    In your area John chic-a-fil.
    If you had camped out for the new store opening a couple of days ago you could be eating chicken for a year once a week for free. Only the first hundred customers though. Chow Jim

          Just had a wrap thing from PopEye"s, $1.29. Flour tortilla, seared chicken strip, slaw, w/ jalapeno sauce, real good! They make it w/ a fried strip also, but the seared I liked better.

            Everything but Wendy's in my book. The Burger King $1 Double Cheeseburgers are even better

            Heck I would eat White Castle all day and night before touching a Mcdonald's Cheeseburger.

              I had a $2 Double Quarter Pounder with Cheese yesterday. To my tastes, I like that $1 Double Cheeseburger better. The Half Pounder had TOO MUCH McDonalds beef for the cheese & condiments that were on it. All I could taste was that mystery meat.

              And John, thanks for the $1 biscuit idea. Those are good.

                I think the McDonald's bacon, egg and cheese biscuit is something like $3 or at the very least $2.50. You might be able to get a sausage mcmuffin - no egg - for $1, and I think their chicken biscut may be $1.50.

                If you notice, the Dollar menus, whether it be at McDonalds or Wendy's or one of the other places, now have a few items for a $1 and a few items for under $2.

                  Right now it's a buck at the local McD's. They rotate breakfast items on sale each month.

                    McD's double cheeseburger without the cheese (cheese-like substance product).

                      I was looking at a McDonalds menu the other day, and the double cheese burger was $1 but the regular cheese burger was $1.09. I understand the concept of a loss leader, but this pricing scheme seems to lay waste to any notion that prices are rational.

                          Hardees now has "snack-size" deals that are a small cheeseburger/hamburger/ham & cheese/spicy chicken sandwich, with fries and a regular drink, for $1.99. Much better than McD's, IMHO.

                            There is something about MC D's cheese. That cheese that they put on ther burgers/breakfast sandwich is the best cheese ever. I realize it is processed crap-but no other place has cheese like that

                              Wendy's just started advertising a double cheeseburger that is obviously meant to compete with McD. I have not had the Wendy's product yet, but I do think the McD product is a great deal.

                                Me too. That and a senior Coke gets me out of there for under two bucks.

                                  I love the $1 menu too but I rarely can stay away from an Egg McMuffin when traveling.

                                    Saving the buck for somehing else and living another day without the Mc'D's poison.

                                      Not having to shower under scalding hot water to wash away the shame I feel after eating one.

                                        The regular cheese burger Robearjr mentioned I think has lettuce and tomato. It's 40c to add that to a DCB.

                                              Well, do they still sell the regular hamburger and cheeseburger? I assume they still come in the happy meal, but it seems like years since I saw the single on their menu. I think they sold for 69 cents when I last saw them.

                                                If I'm in a hurry on the road at times I'll stop at McD or a BK and get a plain burger. They're not bad, I'm paying a lot for a bunch of bun and condiments, and I think they're a lot better than the burgers they promote.

                                                    PapaJoe, you must be in one of the test markets, we do not have them locally. They sound good, what's your opinion?

                                                      The wraps I had were just chicken, slaw, and a jalapeno mayo sauce. I thought they were real good. They didn't have the other ones mentioned in the article.

                                                        I just got back from McDonalds, and the bacon, egg and cheese biscuit was not a dollar. I think they were charging $3 for it.
