Is the Egg McMuffin Meal worth it?

An Egg McMuffin plus a Hash Brown and a Premium Roast coffee bought separately cost about $9.98 at median prices. The meal costs $7.60, so you save around $2.38.

What's in an Egg McMuffin?

A freshly cracked Grade A egg cooked in a ring, a slice of Canadian bacon and a slice of American cheese on a toasted, buttered English muffin. The round "fresh egg" is the same one you can add to any sandwich as a side for about $2.43 — the folded egg in biscuits and McGriddles is different.
