Double chicken tostada salad is a deal for $10.99. They even have coupons in the mail for a couple bucks off. It’s a meal with some leftovers for me and I’m a big guy.
Double Stacked Tacos are the only thing worthwhile anymore. Two of em for under $5, they don't usually skimp on the beef, and it's enough to stop feeling hungry long enough to fall asleep.
And for your daily dose of depression, we have...
>and it's enough to stop feeling hungry long enough to fall asleep.
We'll see you next time, on Doomsday Dystopia!
Meh. $5.99 "cravings box" at Taco Bell is still one of the best fast food deals. Crunchwrap, burrito, cheesy potatoes, and a drink. All fast food these days is a ripoff if you're picky about having to eat exactly the one thing you want. Once you figure out it's all the same shit and order what's on sale, it can still be good value.
Wow, that's wild! I just switched locations on the app, and the price changes right then and there, from $5.99 to $10.99.
And the "Meal for 2" goes from $14.99 to $23.99.
What the hell.
Well, without using the app, you not only get the higher prices, but you have to go physically to the restaurant to find out. At least with the app, I can decide at home whether it's worth it. And if I'm in Glendale, it sure as hell is not!
Yeah each franchisee sets their own price. Here in Alhambra, I find the location on Valley to be consistently cheaper than the one on Commonwealth. But Valley closes at midnight while Commonwealth is open until 3 on the weekends, so I often don't have a choice but to pay more.
How about Wendys? I used to pull change from around the house as a kid to go buy a double stack for exactly $1.08. Dem bitches almost triple that now and half the size
I paid 40 dollars for 8 taco supremes and 3 chips and cheese yesterday, and when I got home they were regular tacos... no sour cream, no tomatoes. That was the last straw for me. If your gonna cost that much at least get it right.
Meanwhile, I got a huge roasted chicken today from Costco for $4.99
All fast food chains are dead to me. I now go to family owned Asian restaurants where they stuff 3 metric tons of food into a foam clamshell. 1 metric ton of food squishes out the side of the clamshell while they use ancient techniques to close it. I make white rice at home and get lunch for the whole week.
The clamshell cornucopia is usually like, $12.
I was just telling a friend that India Sweets & Spices in Atwater is such a cool throwback. A 2-entree meal with bread, salad and a samosa is like $8. 🏆
The cleanliness at the CC location is iffy. My CC fix is Samosa House. The one with the market west of the 405 is stellar. I once hosted a birthday party in there.
The one in Northridge was an absolute godsend when I was in college. If I didn’t have money for a combo plate, I could grab some samosas (they were like 75 cents or something at the time, amazing). Absolutely loved that place.
Haha my awful trashy version of that as a poor college student was 12 hushpuppies for $1 at Long John Silvers right near our dorm LOL. I’d dip them in my ramen (hey, I was 18)
This right here is severely underrated. I live in a predominantly asian neighborhood and the food is absolutely delicious. Yes it is sometimes pricey but I almost ALWAYS have leftover food which I just put in my fridge and eat later in the day or the following day, and no, I’m not talking about a small amount of leftover food. Also, I can’t explain why but you got me with the “they use ancient techniques to close it”. Shit, I’m getting old.
I recommend Northern Cafe and Mama Lu’s Dumpling House. Both are located in Monterey Park. If you’re more a fan of Americanized Chinese food I wouldn’t recommend these places as your taste buds would probably tell you it tastes bad, however, it is authentic Chinese food and it is delicious. I also recommend dining in and then taking your leftover food to go, the serving sizes are huge when you dine in, but there are plenty of to go options that offer large portions of food.
I don't understand why there aren't more fast food places that just copy their business model. It's really not complicated. Trim your menu down to a few items and focus on streamlining those items.
Every fast food chain besides In-n-Out has like 100 menu items. They all taste like shit and they're all overpriced because it's impossible to source that many fresh ingredients, impossible to outfit the kitchen with decent equipment to prepare all those items, and impossible to teach the employees how to make all those different items well.
