The Golden Arches and the Golden Gate: How Much Does Mickey D's Cost in San Francisco?
Ah, San Francisco. City of sourdough bread, cable cars, and... astronomical rent prices. You'd think with all that cash flowing, a Big Mac wouldn't feel like a luxury burger, but fear not, budget-conscious traveler! Here's the lowdown on what your McDonald's munchies will set you back in the city by the bay.
Breaking it Down: Burger Bills by the Bay
QuickTip: Keep a notepad handy.
- The Dollar Value Dilemma: Buckle up, because buckle up you must. San Francisco McDonald's prices are generally a tad higher than the national average. We're talking maybe 50 cents to a dollar more on your favorite greasy goodness. So, your classic Cheeseburger that might cost you $1.79 back home could set you back around $2.29 in San Fran.
- Meal Deal Magic: Fortunately, McDonald's meal deals tend to offer a better value compared to buying everything separately. Expect to pay around $11-13 for a Big Mac or Double Cheeseburger meal, which includes fries and a drink.
- Pro Tip: Download the App! Not only is it convenient for mobile ordering (because who wants to wait in line?), but the McDonald's app frequently has coupons and deals that can save you a few bucks on your next McFlurry run.
