{Mcdonalds Menu Prices Guide}

Look closer at the Mcdonalds menus next time if you happen to be in Chicago and you may be surprised to find a breakfast dollar menu. This is because breakfast sales have been on a decline at MD's and virtually every other fast food chain.

The new morning dollar menu is best viewed as a mix and match, and it's perfectly easy to buy your breakfast now for 3 dollars and a little change with tax. Great deal!

For example, you can get an egg mcmuffin, a fruit and yogurt parfait, and a medium coffee for 3.00 plus tax.

I can tell you right now, the egg mcmuffins are going to fly off the racks!

I was a consistent mcmuffin eater for a few years but it seemed prices had gone far too high for me to continue. Just a few short months ago, I remember paying almost 6 dollars for 2 mcmuffins with tax. To think they are now only a dollar makes my mouth water!

According to experts, the unemployment rate has definitely affected the number of people who used to routinely visit Mcdonalds for breakfast instead of eating cereal or other breakfast foods at home. This has spelled disaster for breakfast sales in most every fast food place around the country.

To make matters worse, Dunkin' Donuts has lured away a big chunk of Mickey Dee's customers at breakfasttime, and sales from MD's new specialty coffees launched in May of 2009 have not been the hit they expected.

I still think you can't go wrong with their breakfast at their regular price. I usually eat either pancakes with just a little bit of syrup or an egg mcmuffin with a medium regular coffee. It keeps my calories down and it doesn't burn holes in my pockets!

Recently it was discovered by some smart shopper that the Mcdonalds prices on 20 piece Mcnuggets in some areas was actually higher than if you merely purchased 5 four-piece Mcnuggets off their dollar menu!

Talk about a great deal!

I was wondering recently why these darn chicken morsels seemed so expensive; Mcdonalds menu prices are usually very low-priced.  I should have looked closer at the dollar menu.

I recently took a mini-vacation and on the first night, the kids didn't want to go to Outback Steakhouse or Longhorn's for a thick, juicy steak. No!  they wanted - you guessed it - some chicken Mcnuggets.  Although I like mine with BBQ sauce, my cholesterol's high and I should really stay away; ahh, who am I kidding?... I loved them anyway!

Some people have begun to question Mcdonalds about this price discrepancy but their representatives say it is definitely not a trick or scam; each franchisee sets their own prices, and it may or may not be an oversight on their part.

Either way, now that the cat's out of the bag, you can bet franchise owners are going to scrutinize their prices with a fine toothed comb.  Another snafu like this one would be mighty embarrassing indeed.

It goes to show you; we should always be searching for the best value for our money when it comes to purchasing anything, not just at Mcdonalds.  Always keep a look out for their daily and weekly specials; they usually post them as advertisements right on their windows.
