These were two for $2 pretty recently.

On January 27, 2024, it was paid at McDonald’s in Fairfield, near exits 21 and 22 on Interstate 95, at 7:29 a.m.

Several users accused Bespoke of making several rookie mistakes, including buying at a rest stop, in their comments on the post, which has received more than 1.8 million views. Another stated that the prices at the Fairfield restaurant are indeed outrageous, agreeing with Bespoke.

In a rest area on I-95, there should be a higher price, but it’s way too high,” wrote another. In a Connecticut rest area, he paid $19.00 for a Big Mac, fries, and Coke just yesterday.

Since franchisees own and operate McDonald’s restaurants, prices can vary based on wages, rent, interest rates, car prices, gas prices, and transportation costs in each state.

In July, a Connecticut rest stop’s Big Mac combo dish and soft drink went viral on X.
