The Big Mac, priced at $4.39, is certainly the more expensive item on the McDonald's menu. Instead, you can order a McDouble for only $1.59 and ask for it "like a Mac." The only difference would be the missing half of a bun placed in the middle of the burger. But do you really need that for the extra $2.80?

Also, many McDonald's locations have the McDouble on the "McPick 2 for $2.50" menu which is a GREAT deal at $1.25 per McDouble.
