2. Don't know where you eat usually, but not many places offer you a meal for under 10$ with a beverage and side dish (fries)...
I get that, but it's Mcdonald's..... It's not meant to be an expensive meal. I'd rather spend the extra $8 on top of that and get a pound of wings and a beer and watch the game or something.
They do have the value menu. 2 Mcdoubles or 2 Jr.McChickens for $2.90 w/tax ussually does the trick for me. I ask for some BigMac sauce on the side. Sometimes they'll give it for free sometimes they'll charge $0.25, It could just be me, but close to $10 for a fast food meal of that quality is simply not worth it imo.
How is the poutine holding up in Quebec? Is it popular? I am guessing there are probably several better options
