Thanksgiving 2016: McDonald's Sundae and Bojangle's Turkey

The vanilla ice cream turned pastel blue at a Huntersville, NC McDonald's for those enchanted by the "Frozen" movie.  I could not help myself except to add extra hot fudge, whipped cream, and a cherry!  I had a guilty pleasure for the Holiday 2016!

Anna, Elsa and Olaf even scheduled a visit!

Bojangles Deep Fried Turkey came frozen.  I defrosted for a day and a half in the refrigerator.  The turkey was over ten pounds.  It took about 1.5 hours to cook, but it was tender, seasoned, and Delicious!!!  2016 Cost: $42.95 USD plus tax.  It was worth it!!!

Under Two Dollars Ice Cream Sundae

An Ice Cream Sundae with  Extra Fudge and whipped cream and a cherry.

Yes, at McDonald's!  Under $2.00 USD. I'm loving it!!!!!

$1.94 at this particular McDonald's restaurant.  Prices may vary based on location.

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.
