Yes, I was thinking of Whataburger when I posted. It's not the same.Ugh that Chicago private equity firm ruined the patty melt at Whataburger. Rest of the menu tastes the same IMO, but they got rid of the buttery crisp thick Texas toast and replaced it with sad skinny floppy soggy toast, completely ruined the burger. Now tastes like it's made with the generic HEB thin white bread or something.
A Giant costs $19 locally. That's two lunches worth, but I still can't justify it.Savor the memories. They just got bought up by private equity firm Blackstone.

Tbh it's only the Texas toast I really notice a difference in when it comes to the food. The drive thru has become horrendous since the Chicago buyout though to the point I only eat inside when I get Whataburger now because I don't want to spend 30 minutes in the drive thru.Yes, I was thinking of Whataburger when I posted.

Honestly, I don't get their burgers very often so maybe I just don't know what I'm talking about lol. I usually get breakfast there. It's better than most fast food places, and didn't seem to change with the new ownership. This morning I tried this special limited sandwich.

I like to get that sausage, cheese, and ranchero egg but on a cheddar jalapeno biscuit instead of the bun. Was nice when they gave one away free last week lol.Honestly, I don't get their burgers very often so maybe I just don't know what I'm talking about lol. I usually get breakfast there.

I think that jalapeno cheddar biscuit sandwich was another limited thing, that was awesome. I didn't see it on the menu.I like to get that sausage, cheese, and ranchero egg but on a cheddar jalapeno biscuit instead of the bun. Was nice when they gave one away free last week lol.
I got one last week and every time I get a honey butter chicken biscuit I sub in the jalapeno cheddar biscuit for free. Been getting those all year since the HEB I go to on its receipts has a coupon for a free honey butter chicken biscuit with purchase of a 16oz Coke.I think that jalapeno cheddar biscuit sandwich was another limited thing, that was awesome.

I just started using the survey coupon recently; good deal!LOL I literally do that for every trip to McDonalds. B1G1 with survey receipt on $3.20 double cheeseburgers plus small soda for $1 and then use the free medium fries with purchase deal from the app. Comes out to like $4.54. Or if I'm really hungry use B1G1 for $4.69 on quarter pounders with cheese plus $1 soda plus free fries from the app deal. Big Mac is kind of a waste IMO paying for that much bread and a gross sauce I used to always leave off anyways when I ordered it.
I save them until I have 3000 and then get two hot and spicy McChickens for 1500 points each. There is no 15 minute timer for using your points like there is for app deals but you can only do one transaction at a time with your points so it's really slow to use them at the register or in the drive thru. So when I'm going to use them I'll place two separate online orders for hot and spicy McChicken for 1500 points each then go buy a small soda inside and use the app deal for free medium fries with $1 or more purchase.I just started using the survey coupon recently; good deal!
Do you actually get any use from your points? I suppose instead of using one of the other promo deals, I could just burn 3000 points on medium fries once in a while. As you know, points don't stack with deals and I hate having to sit there for 15 mins for the clock to reset.
Also check your app deals. They're running a $1 ten piece McNuggets once a week until December 2nd to get good press after the Quarter Pounder E.Coli news cycle.I just started using the survey coupon recently; good deal!

It's been a couple years since I've had any, but I always liked 7-11 pizza. Tastes like skating rink pizza, with all that entails, but it's nostalgic and enjoyable.
