I used to go to McD about once a month or so – maybe for lunch, or take the kids on a busy weekend – but, not anymore. I'm not saying anything that people don't know, but it's like $10pp in my area. Fries are almost $5. I can easily afford it, but on principle, I won't.

I've done the same thing with potato chips. Lay's are $5-6 a bag here, and the store brand are actually relabeled Herr's (and $2.50). The price increases on junk food have rendered it not-worth-it from a health perspective, and a wallet perspective.

All in all, I'm probably better for it. I say, keep raising prices.

Store brands have also gotten better in terms of quality.
