Inflation has caught up with McDonalds. The companies highly successful dollar menu cheeseburger has been threatened by higher costs, which have made it unprofitable to serve. As a result, the WSJ reports that the company is testing several variations of the cheeseburger to cut costs. These include "selling it with one slice of cheese instead of two, and billing it as a "double hamburger with cheese." Others are offering a double hamburger without cheese. Some are selling the traditional double cheeseburger at prices ranging from $1.09 to $1.19."
It's tough when even Mickey Dees needs to raise prices or change the ingredients in its meals.
