Man Unveils the Ultimate $5 Fast-Food Meal Deal Winner

When I was young and first living on my own, I could easily survive on 3-for-a-dollar macaroni and cheese and the one-dollar value menu at most fast-food restaurants. Although these options may not have been the healthiest, they were cheap and could help you stretch your grocery budget. But that’s not the case these days.

Along with everything else, the cost of fast food has skyrocketed, almost on par with the prices at sit-down restaurants and, in some cases, even more. However, this summer brings a glimmer of hope with some of the biggest values we’ve seen in a while.

Watch this video from June 21 to discover the best deal of all.

It’s great to see the return of value meals that are worth it! While Burger King, McDonald’s, and Wendy’s are all offering some terrific options, @ snackolator tells us one reigns supreme.

The Best $5 Meal Deal

He describes McDonald’s $5 Meal Deal that begins June 25 as “Fairly straightforward.” First, you’ll choose between a McDouble or a McChicken, and with your selection, you’ll get a four-piece nugget, a small fry, and a small drink. He reports it will save somewhere between $2 to 2.50, depending on the location. That’s not bad, especially if you’re planning a road trip with the family. Those savings can add up fast when you have multiple mouths to feed!

Burger King is also bringing back the $5 Your Way Meal. Here, you’ll choose from a Whopper Jr., Chicken Jr., or Bacon Cheeseburger. You’ll also get a four-piece nugget, value fries, and value drink. It’s the same meal overall, but the McDouble offers a second patty.

Wendy’s famous $5 Biggie Bags allows you to choose a Junior Bacon Cheeseburger or a Crispy Chicken Sandwich with a four-piece nugget, small fries, and a small drink. But if you’re feeling hungry, you can select a Double Stack for $1 more. He reports this five-dollar deal stands out for a few reasons. Not only can we select their saucy nuggets, but we can also choose a Frosty for our drink. He reveals we can also score extra special deals using the app. For example, on this day, Wendy’s was offering a free single with any purchase. That really is a bargain for five bucks!

If you’re always looking for the best deal, downloading these restaurant apps can be an enormous value. From free ice cream to free fries and buy-one-get-one-free sandwiches, there’s always a great way to save some cash.

Hopefully, these money-saving food options will become a new and lasting trend. Whether at the grocery store, drive-thru, or your favorite sit-down dining establishment, everyone could use a little relief this summer.
