I just wonder if it is the same size as the old one.

What's interesting is that the price for the Big Carl at the store near Sepulveda and Ventura is $1.99 vs. $2.49 at the UCLA store, but the Valley location's price for the Big Carl combo (and most of the other combos) is 10c higher than at UCLA! The real thing to do is collect the coupons that arrive in the junk mail and the LA Times. The most recent set had twelve coupons, with a lot of useful ones like free medium fries and free medium drink with a Parmesan Chicken, upgrade any sandwich to a combo for $1, free medium fries with a Big Carl or an Original $6 burger, free small Original $6 combo with purchase of any size Original $6 combo (that one saves nearly $8), and various twofers.

I walked into a McDonald's (In Dana Point, CA) just looking for a cheap, quick, filling something-or-other. During one of Sunday's games I saw a McD's commercial for the Dollar Menu items. Uh-uh! At my McD's the $1 Double Cheeseburger was $1.19. The Carl's Jr was on the opposite side of the street and I was in a hurry, or I would have gone for the Big Carl in a flash...... at either price.
