COLI Hamburger Index: McDonald’s Quarter Pounder Price Shift

Check out the burger price analysis from C2ER’s Cost of Living Index Quarter 2, 2023 publication. Discover how this seemingly simple fast food item can impact your household expenses, with prices seeing a notable 6% surge from last year.

Regional disparities are unveiled, with tourist hubs like Billings, MT and Bozeman, MT selling Quarter Pounders at higher prices than coastal cities like Sacramento, CA and Boston, MA. Could this be attributed to the pull of popular attractions? For more intriguing insights on consumer trends and participation in COLI data collection, head to coli.org.
