same.

it used to be $1 most sandwiches, then $2, now gone.



for reference, a large signature crafted combo from McDonalds is around $12.

Uh, what does that mean? I haven't eaten at McDonald's in something like 25 years. That sounds like a weird menu item, but it probably translates into something stupid like: "these are the things I actually want on my sawdust patty." Is that what that means? lol.

McD has a line of "premium" sandwiches - they generally use better ingredients and have more calories.

You don't have the Any sandwich for $1, excluding Double QPC and Signature Crafted sandwiches?
Offer valid thru 9/30 at participating McDonald’s. Excludes tax.

https://www.mcdonalds.com/us/en-us/deals.html

I'm going to miss the $1 QPC or Filet-O-Fish on October 1st.
I probably did have the $1 deal, but when I went through the drive thru, i forgot that I had the app installed on my phone so I ordered the single QPC at the time. Had i thought it through I definitely would have gotten the $1 deal.

Evidently Rubio's really wants you to drink now - in addition to their "TGIFF" promotion, they have updated their Taco Tuesday promotion - fish tacos are only $1.75, and you can have a fish taco + beer for $5. So we got 4 fish tacos, beans/chips, and a Pacifico for $14.xx

Just wanted to add that Wendy's app now has a free Dave's Single every day with any purchase and Burger King's app has $1 Whoppers.

I went to Jimmy Johns for the first time in about a year today and got my “usual”, a #12. I saw they were really pushing the new 9 grain bread and sure enough the cashier asked if I wanted to try it. I asked if it was an up charge and the dude said no, so I decided to try it. First thing I noticed was that it seemed slimmer than the normal subs, but I haven’t eaten there in quite some time so I could not be sure. It started off tasting just okay, half way through I was beginning to dislike it, and when nearing the end, I had to force myself to finish it. 0/5 stars. Just get the normal bread.

What have you done

Edit: Can you order online & then pick up in the drive-thru?

Update, yup, you can go through the drive-thru. It's an option when you check out, and you can pay for it in the app too! You just click the "I'm here" button when you get close, give them your name & order number at the drive-through, pick up your food, and leave. Prices were pretty good...$1 whopper, $1 crispy chicken sandwich, $1 slushi. Cost me 60 cents to put cheese on my dollar whopper lol.

Does yours have the parking spots for curbside? I've never seen anyone use them at the ones I go to.

Usually I just pack my lunch & snacks for the day, and have dinner at home, but some days when I work late, it's just way too convenient to stop off & get a quick, hot meal. The stupid apps are making it far too convenient to get fast food tho lol.

yeah but in the mornings because it's so slammed you get faster service walking in and picking up.

The apps have allowed me to eat breakfast again.

I'm going to be within a few miles of a Shake Shack on Friday, currently in the planning stage to get lunch there. Going to have to get a burger and a chicken sandwich so I can sample them both.

It’s superior to CfA in every way and is priced accordingly.

$15 all in for the sandwich / drink / fries.

but is it cheaper/same price as chick fil a?

pickles being thicker on that piece of chicken is already nice

The Chik'n Shack demolishes all other fried fast-food chicken sandwiches. Just be sure to order extra sauce, because it is delicious.

mm, I'm sure it's worth a try at least once.
