Yup, and that's just a burger. Mind you, I live in spitting distance of NYC, so I do admittedly have a cost that's inflated due to high taxes and high minimum wage. But all my other costs were based on my local supermarket that's within walking distance of the McD's I used for price reference. If I'd used the Walmart that's in the same lot, it'd be even more extreme.

I just checked the prices from my local McD on deliveroo it is bad but not that bad, think they are also a little bit cheaper when ordering directly inside but not 100% sure havenโ€™t been there myself in ages
