$3 for a single McDonald's hash brown? Some customers are fed up and pushing back
Corporate America may be bumping up against the limit of its power to keep raising prices as consumers in some markets cry uncle.
"Even though we're pushing through pricing, the consumer is tolerating it well," he said in October analyst call.

It's easy to tolerate price increases on products when you don't buy that product. The thing that concerns me though, is that if people stop buying McDonald's and instead buy canned beans... is my chili going to get more expensive because McDonald's wants 3 dollar hash browns? I'm pretty sure the answer is yes.
Pro tip, if you have access to a stove and several hours of free time to spare for cooking-- dry beans are super cheap!
Extra pro tip: put them in a bowl or pan of boiling water the night before to make them cook quicker the next day. Extra extra pro tip put bicarbonate of soda in the water to make them cook quicker.
You can also soak them in the fridge for 24 hours to rehydrate them if you want a more passive way to prep them.
It's truuuuee. I actually cooked my first pot of dry beans in a crock pot over the course of like 8 hours the other week, and it was very satisfying.
An InstantPot (or other pressure cooker) can cut that time down quite a bit. I set mine on 40 minutes, but it takes a little while to get up to temp/pressure at the start and at least 15 minutes to slow/natural release the pressure at the end.
Still, dry beans to food in about an hour is great! Also much easier to control your sodium intake, it that's a concern.
Not sure what I would do or how I made it before I got my Instant pot. Amazing little kitchen gadget.
Getting an Instant Pot was my game changer for dry beans.
They won't tho. If these people could just buy other things they would have already imo. I stopped going to McD's when their prices got to high for me. That's why they're making a big stink about it, because they still want McD's but don't want to pay so much.
I used to take my kids out to McDonald's for a quick bite - it was easy, food-allergy safe, and cheap -- but now it's the same price as the local burger place so fuck mcd
No Macdonalds is making a stink because it's now cheaper to make foods at home for their core demographic -poor people. The article says they will drop some food prices accordingly.
