Which $5 Fast Food Combo is ACTUALLY the Best Deal?
Рет қаралды 393,926
Күн бұрынJoin me as I investigate which $5 fast food combo meal actually gives you the most bang for your buck! I test the Burger King Your Way Meal, the Taco Bell Trio and Cravings Box, and the Wendy's 4 for $4, $5 Biggie Bag, and $6 Biggie Bag - and determine which combo actually packs the most grams per dollar.

The TB cravings box is the GOAT of value meals - and you nailed it with the exact same “most food possible per dollar” strategy that I do: Crunchwrap, 5 layer burrito, potatoes. That Crunchwrap on its own by itself is $5 on the menu - so basically everything else in the meal is *free.* Pair it with the rewards points for ordering on the app and you can easily score free nachos bellgrande’s every once in a while to make a hell of a feast for a couple bucks.

Taco Bell's $5 cravings box is a great deal. I calculated it would cost over $13 at menu prices if you picked the most expensive items. McDonald's usually has a 20 nuggets and 2 large fries deal on their app which is about $5.70 in my area and would cost double that at menu prices. I think the Little Caesars large pepperoni pizza for $5.99 is still one of the best values and you could easily share that with someone else. Subway always has a BOGO coupon code that many people don't know about and you can get two footlongs for less than $8 using that.
@949brock Жыл бұрын
subway hack use the BOGO coupon and make the first footlong how you like and the second a spicy italian with no veg, veg goes bad in the fridge. then tomorrow at lunch you throw that puppy in a microwave and boom hot italian sando
@ohainickify Жыл бұрын
It amazes me how people don’t use food apps/order online …it’s 2023 - I literally have almost every fast food app in my area.. the deals on them alone are worth it. Fun fact: Little Caesar’s does a “Make It A Meal” deal when you order the Italian Cheese Bread ($5) + 2 liter of soda ($2.99) automatically when you go to checkout - it goes to $6 even. Pair that with a couple hot n readys and it’s a steal!

Wendy’s has been my choice for a quick a cheap filling meal, I found the best value you get is when ordering for 2 or more and taking advantage of the online/app promos. I usually pickup two 5 dollar biggie bags and upgrade to a large drink and fries each are then like 7 or so dollars making me eligible for their 3 dollars off promo so in the end I pay 12 bucks for everything. Sad that fast food has gotten so expensive that a small family can easily spend 50 or more dollars on what should realistically be a 30 dollar meal, so I’m hopeful that more places implement these value oriented deals.

Where I am, the only fast food restaurant that regularly offers a value meal is Burger King. You get 2 small burgers (they vary which kind every so often; the best is when they offer the Big King Jr.) or 2 junior chickens (or 1 of each), small fries or small onion rings and a small drink. If you eat it in the restaurant, you can refill your drink as many times as you want to. Less than 2 years ago, they offered it for $4.99, then raised it to $5.99 and now it's $6.49 (Canadian dollars, of course). It's the best deal if you want to get relatively full without spending a lot of money. I just had it yesterday, but I wasn't wearing a lab coat when I ate it.

Solid research, I'm gonna have to check out the cravings box now. Here are some other meals/deals that rank pretty high on calories per $: -McDonalds app deal: "Free Med fries with $2 purchase" + $2.49 McDouble (+ optional $1 any size drink) -BK app deal: "Free fries w purchase" + $3.59 Bacon Double Cheeseburger (+ optional $1.49 4pc nugs or $1.69 chk jr) -Popeyes $6.99 big box (2 pc chicken, 2 sides, biscuit + thru app free drink) -Arbys 2 for 7 -Subway coupon codes can be found online, $5.99 ANY footlong in my area. You can get a $13 signature footlong too.

I forgot the name of the restaurant i went to while i was in TN and you actually reminded me of it showing cookout LMAO thanks for fixing the mind block
@jacksonthompson4584 Жыл бұрын
Cookout just lowered to $6.99 a tray now. You can also get 4 chicken quesadillas there on one tray because they have a “double up” option to make your sides one entree. That all comes with a drink too. Shit is wildly valuable and great, you need to make a stop in one if you travel to the southeast.

One that was missed (that might not be in your area) Is DQ Meal Deals, they are more expensive at $7 but have ice cream for those who enjoy a basic sundae. Another thing I wanted to note was upgrades. Im not sure how much it factors into it but Wendies when I go, I often get the biggie bag and upgrade my fries to a baconator or pub fries. Its $1 more but who doesnt love cheese fries. Another is DQ as I mentioned, I love upgrading from fries to the Cheese Curds. Not sure the actual upcharge on DQ's but they make the meals even better IMO. Im sure it also ups it quite a bit as cheese usually is pretty hefty in the calorie department. Especially fried cheese

The Taco Bell combo has always been on top for me, Crunchwrap supreme is just sooo good.

This kinda reminds me of the one hackathon project which took whatever cash or change amount you had lying around and converted it to the highest calorie meal possible to be purchased from Taco Bell.

Had a feeling the cravings box would come up on top, it's a lot of food, and it's so tasty also, that's exactly what I get when ordering it lol except I ask for no beans in the burrito

I remember when the Wendy's junior bacon cheese was 1.29 😩

I think something to consider is additional condiments. At Wendy's (at least where I am in Canada) additional toppings like lettuce, pickles, onions, and tomatoes, are all free. You could up the value of some of these meals for no additional cost. And also, maybe who has the best mobile offers. I frequent Wendy's so I'll use them again, but usually every week they'll have a $1 large fry or free medium fry with purchase. I can get large fries and a double junior bacon cheeseburger (with pickles and onion added for free) for just a few dollars. And Wendy's is bangin' here too so it works out.
