And costs for the nation\u2019s biggest fast-food chain have generally been <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/mcdonalds-menu-prices-surged-100-past-decade-according-study\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">skyrocketing<\/a> all across the board. But prices are often different from one McDonald\u2019s location to another, especially since many are owned and operated by franchise owners and not the corporate headquarters.<\/p>\n<p>That being the case, the cost of your Big Mac could vary wildly, even in your own area. So, customers are being tasked with strategizing their fast-food purchases in this era of Bidenflation.<\/p>\n<p>That is where the <a href=\"https:\/\/pantryandlarder.com\/mccheapest\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Pantry and Larder\u2019s McCheapest<\/a> map comes in.<\/p>\n<p>Bargain hunters logging onto the site will see a map of the U.S. and can double-click over their state to zero in on their home town where they can see all the Mickey D\u2019s locations in their area.<\/p>\n<p>Each location is color-coded, with red for the most expensive, yellow for mid-priced and green for the cheapest (gray means the site has not recorded a price).<\/p>\n<p>The cheapest Big Mac on June 5 was $3.49 in Stigler, Oklahoma. They highest-price one was $8.09 in Lee, Massachusetts.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen we first created the map, inflation and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/poll-nearly-80-percent-of-voters-say-biden-responsible-for-inflation-spike\/\" title=\"Poll: Nearly 80 Percent of Voters Say Biden Responsible for Inflation Spike\">rising food prices<\/a> were dominating the news. We wanted to create something that highlighted how much food prices varied across the country,\u201d Veronica Fletcher told <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foodandwine.com\/mcdonalds-big-mac-price-mccheapest-map-8653128\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Food &#038; Wine<\/a> magazine. Fletcher is founder and publisher of Pantry and Larder.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEveryone can relate to the price of a McDonald\u2019s,\u201d Fletcher added, \u201cand there are well over 10,000 locations in the U.S., which made the Big Mac a perfect fit. We also wanted the map to be useful. By using every McDonald\u2019s location, users can zoom into their area and check where their cheapest Big Mac is.\u201d<\/p>\n<div id=\"firefly-poll-container\">\n<p>Is McDonald&#8217;s a regular treat for you and your family?<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>The only drawback is that the prices on the map are not exactly up to date. Fletcher noted that they are currently working on an update, but that the prices are still relatively useful to show where each McDonald\u2019s location prices in compared to the others nearby.<\/p>\n<p>Fletcher went on to say that tracking the price of Big Macs is the perfect way to reflect the fast-food industry.<\/p>\n<p>She explained that people love fast food for a number of reasons, but also because \u201cit\u2019s this value for money that keeps <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/gov-andrew-cuomo-pleads-with-citizens-to-return-to-new-york-city\/\" title=\"Gov. Andrew Cuomo Pleads With Citizens To Return To New York City\">people coming back<\/a> to fast food burgers. I also think lots of people have a nostalgic connection to burgers and remember when they used to cost half the price they do today.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Pantry and Larder created a similar <a href=\"https:\/\/pantryandlarder.com\/eggspensive\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">interactive map<\/a> to compare the price of eggs across the country.<\/p>\n<p>Along with the customer ire over the $18 Big Mac prices, some customers were also irked at McDonald\u2019s for its recently announced <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/mcdonalds-customers-left-frustrated-new-5-deal-comes-major-catch\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">$5 meal deal<\/a> plan when they discovered that it was only for a limited time and at a limited number of locations.<\/p>\n<p>Even more customers <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/mcdonalds-25-deal-angers-customers-shows-damage-californias-20-minimum-wage-fast-food-industry\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">questioned the chain<\/a> after it floated a McNugget meal deal costing a whopping $25 that included a 40-piece box of Chicken McNuggets, with two large fries, but no drinks.<\/p>\n<p>The news over the skyrocketing prices led <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/mcdonalds-makes-big-change-costs-rise-will-remove-popular-free-option-meals\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">McDonald\u2019s<\/a> CEO Chris Kempczinski to promise that the company would turn its attention back to \u201caffordability,\u201d the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/yourmoney\/article-13422267\/McDonalds-fans-left-fuming-new-5-deal-comes-major-catch-despite-fast-food-chains-billions-profits.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Daily Mail<\/a> reported.<\/p>\n<p>The CEO\u2019s remarks also came on the heels of reports that foot traffic in America\u2019s fast-food joints decreased by 3.5 percent between January and March since last year, according to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wsj.com\/business\/hospitality\/mcdonalds-value-meal-fast-food-7444a704\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Wall Street Journal<\/a>. It is a statistic that shows that many Americans are beginning to put tough limits on the number of times they eat out.<\/p>\n<p>McDonald\u2019s, though, is only one of the many fast-food places raising prices as costs and inflation buffet them. To name only a few, Burger King, Chipotle and In-N-Out have also <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/burger-king-n-others-raise-prices-significantly-2-days-californias-20-minimum-wage-kicks\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">raised prices <\/a>to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/15-minimum-wage-picking-up-steam-in-these-23-states\/\" title=\" Minimum Wage Picking Up Steam in These 23 States\">offset higher labor costs<\/a>, which inevitably get passed down to customers.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<div>\n<p><b><i>A Note from Our Deputy Managing Editor:<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<p><i><span>\u201cWe don\u2019t even know if an election will be held in 2024.\u201d Those 12 words have been stuck in my head since I first read them. <\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><i><span>Former Lt.
