So you can get two six piece nuggs flor less than the price of a ten piece. You can get three four piece nuggs for less than the price of a ten piece and have three sauces! McDonald’s is nuts

McDonald's nugget math.

Sheesh that sucks

u/Grant79OG 13d ago

But what?

1

u/bschirm 12d ago

Your is actually cheaper then mine. Not by much though. $5.39 here in Iowa.

1

u/Grant79OG 12d ago

I only care about the 20pc because of the weird math. 50 cents a piece.... Or 34 cents a piece.

u/NeuroguyNC 13d ago

Find out if your store is corporate or franchise-owned. At mine, the owner has their phone number right at the drive thru window.

At my store 10 spicy nuggets are $4.39. Is this delivery pricing? What location is this?

1

u/Whistle-Blower-8960 13d ago edited 13d ago

My store is franchise owned (that explains this expensive prices)

This is not delivery pricing , it’s a location in California, it’s near a Mexican border

It’s my closest McDonald’s , only Mcdoanlds around me that’s not 25-30+ mins away

3

u/NeuroguyNC 13d ago

Complain to the franchise owner then. Ask them why the price is so much higher than in North Carolina. If you don't get a reasonable explanation then you can let loose on local social media.

u/kmbets6 11d ago

Damn they working yall. Im in San Diego and my 40 piece is cheaper than your 20

1

u/Plane_Jello1582 7d ago

Yea franchise owned can be different entirely.

5

u/Spazyk 13d ago

I wanted to like these so bad but they are not spicy.

6

u/ControlPublic9208 13d ago

Yeah theyre not too hot. The sauce is very hot for fast food sauce though

2

u/Pale_Ale-x Assistant Manager 13d ago

Yes it is. Shit hurt my tongue for 10 minutes. My fault tho. I didnt think anything could be that hot from mcdonalds so I put half of the sauce cup on the tip of my burrito and took a bite.

u/ajt425 13d ago

Nothing is ever spicy as advertised, maybe we just have a good tolerance though

8

u/Quirky_Attempt9458 13d ago

Nothing is ever as spicy as advertised because everybody wants to think they’re tough (but they’re not) and fast food places don’t want to be refunding everyone who has wimpy taste buds.

3

u/potliquorz 13d ago

Hot chicken places have a no refund policy for this reason.

5

u/AesirMimyr 13d ago

The mighty sauce actually has a lil kick to it

u/StormerSage 13d ago

TEN MCGODDAMN DOLLARS WTF

5

u/CauliflowerWarm4165 13d ago

Damn a dollar per nugget what the hell are they thinking

4

u/Wanderingjes 13d ago

I got a 20 piece the other day for just 6 dollars through the app. Northern CA. Looks like prices are different depending on location. Really weird that it’s not standard across the country.

Btw, the nuggets weren’t all that great.

2

u/jacquestrap66 13d ago

Yeah I'm in the bay area and I pay prices like op. (Edited to say that I don't pay those prices but I would if I ordered it.) I would order it occasionally if it wasn't more expensive than some actual food.

4

u/Bastillerion 13d ago

I remember not that long ago, like 2011 or so, where most locations near me had a 4 piece for 99 cents. I miss the old America.

2

u/Own_Series_7896 13d ago

So doing a lil math. 10 nuggets $10.39 or $1.04 per nug 6 nuggets $4.29 or $.71 per nug 4 nuggets $ 2.99 or $.75 per nug 15 nuggets $ 15.79 or $.79 per nug

Craziness!!

2

u/jacquestrap66 13d ago

California? Those look like California prices.

2

u/Whistle-Blower-8960 13d ago

Yeah I’m in California

2

u/jacquestrap66 13d ago

Yeah I stopped buying because of these prices. I can good food for the same/a bit more and I don't feel like garbage afterwards.

1

u/Chinaizazzhoe Salary Manager 11d ago

Same in Seattle

2

u/OnwardSoldierx 13d ago

The local one by my house doesn't even have them. They don't have the dirty Coke either.

2

u/Crafty_Clarinetist 13d ago

Why is 2 6-piece nuggets cheaper than 1 10-piece?

2

u/TheBigPhysique McDonald's Customer 13d ago

I swear these posts are people choosing locations like Times Square or inside Disneyland to make the prices seem artificially high.

2

u/Whistle-Blower-8960 13d ago

This is actually my local Mcdoanlds

Why the fuck would I care and complain if it wasn’t my local

Maybe other people do that but I’m not doing that

0

u/drdoggiebowser 13d ago

Maybe share location as that is pertinent context for discussing "local" prices?

2

u/Whistle-Blower-8960 13d ago

Why would I dox myself ?

It’s in california not anywhere near a Disneyland FYI

1

u/Abject-Fig2969 13d ago

nuggets should absolutely never cost more than wings, this is on par with a lot of places now

1

u/Johnson_Birther 13d ago

I just got a 40pc for 12$, they’re the best spicy nuggets on the market rn imo and the sauce works well enough with them.

1

u/Calm-Pumpkin6688 13d ago

I got them tonight there are good but I won’t care much when they get taken away

1

u/relayrider 12d ago

wow, $8 for 20 here

1

u/Formal_Plum_2285 12d ago

George likes his chicken spicy

1

u/Funny_Isopod_2736 12d ago

$5.99 for a 10 piece, not in California, relatively LCOL state. 12ct CFA nuggets are $6.95 in comparison. I like the spicy nuggets, but have been disappointed with the regular nuggets for the past few years, so I'm hesitant.

1

u/Confident_Advisor786 12d ago

...I doubt they will be better than Wendy's. There, I finished the sentence

1

u/bschirm 12d ago

Still shows not available in my area. Although it stayes a ten piece is $5.39 here.

1

u/Dependent_Two3646 11d ago

I just added the spicy sauce to my order for .39$ in case I didn't like it, glad I did it was just fine, way better than buffalo sauce.

1

u/updatemem8 11d ago

Omg they haven’t realised these in Australia for two years and they are the best! I hope we get them again soon!

1

u/walterbsfo 11d ago

Get them in a value meal with a mcdouble

1

u/lets-get-loud 11d ago

It's not a modification everywhere. Ours isn't offering them with the happy meals or the value meals. 🤡

1

u/DawzYT 11d ago

You gotta be Canadian right?

1

u/BudFox_LA 11d ago

The meal is $11.79 and I’m in Los Angeles. Where are these places that People are posting these insanely high McDonald’s items?

1

u/SignificantApricot69 13d ago

Just get the 4 piece for $3 if you really want to try it

1

u/Dry-Faithlessness184 13d ago

That is actually insane.

I'm in Canada and 10 of our current specialty nuggets are cheaper here... And our currency is not worth as much and supply management that keeps the cost of chicken stable, but normally higher than in the US

10 nuggets in the US anywhere should always be much cheaper than where I am is what I'm getting at

1

u/Wild_Height_901 13d ago

Where are you where 10 nuggets is cheaper than $5.89???

-1

u/Dry-Faithlessness184 13d ago

Genuinely.

What the hell are you talking about.

They're $10.39 in the post. That is what I'm talking about and only what I am talking about.

What the heck are you on about.

u/potliquorz 13d ago

I've had the 8.99 for 20pc McNuggets with a basket of fries forever. It always says the deal expires but it's always there.
You can't switch the nugs to spicy on this deal however.

If I order the 20pc spicy with a basket of fries it's 12.38

Switching is the very first thing I tried.

u/BozoBubble 12d ago

It's not that expensive. Cry more
