Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed.
All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body.
If you are citing a Twitter post as news, please include not just the twitter.com URL but also Xcancel.com (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance, such as Libredirect or archive them as you would any other reactionary source (archive.today, web.archive.org, ghostarchive.org). Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed.
Mass-tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken Markov chain bot will result in a comm ban.
Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.
Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned.
Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society.

let's see a chart of the prices of various mcdonalds items over the past 5-10 years. fast food inflation has gotten totally out of control. not that anyone should be eating that slop anyways
Someone at work offered me the hashbrown from their combo breakfast the other day, I ate it because I couldn’t stand seeing 4 dollars worth of fried taters thrown out. Have they always been so oily?
They have always been that oily but they definitely haven't always been four dollars
In my local area it’s 4 dollars for a lone hashbrown, I think where my folks live it’s closer to 2 something
I just bought a pack of frozen hash browns from the grocery store and it was $4 for 10 of them. much better than mcdonalds ones and not greasy
granted I had to endure the laborious task of heating them up for 15 whole minutes in the air fryer
the frozen hashbrowns you get at kroger and walmart are, as far as i've heard, exactly the same supplier mcdonald's uses. so yeah. i buy those myself and put them in the air fryer. i would say it's on par with the mcdonald's hashbrowns (and better due to less oil like you said) tho i do consider mcd's hashbrowns to be nummy but not worth what they're asking.
Yes. They are deep fried in oil.
It's absurdly expensive for how shit it is. You can pay marginally more to get food that is way, way better.
Make sure to include wages at McDonald's and see how little those have grown over time