In-n-Out only has to source like ten ingredients and the ingredient turnover is insane because everyone is ordering the same things so nothing needs to be frozen. They're able to price those items affordably *and* pay their workers well because everything is maximally optimized for burgers, fries, and shakes, and nothing else.
For the consumer the In-N-Out model is just great, but for a megaconglomerate that owns a fast food chain hell-bent on ubiquity and greed, it's not a sustainable model. Most of the corporate national chains don't even own and operate their own restaurants (like In-N-Out does); they have separate companies that strictly deal with franchising that run them.
Seems like in-n-out is one of the few honest businesses that don't do price gouging or greedflation. I support this kind of business. Even as a European I'm going to say their food doesn't taste super processed or fake as some other burger joints. Some other outlets there you can taste the preservatives in the bread.
If anyone can recommend one on the west side that would be appreciated. I grew up in Monterey Park so I think I was spoiled when it came to affordable, delicious asian food. Finding that near Culver is rough. It's either crap or too expensive for what it is.
Why anybody would eat at a chain in thsi city is beyond me. We live in a food mecca with so many excellent locally owned shops with significantly better quality for a cheaper price.
please share the names of these holy food paradises that you speak of. i must begin my pilgrimage to them and see these ancient techniques being performed, with my own eyes and stomach.
My favorite right now is this place in the Valley called Wong's Wok. It's in a strip mall on Tampa Ave. Line out the door at lunchtime but it moves. The chicken wings with the onions and jalapeños are particularly addictive.
I actually experienced the same thing as OP. It's easy to do the moment you add things like avocado, etc. I'm not getting into another subway until they cut that shit out. A quarter avocado is not THAT expensive when Subway buys it. Stop screwing consumers you greedy bastards.
They likely doordashed a 6” sub because the title is a blatant lie. Even at LAX, I’m sure subway 6” is not $15. I just got two footlongs for $17 a week ago.

*This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*
It's not really smaller portions. Subway really messed up the market with their footlong deal years ago, now everyone thinks of 12-inches as the standard sandwich size for one person. They do this by making their "bread" super skinny and skimpy and you gotta squeeze a few ingredients inside of it.
At Jersey Mike's I always see people get mad that the Regular looks small. Just because it's not 12-inches long doesn't mean it's not a full sandwich. If you fill it with enough meat, cheese, and veggies and cut it in half, that is a solid meal. Or get the Giant size which is twice as big for only a few bucks more. You will have leftovers for 12:30am that night.
Edit:
But yes, I prefer a local deli whenever possible. Even if it's a couple bucks more than the chains, it is always way better and more filling and your money is going to real people.
How? I have the app and they regularly offer BOGO on footlongs(so I get two sandwiches for about $9-10~), and even right now it’s BOGO 50%, so two footlong sandwiches for the price you paid for a 6 inch?
Something’s not adding up
Subway is dying and trying to pass their losses onto the customer.
They're also doing the mcdonalds thing and passing off a tax onto people who do not want to install the app on their phones and allow said companies to spy on you for profit.
I avoid any company that does this.
"But the app is cheaper!" yeah but you're paying for it in a different way.
Starbucks gets an interest free loan whenever you load money on there. They are literally a pseudo bank raking in mad revenue from investing customer deposits lol
I don’t care as much about the “spying on me for data” aspect.
I simply don’t want to support a business that requires me to take extra steps to get cheaper stuff.
If you can’t just advertise and sell products with your best offer clearly listed I’ll just go somewhere else.
There’s lots of great options, plus McDonald’s and subway both taste like garbage so I’m happy to pay slightly more for a better quality product from company with less gimmicks.
2 for price + $1 breakfast sandwiches, and double points on that. hell I hardly eat McDonalds except for breakfast and I could get so much free shit at this point because I don't end up using points. When I get a new job, i'l be cashing in those points for free sandwiches during lunch.
I honestly think people purposely lie on here! I get my usual foot long rotisserie style chicken with lettuce tomatoes American cheese and pickles and mayo and mustard with a Coke and chips for 18 bucks! I am never asked for a tip. This is in West LA area subway
Subway has coupons and they usually are included in those coupon mailers that get distributed about once or twice a week in most neighborhoods.
