The loss of bargain-seeking customers like Hiner underscores a growing challenge for McDonald's Corp.: While the company still offers several items for $1, its menu is quietly getting more expensive. McDonald's said its prices were up about 3 percent through the end of June compared with 12 months earlier. That's more than the 2.5 percent gain in prices for food Americans purchased away from their homes in the year through August, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

"There's no other option but to raise prices when commodities and labor are going up," said Peter Saleh, a New York-based analyst at Telsey Advisory Group. "You can't sell a lot of items for a $1 anymore and make any money."
