fair enough, my bad then. anyways, like mentioned in this thread, mcd's raises their prices more often and by a larger margin than timmies. example, filet o fish used to be $2.69 for the sandwich alone, today (when on regular price) it's $3.99. fries and coke have also steadily increased.

On occasion I like the taste of it. I don't drink it every day, but some days where I have early morning classes a nice cup of joe really wakes me up. Posted via RS Mobile |

Along with the change in the cup sizes the price i guess have adjusted accordingly. The large french vanilla use to cost 2.15 with the old cup sizes now it costs 2.45 with the larger size. not gonna complain cause this cup is huge..lol

The quality of Tim Horton's coffee and baked goods began declining and prices began steadily rising nearly a decade ago. Today: the quality of McDonald's coffee is better for a comparable price and the quality of Starbucks is on another level for a little higher price. And, Starbucks doesn't strive to give its jobs all to temporary workers, which I appreciate and is apparent in the service. So, I've switched to Starbucks for my morning coffee.