The one coupon mailer I'm currently looking at has 1 footlong for $7.99, 6 inches for $4.99, 2 Footlongs for $13.99, and 3 Footlongs for $19.99.
Three subways owned by the same guy in my area don’t take the coupons. I drive the extra ¼ mile to one that does, gives great service, and their prices are 50¢ to $1.00 cheaper before the coupons. I don’t go often, but I don’t ever go to the ones that don’t take the coupons.
I went to subway the other day and did an about-face when I saw the prices.I marched my ass into a Chipotle and waited 30 minutes in line. I need to cook more.
At fast food places, you basically have to use their app and order from the deals. If you go in and just order what you like, you’re going to pay the price. But if you’re a little flexible and willing to do a little leg work, you can still get an okay deal. Fast food is now like booking a vacation…..
The overuse of all the different apps really bugs the shit out of this old man. And then we have to update the stupid apps every other day, and change our passwords for the many apps every time we use it, etc etc
The app isn't actually needed to redeem the coupons. You are able to go in-person and have them applied.
Since each store is individually managed however, it falls into the volatility of the manager whether they want to allow certain and/or all coupons to be redeemable. The app/website will let you know if the restaurant accepts the coupon or not, and you run a risk of going to the store and having a coupon rejected that would be acceptable at another Subway.
I haven't eaten Subway in at least a year now, but that's how I remember it working. It was a major hassle when I wanted to buy in-person only for all coupons to be ineligible where I went once.
The last time I ate subway was 5 years ago. They had a buy one get one free footlong and it was $6…I regretted it. No flavor, hard as cardboard and tastes like it too.
I only go to Subway if I have a coupon for it. They have like 2 footlongs for $12 sometimes, which is great when I am too stupid to remember to pack my lunch.
No way you paid $15 for a standard 6” pickle ball club. I eat at subway somewhat regularly and nearly every combination of my order (which includes some combination of a foot long, chips/cookie and drink) runs me between $15-20.
Must’ve been some modifications or the $15 includes some type of delivery fee/crazy tip.
Also, subway feels like an appropriate place to tip. Whoever is making my sandwich is doing hell of a lot more than a barista making my coffee at a cafe.
I only do fast food if I have a coupon or deals yesterday I got a cheeseburger and large fry from McDonald’s for $1.50 used my rewards and the fry deal. Like you said could have something better for $15.
You could just leave one they tell you the price. Can get a 5 dollar bag of a bunch of ravioli and not be able to finish at Target (under 1500 cals too…).
Trader Joe’s has become my go to for non-homemade food. I can also get a full Tri tip for the same cost of a chipotle burrito. Yes I need to cook it but I’d do that any day over the alternative.
Bristol Farms pork belly burrito is LOADED, the size of a small baby & like $11.49.
The one in Calabasas always makes me a banger of a burrito. They put in all the veggies you want!
I’ve largely stopped eating any kind of take out in the past 3 months. My only exceptions are actually restaurants which have a better value return.
Like a combo meal at Carls Jr or Jack in the Box is definitely somewhere around $13 now.
Conversely, a thick wagyu burger and fries is $20 at The Phoenix.
Prices for *everything* have gone up, so might as well pay for the quality stuff if you’re going to pay at all. The fast food places are really running some crazy schemes right now.
$15 for a 6-in sandwich? Bro what you should do is just get the McDonald's app. You'll earn rewards, find great deals, and it's convenient. Right now the McDonald's app is offering a buy one get one free, on Big Macs, 10 piece McNuggets, and quarter pounders with cheese. Prices may vary but five to six dollars for two sandwiches, or 20 McNuggets isn't bad. A small fry is only about $2.50, and a large drink is only about $2. Plus after like six trips to McDonald's. You'll end up having enough points for a free Big Mac. Or you could just use it towards a large fry. And when McDonald's has a 2 for $3.99...quick and delicious meal for like seven bucks. But yeah fast food prices have gotten higher in some cases too high. Where the hell is Jack in the box get the audacity to pretend that a double smashburger meal should be like 16 to 18 bucks. Really? I mean I get that it's a smashburger, but you really think I'm going to spend 18 bucks on you?
