While out last week, we went to a certain fast food restaurant and ordered a sandwich, side, and a kid’s meal. Our total was $16!! I know all about how prices have risen in recent years, but I left that drive-thru determined to make sure I knew of some cheaper options, or at least more bang for my buck, the next time we needed to grab food on the go. Hopefully, this list will help when you need to grab something while out to feed your family or yourself.
