Research on McDonalds price formation Sun, 06/3/07 7:44 AM (permalink)
Hi y'all,

I'm a dutch student working on an investigation about the price formation of McDonald's.

I'd need some price data, could you please help me a bit?

What do I need?- What are the consumer prices of the following 4 products:
Hamburger
McChicken
LARGE portion of french fries
Coca-Cola Classic LARGE
- In which town/city/state have you checked?


Thanks! I will absolutely post my experiences on this topic.

    Hello All,
    Jelle, I live near Harrisonburg, Virginia, USA.
    The hamburger is 89 cents. At times, I have ordered lettuce, tomato, mayo and mustard and
    charged nothing extra. Other times, they charged 30 cents for the tomato and 20 cents for the lettuce. Many of my co-workers love the double cheeseburger that cost .99.
    The large fries are $1.79.
    Haven't ordered the others.
    Take Care,
    Fieldthistle

        Right now the extra large drinks are 89 cents for 42 ounces. They do this as a summer promotion. Last summer it was 69 cents. McChicken is always 99 cents. Large fries I think are $1.79? Not sure how much the hamburger is, but I will check. This is in Waukesha, Wisconsin, USA.

        Good luck on your project!

          Thanks stricken_detective!

          People, don't hesitate to post because I could have enough data yet.
          I need as much data as possible!

                    jelle,
                    Do you want prices in England? or just the U.S.?
