$3 for a single McDonald's hash brown? Some customers are fed up and pushing back - eviltoast
Corporate America may be bumping up against the limit of its power to keep raising prices as consumers in some markets cry uncle.

“Even though we’re pushing through pricing, the consumer is tolerating it well,” he said in October analyst call.

    Unless pushing back means not shopping at McDonald’s, then it doesn’t matter

      Definitely not buying $3 hash browns there when I can go to Kroger and get a 2 lb sack of frozen hash brown patties that are about the same for $3 to $4. They are great in the air fryer

        Until all the grocery stores merge, create a monopoly and do their own round of increases. Kroger/Albertsons merger would be awful here in Washington.

        Within a couple miles of my house I have: QFC (Kroger), Safeway (Albertsons), Fred Meyer (Kroger).

        I haven’t had McDonald’s in over 20 years, the only thing worse than McDonald’s food that I can think of is home delivered cold soggy McDonald’s. Is free delivery really that appealing?

            You live in an area where it is that or the canned ravioli and you are drunk/high/sick/an idiot? Maybe.

            Toaster oven makes some damn nice hash browns fast and for cheap. Buy them in bulk from the frozen section in your grocery store.

            Burgers are also pretty easy, smoosh your ground beef into a patty, flip for a few min on a stove, put on bun, cheese, tomato, and a green. Maybe add a sauce like thousand island (looking at you big mac), mayo, or ketchup.

            You can have both done well before your delivery driver arrives and spend a fraction of the money.
