Higher
prices in grocery stores may be translating to a sales boost for fast-food
chains like McDonald's.
The company
says sales are up more than 6%, as more and more consumers look to
get more value for their dollar when they eat.
This comes
as grocery prices have climbed some 13% in the third quarter.
McDonald's
executives pointed out that the company performed well during the last economic
downturns in 2008 and 2009, when it introduced it's "Dollar Menu" to
boost sales.
