Cost of McDonald's Meal in the 60s

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.
