Recently, Bespoke Investment Group took to social media to share a shocking receipt from a McDonald's in Fairfield, Connecticut. The receipt, dated Saturday, displayed a hefty price tag of $7.29 for just one Egg McMuffin. This unexpected price caused quite the uproar among social media users.
Bespoke Investment Group's post on X included a picture of the receipt, along with a caption expressing their disbelief. "What has the world come to? $7.29 for one McDonald's Egg McMuffin," they wrote. In a separate post, they also pointed out that the same item was priced at 2 for $2 not too long ago. But that's not all - the receipt also showed a bacon, egg, and cheese McGriddle for $7.19, and a single order of hash browns for $5.69.
Curious about the prices at this particular McDonald's, Bespoke did some further research and found that an Egg McMuffin, hash browns, and small coffee meal cost a whopping $17.63 on the restaurant's Uber Eats page. And if customers want to upgrade or add items like a fresh-cracked 'round egg', bacon, or a larger coffee, they could end up paying up to an additional $3.
As of Wednesday evening, Bespoke's post had been viewed over 1.9 million times, showcasing just how shocking this receipt was to many people. It's clear that this particular McDonald's is charging much more than what is typically expected for a fast food breakfast item.
