    I live in a VHCOL area, and I can tell you both the McChicken and the McDouble are around $3 where I live. Also, please tell me what kind of satisfying meal you can make with a lettuce and a potato that you can stretch for more than 5 meals, because I’d very much like to hear your idea of a meal based on those two ingredients alone. Hell, tell me any satisfying meal you can make for $5 that can stretch for 5 meals - and don’t just go “bUy ThE fIvE dOlLaR cHiCkEn”, because that requires a membership for either Sam’s Club or Costco, both of which are expensive to afford when you’re earning peanuts.

    McDonald’s does sell sodas for $1, but there are actual food items that are on their $3/$2/$1 menu.

      Potato and lettuce were your idea, not mine. I said rice, which is perfectly satisfying fried or steamed and with maybe some steamed veggies to people who aren’t, you know, addicted to greasy, colorful, highly-caloric, processed “foods.” None of what you just linked is a meal to well-adjusted people.
