Much of America's fast-food companies, from Taco Bell to Chick-fil-A, are more expensive than they used to be. However, a viral McDonald's
Egg McMuffin post showed how pricey some fast-food restaurants have grown, and customers are complaining on social media.
The New York-based Bespoke Investment Group posted a McDonald's receipt on X (previously Twitter) on Jan. 27.
The receipt stated that a Fairfield, Conn., McDonald's charged $14.58 for two Egg McMuffins, or $7.29 each.
Fairfield McDonald's sold a Bacon, Egg & Cheese McGriddle for $7.19, according to the receipt. Two Egg McMuffins and a Bacon, Egg & Cheese McGriddle cost $23.37.
The Bespoke account was not alone in being shocked by breakfast prices. Over 800 X users have commented on the page, many criticizing McDonald's prices.
Remember that Fairfield McDonald's is in a rest area, where pricing are higher. McDonald's shops may also charge very different prices for the
same things. An Egg McMuffin costs $3.39 at a restaurant near me in central New Jersey.
Luckily, many X users gave McDonald's customers money-saving advice in the comments. Several advised using McDonald's app offers and
promos. On Jan. 31, I saw a BOGO promotion on McDonald's app for two breakfast sandwiches for the price of one.
