A recent study analyzed the prices of McDonald's in different states, revealing that Alaska pays the highest prices, 23.93% above the national average, due to its remote location and high cost of living. Wyoming residents, on the other hand, enjoy the lowest prices, paying 17.61% below the median. The study, which utilized GrubHub data, also found high prices in Massachusetts and Vermont, and relatively lower prices in Texas and New York. Additionally, the study found significant price variations in cities for takeout food from all the big fast-food chains, with Hattiesburg, Mississippi, offering the best value, while Anchorage, Alaska, was the most expensive.