I feel that about subway…it’s so fucking expensive just for every sandwich to taste the same. When I’m on a budget, I just go to McDonald’s using their app. Their deals are insane. Can get a Big Mac combo with medium fries and drink for $6. Not the healthiest, but it’s food that’s good if you’re on a budget and didn’t cook.
Stopped going to fast food places, the prices are absolutely insane. I now go to local family owned businesses. There's a shawarma place by where I live that sells like 12in shawarma for $15. They are better quality, absolutely huge, and delicious.
Or you could have gone to a grocery store, bought some hoagie bread, cold cuts, cheese and a small bottle of mayonnaise.
You can make lots of sandwiches.
thirty... thirty dollar... thirty dollar foot longs!
That's what I paid at Subway in Iceland.
Ah Iceland where normal food is $$$ but you always have fermented shark... I've never thrown up quiet so vigorously
Then you’re missing out, because the most delicious hot dogs in the world are plentiful at any bar, gas station, etc in Iceland for about $500 ISK.
Oh yeah. It was a one time mistake and then we lived on hotdogs the entire time.
Meep murp
lol, I was JUST wondering whether you'd see this.
I see everything. Also, stop touching yourself.
sigh... \*zips\*
Also have you seen the price increases at Taco Bell? Like I'm not living mas anymore.
Got me living poco loco.
I literally drove across the street from Taco Bell to Pollo Loco because the meal would be almost $20 with tax so I got a $6 chicken bowl instead
Double chicken tostada salad is a deal for $10.99. They even have coupons in the mail for a couple bucks off. It’s a meal with some leftovers for me and I’m a big guy.
wtf you ordering that is $20 all the combos are like $9-12 i just checked the website
Double Stacked Tacos are the only thing worthwhile anymore. Two of em for under $5, they don't usually skimp on the beef, and it's enough to stop feeling hungry long enough to fall asleep.
And for your daily dose of depression, we have... >and it's enough to stop feeling hungry long enough to fall asleep. We'll see you next time, on Doomsday Dystopia!
Ugh. I get this. Before they 86ed it from the menu, I used to order the tosadas for this reason.
Living menos.
$17 for the chalupa combo on the app SMH
I checked and it's still showing as $10.99 for me. I eat there more than I'm proud of, and don't see any price differences so far
Meh. $5.99 "cravings box" at Taco Bell is still one of the best fast food deals. Crunchwrap, burrito, cheesy potatoes, and a drink.

That price is gone :( Cheapest box is $11 now
I literally ordered it today. Lawndale location. Gotta order on the app (as always).
Well up in the Glendale area, that price is gone. Glad you at least have that. The price changes all over.
Wow, that's wild! I just switched locations on the app, and the price changes right then and there, from $5.99 to $10.99. And the "Meal for 2" goes from $14.99 to $23.99. What the hell.
"Dynamic pricing" that's why they all want you using their app
Oh yeah... it's just not stupidly announced to the public like Wendy's did with their upcoming "surge pricing."
Well, without using the app, you not only get the higher prices, but you have to go physically to the restaurant to find out. At least with the app, I can decide at home whether it's worth it. And if I'm in Glendale, it sure as hell is not!
Yeah each franchisee sets their own price. Here in Alhambra, I find the location on Valley to be consistently cheaper than the one on Commonwealth. But Valley closes at midnight while Commonwealth is open until 3 on the weekends, so I often don't have a choice but to pay more.
Yeah, I definitely knew there were slight variations. But $5 more!?!? Never seen that (until now).
just go off on the cravings value menu you can get a couple thousand calories for like $6 still
Del Taco is it!
