McDonald’s restaurants in SoCal to raise price Monday on $1 Double Cheeseburger
November 25th, 2008, 9:35 pm · 19 Comments · posted by Nancy Luna, Staff Writer
Updated 8:20 a.m. Wednesday to include comment from McDonald’s about SoCal
Starting Monday, McDonald’s franchisees will have the option to raise the price of its double cheeseburger to $1.19, including those in Orange and Los Angeles counties, company spokeswoman Danya Proud said.
It will also be replaced by a dollar cheeseburger dubbed the McDouble that has only one slice of cheese.
McDonald's Double Cheeseburger
Here’s a statement I got early this morning (Wednesday) from McDonald’s Vice President of Marketing Greg Watson:
“Beginning December 1, we will add the new McDouble burger, made with two all-beef patties and one slice of cheese, to our popular Dollar Menu. The Double Cheeseburger will still be available on our menu, and will still be offered at a great value. We want our customers to know they can depend on McDonald’s to provide the everyday value and convenience they’ve come to
expect, every time they visit our restaurants. These changes will ensure we continue to satisfy our customers’ tastes and wallets.”
The news should not be shocking. McDonald’s officials have previously said that it plans to replace the dollar Double Cheeseburger with a new sandwich dubbed the McDouble. Read my previous McDouble/Double Cheeseburger report here.
In the meantime, I just saw a Burger King commercial announcing the return of the Whopper Jr. to the chain’s dollar menu. How’s that for good timing?

who cares…
OK Obama, The Great One.
Lets see you fix the $1.00 Cheeseburger price.
Gosh, this is horrible. Way to ruin the dollar menu McDonalds.
The McChicken will still be $1.00!
WE MUST REVOLT!
See what happens when the Chosen One is elected. Oh, the tragedy of it all! The humanity, the humanity. (But, the cows are happy)
This is so McStupid!
Figures … the best deal on their menu and they jack up the price …
screw the double cheeseburger.
they need to make the southern chicken samich and the chicken biscuit a dollar.
I only eat one slice of cheeze anyway. if you want 2 slices then order the $1.19 double cheeze
southern chicken sandwich is great and fairly priced, I think you would be hard pressed to get that at chick-fil-a for $1!!!!
“Figures … the best deal on their menu and they jack up the price …”
it’s been the same price for like 15 years… I think you should be able to scramble for an extra 19c in your couch if you really try. if not, then order the mcdouble!
Does a slice of cheez really caust $0.19? And why is it on the Fish-Ofilet we only get a half slice of cheez?
The double cheeseburger is my favorite !
Thank you McDoualds >>>>>>>>>>>>>
What the hell! They raised all the prices. Last week the hot fudge sundae was $1.00 now it’s $2.00! I went to Mcdonalds today for 3 Sundaes and normally it would be $3.00 and they were going to charge me $6.37! I just walked out. I’m not going to pay that much for half a cup of ice cream.
P.S no one is going to waste their money at Mcdonald’s if they keep raising their prices!
So I tried the McDouble a few weeks ago and it was just the same as the Double cheezeburger! It tasted slightly different but overall this whole thing is a big joke. I drive up and the lady tells me the double cheeseburger cost 1.19 but the McDouble costs .99! I guess I could have just sprung the .36 for two double cheese but,hey once a cheapskate always a cheapskate!!
hey i have an idea
lets make our own food
Bring back mozzarella sticks!
What a Krok!
