Fast-food companies are offering deals that will give customers more bang for their buck as inflation continues to impact consumers’ wallets.

McDonald’s, Wendy’s, and Buffalo Wild Wings are just a few companies offering value meals or discounts to attract more customers.


Whether you need a quick lunch or don’t feel like cooking tonight, here are some food deals that won’t wreak havoc on your wallet.  

Buffalo Wild Wings

The company recently announced that it’s offering an all-you-can-eat deal on boneless wings and fries for $19.99. The deal is only available to dine-in customers every Monday and Wednesday for a limited time.

However, the deal is only available to one person per order.

McDonald’s

The burger giant plans to add a $5 meal deal to its U.S. menus to counter slowing sales and customers’ frustration with high prices.

The deal would allow customers to get a four-piece McNuggets, small fries, a small drink, and either a McDouble burger or a McChicken sandwich for $5 in most areas, according to The Associated Press.

Wendy’s

On Monday, Wendy’s announced a $3 breakfast deal, which includes an egg and cheese English muffin sandwich with bacon or sausage and a side of seasoned potatoes.

It’s also giving away free chicken nuggets to its reward members on Wednesdays for the rest of the year.

Taco Bell

The chain revamped its Cravings Value Menu in January to include 10 menu items for $3 or less. The deals are available to participating restaurants.
