Wow OP are you just now figuring this out?

>5.39 for a double cheeseburger
I don't understand why anyone eats sloppa anymore. It's so expensive. I can get a pack of 8 chicken thighs for $8, and it'll last me 4 days of eating 2 a day.

that was what, 100 years ago? dollar menu was 20 at most

>>81729162
It's almost like the value of the dollar was intentionally tanked overnight or something

>>81729187

>fast food is suddenly "affordable" the moment you install their shitty apps
I FUCKING HATE THIS SHIT. STOP MAKING ME DOWNLOAD AN APP JUST TO GET YOUR SHITTY FOOD ON THE WAY TO WORK FOR A DECENT PRICE FUCK YOU.

M1 is the money supply in the US economy, considering the downtrend started around the time Russia invade Ukraine it probably went overseas.

>$2 hamburger
Dystopian. Americans are the most oppressed race on earth today

Even the worst quality chicken thighs around me are about $10 per lbs minimum.

>>81730604
>where
Not a burger?
Chicken thighs go on sale for .99c/lb at Meijer once or twice a week

yes, in germany we had a 1 euro menu, small shit like small fries, hamburger, cheeseburger, chickenburger at mcdonalds... all 1 euro.
That was in the fucking mid 2000's.
we've literally had 300% inflation since then, even though jewish money experts on tv claim its like 2% on average per year. Fucking bullshit. All the shit I care about, rent / real estate prices, electricity, most grocieries and food. everything's fucking 3x the price it was 20 years ago, but the average worker gets MAYBE like 50ish% more money than the average worker in the 2000's.
And people wonder why our generation isn't having kids.
This shit is a slippery slope and at the bottom of the slide is at best neo-feudal wage slavery to our kike overlords.

ITT people from california say "lmao that's low" while rural hicks in the middle of fucking kansas say "OMG THAT'S RIDICULOUS"

We need to bring back bargaining IRL. Just start bargaining. They will have to cut prices in order to speed up their drive thru. It will have so many people arguing to get cheaper food.

But trump's America... biden

Ground beef is $4/lb. Mcdonald's hamburger patties are the best of the fast food options and they use 1.6oz patties. It is difficult to squish them down that thin but I stick them in the freezer after squishing to make transferring and cooking easier. So we're looking at $0.4/patty. Can't remember how much the cheese is but you have to use a good American cheese or make it yourself with whatever your favorite kind of cheese is. It's basically a very thick cheese sauce that is stable and sliceable at gold temps. Some use gelatin, I like evaporated milk and sodium citrate with a medium cheddar. Bread costs next to nothing.
So homemade price is in the neighborhood of $1-$2 and the results are superior. Mcdonald's does not use msg in any of their products even though it's the most obvious ingredient that should be used. Mix salt, msg, and onion powder. Play with ratios, if one is off it's only three things no you can easily dial it in to your tastes. This is your magic mix. Apply liberally and with cast iron skillet sear it in clarified butter or tallow. Flip and season the other side liberally. Place cheese on patty, place patty on cheese, place cheese on patty, you've got a double cheese burger. Add another layer and it's a triple. Cover it just long enough to melt then put on toasted buns.

Toasted buns sounds fancy but it's just putting it in a buttered skillet long enough to brown the inside surfaces. Now for more secrets, dehydrated minced onions. Soak it in water and you've got the mcdonald's style onion mince. Big spoonful of onion is spread on burger. Ketchup is ass so don't use it. Mustard you put five dabs like the face of a dice cube on the top bun. Put assembled top bun on patty cheese stack and give it a quarter twist to distribute the mustard. Lift the top but and now add three pickle slices. Very hard to find good pickles for a burger, most are either made to go on dessert like ice cream instead of sandwiches. You want a very sour and salty pickle. Out of laziness I get the klausen sagital sliced pickles and cut in thirds. Wrap tight in wax paper and place in a hot oven, whatever temperature you usually use to heat your dishes before serving should be fine, 130-170f should be fine. Give it a good fifteen minutes to meld. Now you have <$2 better than mcdonald's cheeseburgers. Stores great too for lazy weeknight or drunk and it's 0200 meals. Patties freeze, cheese keeps in refrigerator, magic mix in salt cellar, dehydrated onions are stable dry or a week hydrated and refrigerated, mustard and butter stay on the counter and don't go bad, pickle slices can be cut into thirds and refrigerated. The 15 minutes melding time accounts for >50% of the time to make it. My deep fryer takes about ten minutes to reach temperature and fries must cook for 4.5-6 minutes, so the burger is ready by the time your fries are hot out the fryer. McDonald's fries are impossible to replicate, though I've read of success stories it's too much work. I buy frozen sloppa restaurant fries at Sam's.

Since I can't beat mcdonald's here I pivot and go super different. Kizami nori, make sure no sugar added or it will taste bad and sweet. Pulse in food processor a couple of times. Dump fries from fryer into colander, big pinch of the crushed seaweed, heavy hand of Tony Chacheres creole spice mix, toss to evenly distribute, dump on plate. Unwrap burger and put on plate. If you like dipping fries use whatever in a ramekin and put on plate. Tall glass of strong half sweet tea. For <$5 you've got two burgers, large fries, and a drink. I don't like most sweet stuff so I can't help with desserts. I do like peaches or cantaloupe when they're in season.
This is food prep done right. Everything raw and unassembled but keeps long for minimum grocery store trips and like 20 minutes total time to make. Scales insanely well up to three people with no increase in time required. Add five minutes for every six additional burgers. It's fine if burgers sit in the hot oven for up to 45 minutes. A one gallon oil capacity fryer is sufficient to make about five or six servings at a time. I don't have that many friends so it's more than sufficient.

260 for a burger is not that bad
your money has lost its value, and will continue to for the rest of your life , your life savings will amount to fucking nothing and you will be priced out of life as you grow old

I used to pull up to McDonalds stoned as fuck at 3AM and order 10 McChickens and 10 McDoubles for like $30 so I could have goyslop borgers for the next 2-3 days. Now the burger economy is in shambles. West has fallen.

I bet the teenager negresses there literally shat in all your burgers lmfao

Just go to chinese buffets like DBDR and get some MSG slop instead.

>>81729095 (OP)
You can still get a burger for a little over $1, but you have to spend ten minutes cooking it in your kitchen, instead of spending thirty minutes round trip driving and wait fifteen minutes in line to pay $5.40 for mystery meat and additives.
