Hubby’s Go To Quick and Cheap Lunch – McDonald’s #DollarMenu

12 Flares 12 Flares ×

McDouble My husband doesn’t always have time to come home and eat lunch with us and he is notorious about leaving his lunch in the fridge. But he is under a strict budget of how much he can spend for the month on lunches while he is at work. Which isn’t much. So he utilizes the McDonald’s Dollar menu to grab a full meal quick!

His #1 go to item on the Dollar Menu is the McDouble. Two 100% beef patties simply seasoned with a pinch of salt and pepper, a slice of melty American cheese and topped with tangy pickles, minced onions, ketchup and mustard. Before I was on my diet this was my go to snag as well. I scrounge up all the change in my car to feed my burger cravings.

There are 8 items on the Dollar Menu:

  • Grilled Onion Cheddar Burger
  • McDouble
  • McChicken
  • Side Salad
  • Fruit ‘N Yogurt Parfait
  • Sweet Tea
  • Vanilla cone
  • Chocolate Chip Cookies

Gotta love choices. About as much as I love saving money!  Blogger Badge
