ORLANDO, Florida - In response to inflation-hit consumers and corresponding rising fast food prices, McDonald's confirmed that the franchise company will offer a $5 value meal.
Starting on June 25, McDonald's $5 value meal will consist of small fries, a small soft drink, four Chicken McNuggests, plus either a McDouble or McChicken sandwich, McDonald's USA stated in a release.
Inflation
Nationwide, recent high fast food prices are a result of inflation affecting food and fuel prices over the last three years.
“We heard our fans loud and clear – they’re looking for even more great value from us, and this summer that’s exactly what they’ll get,” said Joe Erlinger, President of McDonald’s USA.
“Value has always been part of our DNA. We’re focused on living up to that legacy and offering delicious, affordable options customers can enjoy any time they walk through our doors, go through our drive thru or place an order through our app.”
The Cost Of McDonald's Depends On Which State You Live In
On a state-by-state basis, fast food prices are affected by state minimum wage laws, taxes, and insurance costs that the individual McDonald's franchisee passes down to the consumer, resulting in as high as an $18 Big Mac meal. Real estate affects fast food prices on a local level.
McDonald's value meals and other items are lower in Florida (Ranked No. 31) where the state minimum wage is $12, according to a cost of McDonald's by state list compiled be Delish.
