Looking to save a few dollars and fill your belly as well? Look no further than your local fast-food restaurants, which are offering inflation-busting meal deals to start the year off right.
According to the website Fast Food Club, restaurants are helping their customers trim their expenses with some new deals that rely on little money but provide big flavor. However, there is a catch. Some of the restaurants insist that customers utilize their apps or order online to score these fast-food deals.
Arby’s, home of the roast beef sandwich, is offering its customers an online-only deal called $2.50 Favorites. To order, customers must have the Arby’s app or order via the fast-food chain’s website. These menu items include the Classic Roast Beef, Classic Beef ‘n Cheddar, 6-piece Nuggets, and Large Shake.
These deals are redeemable once per week, Monday through Friday, until Feb. 2.
As for Subway’s deal, all customers have to do is use the eatery’s app or head to its website, add two footlong sandwiches to their cart, and enter the promo code 2FOR1299. This activates the app to only charge for one sandwich at a total price of $12.99, making this the ultimate wallet-friendly deal.
Subway’s promotion is also limited to one per person and cannot be combined with other Subway offers and promos. It excludes sandwiches such as the Beast, The Garlic Roast Beef, and Footlong Snacks, and it’s only available for a limited time.