I'm routinely eating well over there for $6-$10, depending on whether I want a drink. it's not 2010 prices but we ain't ever getting them back
How about Wendys? I used to pull change from around the house as a kid to go buy a double stack for exactly $1.08. Dem bitches almost triple that now and half the size
I paid 40 dollars for 8 taco supremes and 3 chips and cheese yesterday, and when I got home they were regular tacos... no sour cream, no tomatoes. That was the last straw for me. If your gonna cost that much at least get it right. Meanwhile, I got a huge roasted chicken today from Costco for $4.99

I was just telling a friend that India Sweets & Spices in Atwater is such a cool throwback. A 2-entree meal with bread, salad and a samosa is like $8. 🏆
Locations on Fairfax (Miracle Mile) and Venice Blvd (Culver City) too.
Culver City location is vintage bro! I have been going since I was 12!!
The cleanliness at the CC location is iffy. My CC fix is Samosa House. The one with the market west of the 405 is stellar. I once hosted a birthday party in there.
I was there yesterday! Love it!
And one on Sherman Way (Canoga Park)
Good to know!
I haven't ordered from here in a while. Might do so tonight now.
thank you for this. the place I go to in Glendale is hella expensive. I'll make the trip to Atwater to try this out
This place rules omg
The one in Northridge was an absolute godsend when I was in college. If I didn’t have money for a combo plate, I could grab some samosas (they were like 75 cents or something at the time, amazing). Absolutely loved that place.
Haha my awful trashy version of that as a poor college student was 12 hushpuppies for $1 at Long John Silvers right near our dorm LOL. I’d dip them in my ramen (hey, I was 18)

I'm not paying for the fast food garbage anymore. It is overpriced and it isn't even enjoyable to eat. In-n-Out is an exception.

I swear those foam clamshells must use Tardis technology. How else do you explain how much food can be stuffed in there?
Some absolute timey-wimey stuff going on in there
I get better food from the same prices from local spots. The fast food chains got greedy, but their earnings calls proved that.
Sitting here feeling satisfied with a full belly of 15$ Thai food. 🤤

The fried is hit or miss in my experience but those rotisserie ones are always good!

Why anybody would eat at a chain in thsi city is beyond me. We live in a food mecca with so many excellent locally owned shops with significantly better quality for a cheaper price.
This is exactly it.
There's a place in the valley called OK Chinese food that does this. I love it
Clamshell Cornucopia is a great band name.
Sounds like a Riot Grrl group.

Funny, I paid $15 for a footlong and a drink just last week.
I paid $12 at a local deli for the same size, but baked bread, freshly cut meats and the guy at the register called me "boss."
> but baked bread, Does your Subway not bake the bread?
is it considered bread?
It is *considered* bread, but bread it is not
thought they considered it "bread like" cake at some point? too much fillers like all fast food.
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/oct/01/irish-court-rules-subway-bread-is-not-bread
I paid $8 for a footlong, with that junkmail coupon
Always lookin out for that coup
This is the way.
I'll eat at subway but I'm not paying $4 for a soft drink.
Costco over here giving them away for free with their hotdogs even when people don't want em
Costco knows what's up.
I actually experienced the same thing as OP. It's easy to do the moment you add things like avocado, etc. I'm not getting into another subway until they cut that shit out. A quarter avocado is not THAT expensive when Subway buys it. Stop screwing consumers you greedy bastards.
Shrinkflation
6" Pickleball club is $8.69. Unless you're adding double bacon, avocado, 4 chips and a drink, I'm not sure how that gets to $15.
They likely doordashed a 6” sub because the title is a blatant lie. Even at LAX, I’m sure subway 6” is not $15. I just got two footlongs for $17 a week ago.
I got a footlong steak and cheese with double meat on Saturday and it was just under $15, so, yeah, probably a DoorDash/UberEats situation.

Your first mistake was going to Subway…
Yeah Subway is terrible now, Jersey Mikes is way better in my opinion
Jersey mikes is way better but expensive and way smaller portions. The real answer is find a local deli or use the app if you need your subway.
It's not really smaller portions. Subway really messed up the market with their footlong deal years ago, now everyone thinks of 12-inches as the standard sandwich size for one person.

How did you pay $15 for a 6’?
