How much is a slice of cheese worth to you?

McDonald’s says it’s worth nineteen cents. That’s why if you stop by your neighborhood Mickie-D’s today, you’ll notice that they’ve removed  the double cheeseburger from their $1 value menu. A double cheeseburger will now run you $1.19.

Have no fear! You can still get your fill with the replacement McDouble. It’s got two burger patties and one slice (instead of two on the double cheeseburger) of cheese for just $1.

Not enough cheese, you say? Go crazy and upgrade to the double cheeseburger for less than two dimes!

This is what my boyfriend would call a “recession lunch.”
