There is no Dollar Menu in Anchorage, AK



Yes, it's true. There is no dollar menu at MacDonalds in Anchorage Alaska.
Most items on the dollar menu are $1.50.
That might not seem like a big deal, but here is a little break down.

Lower 48.

MacDouble (the burger)
small fries
small drink
Total: $3.00

in Alaska the same 3 items together run for $4.50.
The bill increases by 33%.

MacDonalds locations are everywhere in Anchorage. It is by far the most commonly found restaurant. Burger King and Wendy's are hard to track down.

Some of my favorite cheap combinations at MacDonalds.

*Most Basic
1 MacDouble + 1 Small Fries = $3.00

Apple Dippers + 1 Apple Pie = $1.50

1 Black Coffee + 2 Apple Pies = $2.50

Other tips at MacDonalds go for any fast food restaurant.

***If you can get free refills, never get any size other than the smallest. You can get just as much for the cheaper price...only exception would be if say you really wanted to make a meal a LARGE meal.

These days I take that one to a different level.
When I go for value meal food, I don't order drinks. I can just bring my water bottle into MacDonalds, and it doesn't seem to be a problem.

A $4.50 lunch just became a $3.00 lunch. It's a 33% savings.

WIFI? YES

MacDonalds is one of my favorite companies in any industry, for they have made some smart business decisions. One of the best ones is including wifi in their locations. I almost always pick MacDonalds over other fast food restaurants solely for the internet. However, they are getting rid of plugs fast.

NOTE: The Wal-Mart on Old Seward Highway has a MacDonalds without Wifi....Repeat. The Wal-Mart at the Dimond Center has no wifi.

However, there is a MacDonalds right across the street (literally) with wifi. As I said, MacDonalds is the most commonly found restaurant in Anchorage.