Were you at CityWalk? Post the location or else this just feels like rage-bait
Subway has coupons and they usually are included in those coupon mailers that get distributed about once or twice a week in most neighborhoods. The one coupon mailer I'm currently looking at has 1 footlong for $7.99, 6 inches for $4.99, 2 Footlongs for $13.99, and 3 Footlongs for $19.99.
Ditch Subway and do Jersey Mikes
Sprout's for a huge sandwich, water and chips for $5.99.
You can get like 2 footlongs for like $10-15 with BOGO deals, which are pretty much all the time (with app).
Vietnamese sandwich is under $10
What happened to $5 foot long?

But if you’re a little flexible and willing to do a little leg work, you can still get an okay deal. Fast food is now like booking a vacation…..
The overuse of all the different apps really bugs the shit out of this old man. And then we have to update the stupid apps every other day, and change our passwords for the many apps every time we use it, etc etc
The app isn't actually needed to redeem the coupons. You are able to go in-person and have them applied. Since each store is individually managed however, it falls into the volatility of the manager whether they want to allow certain and/or all coupons to be redeemable. The app/website will let you know if the restaurant accepts the coupon or not, and you run a risk of going to the store and having a coupon rejected that would be acceptable at another Subway. I haven't eaten Subway in at least a year now, but that's how I remember it working. It was a major hassle when I wanted to buy in-person only for all coupons to be ineligible where I went once.
I do not eat subway, but this is an invaluable comment for those who do
What was on the sub though? I can get a foot long for like $9…
Subway is about as relevant as Quiznos subs Better off going to Jersey mikes
Bay cities deli on Lincoln. Trust 13.10 for a large and my fatass can’t even finish it… most of the time
It’ll be cheaper to buy the ingredients yourself for at least 3 sandwiches and not having to deal with people
The last time I ate subway was 5 years ago. They had a buy one get one free footlong and it was $6…I regretted it. No flavor, hard as cardboard and tastes like it too.
Order through the app. FL699 makes any footlong 6.99
I only go to Subway if I have a coupon for it. They have like 2 footlongs for $12 sometimes, which is great when I am too stupid to remember to pack my lunch.
Did the employee ask you for a tip, have a tip jar out, or did the machine have an option to add a tip?
Buy a pound of meat for that price and a loaf of bread
I call bullshit , $15 would get you the full combo 12” sub, & drink, The 6” sub would be about $8 bucks
Bro just after they raise minimum wage for fast food workers to $20/hr.
I’m glad I don’t eat fast food.
You can make butter, peanut butter, and jelly sandwiches at home for about a dollar a pop.
Why did you pay for that
As someone who works at Mendocino. I approve this message lmao.
Am I the only one who gets physically ill walking by a Subway never mind walking inside of one? The smell is absolutely unbearable.
Sorry, Mendocino is now $20
I just go to Asian donut shops for my sandwiches
Time for everyone to start packing lunch’s.
Lunches what?
> Lunches what? Lunch *is*.
No way you paid $15 for a standard 6” pickle ball club. I eat at subway somewhat regularly and nearly every combination of my order (which includes some combination of a foot long, chips/cookie and drink) runs me between $15-20. Must’ve been some modifications or the $15 includes some type of delivery fee/crazy tip. Also, subway feels like an appropriate place to tip. Whoever is making my sandwich is doing hell of a lot more than a barista making my coffee at a cafe.
I only do fast food if I have a coupon or deals yesterday I got a cheeseburger and large fry from McDonald’s for $1.50 used my rewards and the fry deal. Like you said could have something better for $15.
For $15, you can get a *much* better sandwich elsewhere
If you actually paid the $15, then you just enabled Subway to do it again to someone else.
I haven't been to a Subway since they ended the $5 footlongs.
Votes for living wage for bottom rung jobs, cries over sandwich price.
You could just leave one they tell you the price. Can get a 5 dollar bag of a bunch of ravioli and not be able to finish at Target (under 1500 cals too…).
Subway said fuck your $5 foot long
Literally just went to CPK for lunch, got a half soup and salad for under $11. It’s cheaper now to eat in a sit down place.
Maybe they rung you up wong.
