Big Mac Prices Around Rockford Are Surprisingly Different

An interactive website called McCheapest compares Big Mac prices at more than 10,000 different McDonald's locations nationwide.

The map is designed to help users find the least and most expensive McDonald's in their area using its most popular sandwich, because if the Big Mac is expensive, there's a very good chance everything else is, too.

The Interactive Map Tracking Big Mac Prices Nationwide

Obviously, I had to see just how much the priciest Big Mac is in Rockford, and to be honest, I was kind of impressed. For the most part, besides a dime more here or there, the sandwich is pretty appropriately priced.

However, one McDonald's stood out as the cheapest, and it's at 6000 North 2nd Street in Loves Park. There, a Big Mac will run you $4.49, according to recent data.

Where to Find the Most Expensive Big Mac in the Rockford Area

If you're hunting for the most expensive one in the Rockford area, head to Belvidere and check out the McDonald's at 5111 Pearl Street, where a Big Mac costs $6.00. I think I can see why it's a bit pricier, considering this restaurant is at the Belvidere Oasis.

Some of us drive a few extra minutes for cheaper gas. Apparently, this map says it's worth doing the same for lunch.

Some disappeared overnight with no explanation, others were cut to streamline operations, and a few became cultural phenomena long after they were gone.
