According to the&nbsp;<em>New York Post<\/em>, McDonald\u2019s attributed that gargantuan number, which was initially predicted to be $6.58 billion, to \u201cstrategic menu price increases.\u201d The company\u2019s net income increased to $2.3 billion, up from $1.98 billion in the same three months last year, which was also attributed to price hikes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/11\/04\/20\/77407299-12710909-image-m-18_1699130025953.jpg\" alt=\"Customers voiced their anger in the comments under Olive's post, expressing their disappointment that the burger giant is no longer convenient or affordable for many\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Just how much have menu prices increased?

And now, they\u2019re venting about McDonald\u2019s prices in general.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Earlier this month, a user on&nbsp;Reddit&nbsp;posed the question: \u201cWhat is no longer worth it because of how expensive it has become?\u201d As you can likely guess, one of the top answers was fast food.
