McDonald's menu prices vary within a Five Mile Radius

 So I purchased a Daily Double Meal from McDonald's at Exit 18 and Interstate 77 as well as Exit 23 and Interstate 77.  These two McDonald's have two different ownerships.  Their operating hours are different as well, but what was mind-blowing for me was the difference in the prices.   You can save dollars at a time depending on the McDonald's restaurant you patronize.


As you can see, my meal was $3.79 plus tax at one McDonald's compared to $4.79 plus tax at a different McDonald's which was only five miles away.

For someone buying only one meal, driving five minutes farther to save a dollar plus tax may not be worth it, but let me assure you that if you are buying for four people or a family, it would be well worth the extra five minutes drive to save three or four dollars.

Obviously, McDonald's is fast food and some people do not eat fast food, but for those of us who have hectic lifestyles, McDonald's is an occassional hunger fix.

Update:  
Pictured is a receipt from the McDonald's in Matthews, NC area.  Even they are cheaper than the Huntersville, NC location.
