I'm talking $ 1.50 U.S. and below! I don't feel like cooking and don't want to go to the atm and have 3.80 cents on me right now. Usually I go to Wendy's cause i can get a Baked Potato, 1/4 double stack, a cesar side salad and a cup of water for $3.20. But I feel like something different.

Del Taco is Ok - but doesn't get you full enough and the Mcdonalds Value Menu Sucks. I know that El Pollo Loco has a value menu but I have not tried it. So any suggestions are helpful. Remember I have basically 4 dollars to get 2 to 3 food items with so help a brother out.

As far as I can tell Wendy's is your best bet... a cup of water karmaT is that because you eat there?

Damn that's a good deal!!

The closest we get at Wendy's here is a Caesar side salad for 1.99, Baked potato I think is 1.79, and a quarter pound burger? forget about it. The Wendy's classic quarter pounder without cheese is like 2.89 on its own.

Why don't you just debit your transaction and go wherever you like?

What!?!? 1.79 for a bake potato...at Wendy's. ya'll don't have the dollar menus there?

Damn!

A double whopper bacon & cheese meal here is about $7.50.

Just a Big Mac on its own is $2.50 - how does that compare?

At least they deliver though.

it's the same here for a double whopper meal but the only thing you get more of is the fries and drink, the burger isn't any bigger.

Have you ever had the Samurai Pork Burger at a Thai McDonald's?

Jack In The Box is awesome!

No. We have the "value menu. Everything's between 1.39 and 1.99

savoirfaire said:

We have that also but everything on it is a dollar.

Wendy's

go to white castle, 3.80 will get you a-list treatment!

omgosh White Castles...


don't you have to be drunk to eat White Castles though...


I've always related White Castles with goin' to the club...

Rhondab said:

That's about the only time I ever ate white castle.


I really have cut fast food out of my life, except for the occasional food court visit if I'm power shopping and hungry.

CarrieMpls said:

I think White Castles had to be one of the first fast food joints to stay open forever...plus they go ok with liquor.



easier to later...

oh, and i can get a whole big bag of taco bell miscellany for like six bucks. it's a step up from white castle, anyway.

Rhondab said:

i'm serious about this:

if i ever decide to stop being a vegetarian, i'm buying a big bag of white castles and eating them all in one big chomp.

why?

a) because i actually MISS those nasty bastards; and

b) i want a reaction to eating meat that will really make me re-think my return to carnivore-dom.

how does something that everyone deems so nasty tastes good?

what drug go into those things?

Rhondab said:

its the combination of cow face with pure grease and a healthy dose of salt

that makes it mouthwateringly good

Stax said:

No, I've always stayed well clear. They have these burgers with buns made of rice too.

Ever since I saw Harold & Kumar I've been dying to try White Castle, but I don't think there's one within 500 miles of where I live.

I don't care to much for fast food. But some far, I've found Sonic in LA to be alright.

Of course, Some of my asian friends say that the Asian Micky D's in Thailand & India have great menus.

Fauxie said:

I remember something like corn pie on the menu.

Taco Bell is pretty cheap too. Up until a few days ago I hadn't eaten Taco Bell since I lived on campus. Can't believe I got pulled back.

Who remembers Hot N Now? They got shut down here for using horse meat

seems this is quickly turning into the White Castle photo thread
