For all you unemployed and cheepos out there, here's a handy guide for recession fast food specials.

Ive eaten the value menus at:

Wendys - Chicken sandwich is good :thumbsup: value burgers now the size of a crushed tennis ball and are mostly ligament meat. :thumbsdown:

McDonalds - Good old fashioned double cheese for .99, still the same size and tastes the best. :thumbsup: McChicken is also good for the price. :thumbsup:

Churches - Best damn chicken sandwich for a buck. :thumbsup:

Jack In The Box - Barely acceptable Jumbo Jack, kind of dry. :neutral; Two tacos for .99 cents cant be beat. :thumbsup:

KFC - KFC snakers are good, although they are as small as advertised and one sure wont fill you up. :neutral; other choices cost more than a buck or are just side items. :thumbsdown:

Sonic - Junior burgers are good, but are best for the small appetite. :thumbsup: Small slushes are good for driving around and are better than a small slurpee. :thumbsup:

Article lies. McChicken Nuggets are delicious morsels. Article lost all credibility there.

my choice...unfortunately I dont live close to a wendys which is my favorite.

I like McDonalds and Taco Bell for cheap. Dbl Cheeseburgers, and bean burritos ftw.

 

[txrandom]

Beans and rice - $.5 at any grocery store.

Provided you've already invested in the basic equipment, nothing is both cheaper and healthier than cooking your own meals at home.

That is true, but then you have to clean up the equipment. What a hassle. 🙁

I prefer a wendy's small chili.

The Frito Chili Burrito is pretty damn good too. Pretty filling for $1. I think I could feel my arties clogging as I was eating it but it was tasty.

I try and stick with the value menus at Taco Bell and Wendy's. Both are pretty damn good IMO.

That's true but then when you get older you have to take lots of meds and have medical procedures to treat your body for all the damage done to it by the crap you ate when you were younger.

What a hassle ...

I havent tried it because I fear indigestion, but thanks for the insight!

Whopper Jr. Double Stack, Jr. Bacon, and McDouble are all decent for a buck.

Hell yes. Two cheesy double beef burritos + 7-layer nachos + drink = AWESOME LUNCH.

word. the nuggets at mcd's, bk and wendy are all fuckin good.

 

[ElFenix]

I suspect, instead, they are at home, stirring their beans, curing their own bacon, learning to make their own cheese

a friend of mine who is a bit of a foodie is actually doing these things, in addition to making his own beer. the bacon was pretty decent.
