Custom Order - Poor Man's Big Mac AKA McDouble Mac

If you're pressed for cash at McDonald's but still want some of that Big Mac flavor, you can always custom order the Poor Man's Big Mac AKA McDouble Mac. The burger is more or less a McDouble with lettuce, onions, pickles, and Mac sauce added.

The price for me was $1.29 plus a 30 cents upcharge for the lettuce, but I've read of people being charged for Mac sauce and not lettuce before so whether there is an upcharge can vary.

By basically building a Big Mac sans the middle bun with the McDouble as a base, you save around $2. But it's possible they might forget your pickles like they did on mine.

The lettuce was faily fresh and the cheese was nicely melted.

Other than the missing pickles, all the familiar tastes of a Big Mac were present. With the middle bun on vacation, the beef patties tasted meatier, but in the same fashion, the Mac sauce got a tad bit excessive. There was a lot of sauce and more of that tanginess than in a regular Big Mac.

Still, the Poor Man's Big Mac did the job in satisfying my Big Mac itch and, beyond the sauce, the end result  was pretty decent and cheap.
