    A few weeks ago my daughter and I were out and about and almost went to McDonalds. We decided instead to go to our favorite local Italian place and it ended up being cheaper than McDs, if you don’t include the tip, for a much better meal at a sit down restaurant that supports local businesses. I really feel like McDonald’s priced themselves out of their own market… and they’re not even the most expensive “fast food”.

      It’s wild to me the prices that McDonald’s is near me. You can save quite a bit by using the mobile app and succumbing to their data mining, but I don’t want to do that.

      You’re absolutely right that, well, sans alcohol, I can eat at a good chunk of sit-down, nice restaurants in my area for basically the same price as McDonald’s. Which is absurd.
