    With how expensive fast food is now, you might as well just go to a slightly more expensive place and get a higher quality burger or whatever.

      I used to love Wendy’s and went to Wendy’s a little while ago and just got a burger no fries nothing else and it was like 9 dollars. I was blown away and never want to go back. All these cheap chains jacked up their prices and saw temporary profits but then customers realize it’s not a good deal and stop going. Late stage capitalism really sucks.

      Wendys has the best deal on a meal that I know of, if you are really hurting. You can get the $6 bag which is about 800 calories plus drinks. You could technically survive on $7 a day there if you drink a few drinks while there.

        I looked it up, and assuming I’m looking at the right one, the price and availability differ depending on location. I’d be kind of surprised if it’s that cheap where I live.

      Of all the fast food restaurants, I still go to Wendy’s like once a year. And you aren’t kidding. The 4 by 4 shrunk, and before, it was $4, but now $7.

      The one-use app coupons brought it back down. But f that noise.

      It’s still cheaper than the average lunch in my city, where meals cost $12-15.

      A lot of sit down restaurants are about the same quality as fast food used to be and twice as expensive. It’s just not worth it to eat out

        That hasnt been my experience at all. If I go somewhere for 2x the cost of fast-food, the quality is usually far ahead
