"It really does feel like you can't get a cheap meal anywhere these days. Even fast food chains have been steadily increasing prices over the years, and while our favorite items continue to fall victim to inflation, we're continuously left searching for cheap eats that won't break the bank. But lately it seems like some of the bigwigs have been listening to our pleas,"
"Wendy's launched its new Biggie Deals menu just last month, rolling out three combos at three different price points. The cheapest one is the $4 Biggie Bites meal, which comes with either a crispy chicken sandwich, junior cheeseburger, junior bacon cheeseburger, a four piece nugget box, or junior fries, along with either a four piece nugget box, junior fries, or a small soft drink. There are $6 Biggie Bag and $8 Biggie Bundle offers too, but the $4 combo is a pretty good deal."
"Taco Bell was right on the heels of Wendy's, announcing a new Luxe Value Menu the exact same week in January 2026. The menu is focused on singular items, rather than full meals, but each one costs less than $3 (location dependent) and the options will rotate throughout the year. There will be 10 different products featured at a time, including five new creations."
Wendy's introduced the Biggie Deals menu with three combo tiers priced at $4, $6, and $8. The $4 Biggie Bites selection pairs a small entrée such as a crispy chicken sandwich, junior cheeseburger, junior bacon cheeseburger, four-piece nugget box, or junior fries with either a four-piece nugget box, junior fries, or a small soft drink. Taco Bell launched a Luxe Value Menu featuring ten rotating single-item offerings priced under $3, including five new creations. Current Taco Bell items include a beefy loaded potato griller ($2.49), an avocado ranch chicken stacker ($2.99), a mini taco salad ($2.49), and a nacho supreme dip ($2.49).
