    As the temperature outside continues to heat up, so have the fast food value menu wars.

    Between McDonald's newly-introduced $5 value meal and Taco Bell's new limited-time Luxe Cravings Box, there is no shortage of summer deals to be had this year. As fast food giants race to win customers back after skyrocketing prices turned them away, consumers seem to be reaping the benefit − at least for now.

    From $3 breakfast bundles to new here-to-stay menus, the summertime sales cover breakfast, lunch, dinner and then some, all for easily under $10 per person.

    Wondering where you can catch some of the best deals? We've got you covered.
