over $20.00 not under $5.00 like in 1975:lol:

JJ and his girl was able to go to the movies, get something from the concession stand and go to Mcdonald's all for $5.25

Ouch. Today, the same fun JJ had for around $5.00 would run like $80.00 today. A Big Mac meal complete with Big Mac, Medium Fries, and Medium Coke alone would run like $8.00 including tax. So, for 2 people, $16.00 right there. Then, the movies alone in IMAX is like $17.00 just for the movie tickets alone, so 2 people equals $34.00 just for the movies., so far, you have just spent roughly $50.00. If you both get large Popcorns and large drinks, that could run you each up roughly $15.00, so, $30.00 just for snacks. $80.00 for what JJ did for roughly $5.00. So much inflation in 2015....:eek:

I think Two Big Macs and fries is about $23 with tax. lol Because when I get a Quarter Pounder and fries and a soda that is over $10. So I know two Big Macs is over $20

Here's a better idea. Order off of McDonald's Value menu!:D You can get a Value burger, value fries, value drink, and a sundae for roughly $5.00, including tax!:D For two people, that's only roughly $10.00! :D As for the movies, you can buy a AMC stubs card for $12.00, and you get about $1.00 off movie tickets, so two IMAX tickets would be $16.00 each. With the card, medium popcorn and soda is automatically upgraded to Large for free. A medium drink and large popcorn or roughly $13.00, each customer, ($26.00 together)but you can get a courtesy cupfrom the food court and split the soda and you can share the Large poppopcorn. Plus, with large popcorn and large soda, you get one free refill, so you guys both get the equivalent of a large popcorn each(two large popcorn split). You just spent roughly $66.00, with a $14.00 savings over Alex's $80.00! :D

That is probably true...the movies would be $20 more.

JJ now would have his girl just have a sandwich and chips all spent on food stamps and watch a film on TV.

That's how I'd have dates...that's why I'm never on any.ohno:ohno:ohno:

Wow thats expensive 2 Big Macs and 2 orders of fries here would only run $13-$14.

Don't see how when a Quarter Pounder and Fries is close to $10

I just got a double QP, large fries, large Coke for $8, and that's in Northern Virginia, which is pretty expensive.


Yup sounds about right and the same here in philly

Don't see how when a Quarter Pounder and Fries is close to $10

Wow, that would be the price maybe at an airport or something and I thought everything was more expensive in California.

It maybe because I live in a IVY LEAGUE SCHOOL area

Now days the girl could bring a big purse and they could sneak in microwave popcorn and sodas to the movies and save some money! LOL!!

I had a coupon once where you could get 2 original chicken sandwiches and 2 fries at Burger King for $5. But I haven't used it because I don't like Burger King anymore.

Fast food can still be cheap, just have to pick the right things on the menu.

Burger King and Wendy's has always been cheaper than Mcdonald's

The only fast food I can tolerate is Nathan's. The thought of McDonald's, Burger King or Wendy's makes me sick. The worst is probably Taco Bell. GROSS!!!

I love Taco Bell and heard they deliver now in California:lol:

The only take out delivery food I'd ever order is pizza or Chinese food. California has good pizza and Chinese, but New York is the best. New Jersey is also pretty good.
I wouldn't eat Taco Bell unless I was dying of starvation and totally desperate. :lol:

No I order all that. Lol. I just get double quarter pounder and fries with a drink. I'm just saying that if JJ and his girl got the same thing in 2015 it would be over $20

Where do some of you guys live? Last time I got a Big Mac meal, I think I spent $6. You can still get a meal for under $5, if you use the Dollar Menu. Not the healthiest meal, but it is at least cheap lol.

Wish we had Whataburger around here. I think that's the only fast food spot I really crave, other than Chick-Fil-A, if that counts as FF.

I live in a college area of philadelphia

Less than a week ago, my dad got a big mac that was about $4.00. Maybe prices are higher here in New York?

That's why I'll never move away from Texas; I like having a Whataburger nearby. Other states have them, but they're not as common.

I never heard of "Whataburger" until just now. Is their food any good?

Their breakfasts are even better than their hamburgers.

I've actually never had their breakfast, but whenever I visit my family in Dallas, that's the first place I stop after leaving the airport.

I would try the root beer shake. I love root beer. That's all I would try from this place. I don't like fast food too much.

JJ went on a lot of dates. Where did he get the money since he was poor?

I even had several dates here, 1976-77 with just about exactly the same system... eat at McDonald's, then stroll across the parking lot to the Plaza Theater for a movie, and all for just a few bucks.
