Where the value is

Ordered by price, the McDonald's burgers & sandwiches menu splits cleanly. These three are the cheapest way onto the menu:

Hamburger — $2.49
Cheeseburger — $2.79
McChicken — $2.89. The value-menu anchor and the cheapest filling sandwich on the board.

And these carry the highest prices in the section, usually because they are sized to share or bundled with sides:

Double Quarter Pounder with Cheese — $8.39
Quarter Pounder with Cheese Deluxe — $7.19
Deluxe McCrispy — $6.79

The spread between the two ends is $5.90, so what you order inside this one section matters more than which chain you walk into.
