McDouble Or Microwave Cheeseburger - 3/4/2015

Hello.  This is the first post of my newest blog "The Squealing Penny".  I named it this due to an interaction I observed at work.  A printer technician told my co-worker this: "Do you why your company got to where it is today?" My co-worker said, "I don't know".  The technician said, "Your company pinched a penny so tightly, it squealed".  This was over 10 years ago.

I went into my local McDonald's for a McDouble burger and saw it was $1.39 plus tax.  I call that my "Price Out" point. That's the set price that I can no longer afford.  I can go over to the Walgreens and get a microwave cheeseburger for $1.29 and pay no tax.  The savings is $0.21.

That's all for now. Stretch that dollar like it's rubber.
