My wife and I share duty on cooking dinner. I cover Tuesday, Friday and the weekends. On Tuesday and Friday I am considered the favorite parent.
Although I really can't eat McDonalds four days a week. I can not pass up a buck for a Big Mac. The app so easy to use and I you get the burger cook to order.
As a teenager, I could eat 2 Big Mac and a extra large fry without gaining a pound.
They seem so small now, I probably could eat three in one sitting, without the fries.
4 Big Macs and extra large combo was my routine. Definitely unbuckled my belt after each session ;)
You are correct with the size reduction on the burgers. Since "super size me" movie most fast food places have shrink their portions to be considered more health conscious. It does not hurt their bottom line to sell less for more money either. Without the current promotion a normal Big Mac combo runs me a little over 9 bucks plus taxes. No more 4 burgers sessions for me :(
As 1 of 6 siblings, I remember one family trip where McDonald's was celebrating something, so they had burgers at $0.05 and cheesburgers at $0.10 or something close to that. So, my dad went in, my 2 older sister went in and my mom went in and they all made separate orders at the maximum allowed and brought them back to the van.
Yes I had those moments too! 39 cents for burger was another promotion. Although I did not have six sibilings but we I was little I lived near two big Ms that were about two miles apart so my family would go to both on promotional days. Guess I shouldn't feel so bad now knowing it's not just me trying to get a good bargain. Lol.
