Earlier this week it was announced that the price of the classic McDonald’s 99p cheeseburger would see a price hike for the first time in 14 years. McDonald's Chief Executive Office Alistair Macrow confirmed the price increase, which saw the save menu item rise to £1.19.
It just goes to show that no-one is immune to the pressure of rising costs of living and soaring inflation rates - not even fast food giants like McDonald’s.
However, meal kit comparison site Meal Delivery Experts have worked out a way that you can make your own McDonald’s style cheeseburger for less than the original 99p price, meaning you won’t necessarily need to hit the Drive-Thru for your favourite convenient snack.
