"McDonald's popular $1 McDouble cheeseburger, which has lured customers to the Golden Arches since 2008, is getting hard to sustain as rising beef prices threaten the company's profit margin."

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/20132/01/mcdouble-price-mcdonalds-beecosts_n_2595696.html

So it seems the McDouble may be leaving the dollar menu soon. How does this make you feel? Will you still buy it if they raise the price?

I was half joking about the Obama part, but its just dumb to blame McDonalds for the price of beef and grain getting higher.

The price of all food is always going up, they have to either raise prices or shrink sizes over time just like everyone else

They're raising the price on the mcdoubles because they fucking have to, you'll notice no one else in the biz can even come close to it's 23 grams of protein for a buck. It is not a profitable item in the least, as someone else pointed out they actually have been losing a few pennies on every mcdouble sold for a few years now, but it's a huge edge over their competition and can usually bring in people to also buy their other items while they there.

The mcdouble is popular BECAUSE it's cheap, the last thing Mcdonalds wants to do is raise it's price if they can avoid doing so when they have about a million other different items they can raise prices on with negligible impact.

comparing McDonalds to Apple just shows how little you understand about the topic

They have pretty much the opposite strategy

McDonalds makes ok products at super low prices with price being the main attracting

Apple makes mildly above average at high prices and relies on superb marketing and innovation (or at least popularizing the innovation of others)

Since it's $2 in Australia, let's hope they keep it on the menu longer. But to be honest, since they replaced the $2 Chicken and Cheese (always thought the combination wasn't as nice) With $2 Chicken and Mayo (and Lettuce), I've been getting that instead since it's pretty much just a $2 McChicken.

this is what i can't stand about this board. just because theres a mcdonalds on your corner doesnt mean youre forced to eat there, if you have common sense you can manage your own diet and no fast food isnt THAT horrible as long as you don't eat it for every fuckin meal each day. im sick of people complaining about unhealthy food EXISTING, like it exists for convenience and the downside of super fast and cheap food that doesnt require preperation is that its unhealthy.....take responsibility for your own diet, stop blaming companies for people being fat.....its THEIR OWN FAULT.

it's bullshit how much they Price gouge you for fries. 1.29 for a small fry when it's probably 5 cents worth of potato and oil. Talk about absurd margins on that. Same with the coffee and sodas. It looks like I'm sticking to jack. I prefer a big cheeseburger from them anyway.

ridiculous. when i see fast food prices i always wonder how they pay rent, insurance, wages, etc. medium pizza for $5? three tacos for $1? and is OP correct that they sold a DOUBLE CHEESEBURGER for $1?

it might make sense if there were a line at each register 24/7, but half the time many locations have very few customers.

It's really a bit silly to think that McDonald's patties are some frankenstein mix of assholes and eyeballs, really. While the meat isn't awesome quality by any means, it's actually pretty acceptable for ground meat. Don't get me wrong, it's still awful for you and personally, I find it pretty gross, but a lot of the conspiracy theories about the place are just that - theories.

Thanks for the link.

The urban myths and disinformation surrounding McDonald's is just plain depressing. The people responsible generally have a fact-based approach and urge the listener to "wake up" to the reality of how the food is produced. But often times, that "reality" is biased and distorted like all agendas tend to be. It can be difficult if not downright impossible to get the facts.

Words like "processed" and "chemicals" mean very little in the context of food and are just FUD for the uninitiated and uneducated.

$1.99/lb ground beef "pink slime"? Yes, please.

I don't care if they're going to complain about costs, eliminating the McDouble from its $1 price point is just asking for trouble. This would also imply that if they raise the price here, they'll likely do it across the board for all their burgers.

Stop eating specialty cheese and drinking real milk. Those things are needlessly expensive and honestly, I bet they're the same as the normal stuff anyway, just in a fancy package. Same goes for homemade spaghetti sauce and soup with chunks of real steak. Again, the regular stuff is just fine unless you cashed your paycheck that day and you're celebrating before it all goes to waste.
