First, let me say that eating out, even fast food, was a "special treat" in the 60s. We rarely had meals away from home and McDonald's was affordable. I recall that my mom, sister and I went to McDonald's for a meal. Each of us had a hamburger, French fries and a soft drink. Cost: 90 cents. Hamburgers were 15 cents, French fries were 10 cents and a drink was 5 cents. An ice cream cone was 5 cents a scoop. Those were the days.
Nowadays, we don't eat at McDonald's much. However, four subs at Subway for our family is about $40+. Sheesh!
Unfortunately, fast food is neither cheap or fast right now. We chose to spend a little more and eat at sit down made to order meals.
