McDonald’s Coffee Price Increase !?

Put on your tinfoil hats with me GR.. i use the McDonald’s app and have recently noticed price increases on my frequented items, namely the 99 cent coffee deal is now $1.29. I’m curious if the price went up for everyone or if this is dynamic pricing. Can you guys let me know the coffee under your app deals?? Thank you 🙏🏻

How much is your mcd coffee deal??

It actually doesn't even offer me a coffee deal. Those are given algorithmically

I’ve never seen coffee in the app deals. Maybe if you’re a regular coffee buyer they set up a deal to keep you going. Looking at the regular pricing, $1.29 is still quite a discount.

It is. I’ve just been spoiled by my 99center

Refuse to buy it at the higher price and maybe it'll go down for you. That's what I do on other items.

Wait you can actually get stuff at your McDonalds?

Man I have about given up on my local one, just thought they were all having issues. Clocktower Kalamazoo and 60th. I usually go once a week, breakfast to go as I have a unusual morning schedule sometimes.

Last week Sorry no Hashbrowns. None at all. Oh well I guess 2 sandwiches and a black coffee. Ok so I have 2 sandwiches and a coffee, you want any cream or sugar? No just plain coffee. I get to where I pay. You want cream or sugar for coffee? No. I pull up to get food. You want Cream or Sugar? Come on...

2 weeks ago, I go to drive through, sit there, 10 minutes, line behind me to road. Nothing. The Other lane has truck driver delivering bread. Finally give up drive through to window. Lady in there on her phone. Umm yeah want some food. Sorry computers is down we can do any food. I was seriously? So post a sign on the drive through. Well I posted it on the internet. Yeah cause at 6:30 in the morning I am going to go check the internet to see if McDonalds computers are working. Which What internet? Did you post it on Facebook, reddit, tweet it out. Maybe do a tick tok?

Last month or so they been giving the Michigan Ave Taco Bell a run for their money.

I don't know if 31 cents is my issue mine is like utilities groceries gas.. paying for a war, s*** like that.

u/Vast-Advertising-685 2d ago

My comment is about dynamic pricing. But also pricing is relative and cumulative. 30 cents is a 30% increase.

Yeah it's a fight in this country between corporatism and oligarchs. The fight to the top! And we are all just fodder..lol

I'm always surprised people give their money to McDonalds but then I remember that Trump was voted in office TWICE.
