.89, and a double cheeseburger is $1.

I went to the mall with a dollar(don't ask) on tax free weekend and went to the Mcdonalds for the dollar menu and ordered the double cheeseburger but they said the tax free thing doesn't affect the food court so the burger costed like $1.09 and I left the mall hungry :(

lol here in canada the cheeseburgers are 4 times the cost and a third of the size, its highway robbery over here. Good thing healthcare is free so you can eat pills from being depressed because the foods so damn expensive xD

What costs you $1, costs us £1 on the "pound saver menu", which is almost twice as much given currency conversion.

Indeed, double cheeseburgers have gone up to £1.19.

Though we do have LAN gaming centres. This almost makes up for it, but not quite.

Go somewhere that feeds you better I suggest, McDonolds has the nastiest food ever in my opinion. But that is a bad thing for a lot of people, like u had said since u are one of em and i know at least 10 people this will damage... kinda.

I generally don't eat fast food aside from on the random rarity.

I'm sure it must be a loss paying that bit more.

**** McDonalds. The last time I ate there, I couldn't sleep because it made me sick.

Ew.

But yeah, I've heard that cheese is the biggest problem with restaurants lately. A buddy of mine works at a sub/pizza place, and his boss gave him strict regulations on how much to use. STRICT.

I guess the company (its a chain) looses X million dollars a year on cheese (I was thinking 6, but I don't remember)

I go there once in a while, order a quarter pounder meal and feel FINE afterward.

Well, it depends on the person, some might have stomach problems or something...

XD but the weirdest thing is that its "cheese", not actual 100% pasteurized full-blown dairy cheese slices XP i mean, its like 97% canola/vegetable oil, how can that be so pricey XP and its like 3oz of meat in a burger too

I never used to get it either.

Then I went like, I dunno...a few years prolly without eating it. I had some for dinner one night, and had stomach cramps all night. I tried it again the next day (not making the connection) and it did it again. I told mom to bring me Chinese home from then on if she was too lazy to cook.

So, to hell with McDonalds.
