McDonald’s raising prices for its coffee
Many McDonald’s fans depend on the brand for their coffee needs. But unfortunately for them, as reported by Metro, McDonald’s is hiking up prices for it, with coffee prices have now been raised by 20p – from 99p to £1.19.
As per the report, a McDonald’s spokesperson addressed the latest price hike saying,
Although we have now made a small change to these prices, the price of black and white coffee remains below that of early 2020 – and is actually comparable to price in the majority of our restaurants in 2010.
This is not the first price hike the brand has instituted with the cost of many of their menu items having already seen a hike about a month ago.