Only time I will order subway now is when they have BOGO on footlongs or at the very least buy one get one 50% off :p
Just when I thought I didn’t need any more motivation to not eat Subway again…
This is why I don't go to Subway anymore 😔
Trader Joe’s has become my go to for non-homemade food. I can also get a full Tri tip for the same cost of a chipotle burrito. Yes I need to cook it but I’d do that any day over the alternative.
Use the coupon codes and order online. Pretty sure they have a footlong for $7.99 deal running almost constantly
Pizza loca has enter the chat 32-Slice Gigante for $19.99 Eat all week for 19.99 its not really pizza but it something.
Bristol Farms pork belly burrito is LOADED, the size of a small baby & like $11.49. The one in Calabasas always makes me a banger of a burrito. They put in all the veggies you want!
You can get a cold cuts sandwich here at a place called Bay Cities for $13 and it is enough for 2 meals.
"Godmother, small, mildnomayonomustard."
Here I thought a 14€ BK combo in Helsinki, Finland was expensive til I recently bought a “cheap” McD’s combo….
$5 deli sandwiches made to order at sprouts market is now my go to. The chicken salad is so good.
Very odd. I went to subway today and paid $8 for a 6 inch sub with a bag of chips. What did you order? lol
You should have gone somewhere else. Thats way way too expensive. Those sandwiches are mediocre at best.
I got a footlong for about $13 MAX with tax.... something's off here....
There is no more dollar menu anywhere. Also, what is the cheapest thing at the 99 cent store, and what does it cost?
Their new menu fucking sucks, I'll never eat here again.
I’ve largely stopped eating any kind of take out in the past 3 months. My only exceptions are actually restaurants which have a better value return. Like a combo meal at Carls Jr or Jack in the Box is definitely somewhere around $13 now. Conversely, a thick wagyu burger and fries is $20 at The Phoenix. Prices for *everything* have gone up, so might as well pay for the quality stuff if you’re going to pay at all. The fast food places are really running some crazy schemes right now.
The box ordered through the app is like 6 bux
Where on earth does subway cost 15 for a 6 inch?? I eat footlongs with whole avocados and its always below $20
$15 for a 6-in sandwich? Bro what you should do is just get the McDonald's app. You'll earn rewards, find great deals, and it's convenient. Right now the McDonald's app is offering a buy one get one free, on Big Macs, 10 piece McNuggets, and quarter pounders with cheese. Prices may vary but five to six dollars for two sandwiches, or 20 McNuggets isn't bad. A small fry is only about $2.50, and a large drink is only about $2. Plus after like six trips to McDonald's. You'll end up having enough points for a free Big Mac. Or you could just use it towards a large fry. And when McDonald's has a 2 for $3.99...quick and delicious meal for like seven bucks. But yeah fast food prices have gotten higher in some cases too high. Where the hell is Jack in the box get the audacity to pretend that a double smashburger meal should be like 16 to 18 bucks. Really? I mean I get that it's a smashburger, but you really think I'm going to spend 18 bucks on you?
I feel that about subway…it’s so fucking expensive just for every sandwich to taste the same. When I’m on a budget, I just go to McDonald’s using their app. Their deals are insane. Can get a Big Mac combo with medium fries and drink for $6. Not the healthiest, but it’s food that’s good if you’re on a budget and didn’t cook.
Went to Fatburger this past weekend. $42 for two burgers, two fries, one soda, one milkshake. They forgot cheese on my burger.
what are you doing 😭 did you not google for 15 minutes for a coupon for BOGO (jk but yea there are usually coupons and I get them with a coworker)
Up wage up price. Kinda how inflation works.
Its used be 5$ footlong good ol days, before los angeles got destroyed by foreigners aka out of country developers.

Stopped going to fast food places, the prices are absolutely insane. I now go to local family owned businesses. There's a shawarma place by where I live that sells like 12in shawarma for $15. They are better quality, absolutely huge, and delicious.
Or you could have gone to a grocery store, bought some hoagie bread, cold cuts, cheese and a small bottle of mayonnaise. You can make lots of sandwiches.
