Arby's launches $7 Double the Meats sandwich deal

Much like its fellow fast food competitors slashing prices and offering special discounts to lure in customers, Arby's is adding a new deal to its menu with its Double the Meats Meal.

For just $7, the new Double the Meats Meal includes a Double Roast Beef or Double Beef 'N Cheddar sandwich, along with a medium fry and medium drink.

The Double Roast Beef sandwich boasts two times the amount of slowly roasted, thinly sliced-to-order, signature roast beef piled high on a toasted sesame seed bun.

The Double Beef 'N Cheddar also piles on a double portion of roast beef, topped with cheddar sauce and zesty Red Ranch, served on a toasted onion roll.

The new deal comes on the heels of similar promotions and discounts from Arby's competitors. In June, McDonald's launched a $5 Meal Deal that includes a McDouble or McChicken sandwich, small french fries, a four-piece Chicken McNuggets and a small soft drink. Earlier this month, the fast food giant extended the popular deal through December.

Several other fast food chains including Burger King , Wendy's , Starbucks and Taco Bell have rolled out comparable discounts, hoping to entice customers looking to stretch their dollars as much as possible.
