The Fairfield County breakfast order, which was shared by Bespoke Investment Group on X, was placed on Saturday, Jan. 27 just off of I-95 in the town of Fairfield, according to the posted picture of the receipt.
“What has the world come to??” the user asked, showing that the receipt included two Egg McMuffins, costing a total of $14.58 — or $7.29 each — and a bacon, egg, and cheese McGriddle for another $7.19.
“Outrageous pricing,” Bespoke wrote.
Others agreed. The post got over 1,000 likes and 1.9 million views. One user wrote that a carton of eggs and a package of bacon would cost less; another claimed that the once-cheap fast food spot now had “filet mignon pricing!”
Yet another dubbed the high prices as “McFlation.”
