McDonald's Corp. will start offering breakfast for a buck with the launch of a national dollar menu in January.

The breakfast dollar menu will be backed with advertising across the U.S., and will feature five items: two sausage sandwiches, a sausage burrito, a 12-ounce coffee and a hash brown. The menu may feature some variations based on markets.

In another addition to McDonald's value offerings, the chain will start selling its Mac Snack Wrap, a wrap version of its popular Big Mac sandwich, later this month for a suggested price of $1.49.

THIS is why the left really HATES McDonald’s...

They do what the statist utopia of the left could NEVER do -
feed BILLIONS on the cheap.

IIRC, Mickey D’s breakfast revenues have fallen off the table.

Local franchisees are already pitching a fit and I’ve read some have file suit over the dollar menu. They say they’re losing money. I don’t doubt it. This thing is only designed to bring folks through the door in hopes they’ll spend more.

Well, knowing McDonald's, they'll just pick it up, dust it off, and serve it again ...

All the McDonald's in my area are filthy. The last one I bought food at (didn't eat it), it was about 3 pm on a Sunday afternoon. We were the only four people inside, and there wasn't one clean table. The fryer guy hadn't washed his shirt in at least four shifts. They had a "Free Cappuccino" poster up, but told me they hadn't "had time" to clean the machine, so it wasn't available. On the french fries, instead of making them fresh, they used the ones in the bin that were about an hour old. There weren't enough fries to make an order, so he started scraping behind the warming tray to get the ones that had fallen out.

A good McDonalds has great coffee, fries, and passable other food. Unfortunately, all the local McDonalds are owned by the same outfit, and ALL of them are filthy. They opened a new one last summer, and I walked into it about a week after it opened. It was already filthy. I don't know how you get two years of grease into a restaurant in a week, but they did it.

I’ve owned MCD now for a couple of years. Not much movement up or down. I do not understand why they would serve this much food for one buck. If I lived near a MCDs I would never cook breakfast.

Well said.

Like a modern American grocery store, what McDonalds is able to accomplish is nothing less than a modern miracle.

And it is so unhip to actually enjoy McDonalds.
