Good meal deals out in the restaurants?

Anybody know some great cheap things you can get out there? heres a few i know of:



-Papa Murphy's : The large stuffed pizza, its 15 dollars flat, and you can add as much topping as you want, with no extra charge. I got it, added tons of bacon, extra cheese, sausage, pepperoni, green peppers, and was still 15 dollars. Now the great part of it, is it tastes SOO good, and 1 large stuffed pizza WILL feed your whole family. Our family of 5, all big eaters, can't finish a whole one.



- Taco Bell: On the 2 dollar menu, deal 4, the beef and cheese burrito. what you do is buy this, it comes with 1 burrito, a bag of doritos, and a medium drink. Then you add in another beef and cheese burrito for 99 cents. So 3 dollars total. These things are huge, when my uncle told me, i could believe him, im like cmon 2 wimpy burritos wont fill me up, boy was i wrong. They filled me up lol. Good deal there, this also fed my whole family for 15 dollars.



So what amazing deals do you know?Good meal deals out in the restaurants?
Start with cheap: McDonald's McDouble (still $1 in our area), 2 beef patties, 1 slice of cheese, you won't miss the 2nd slice of cheese and save $0.30. Get it with tartar sauce instead of the standard ketchup and mustard. It comes out tasting more like their Big Mac that way.

CiCi's pizza, nothing outstanding, but good variety and all you can eat for $4. Does not include drinks, but it does include their dessert pizzas. And you can get some toppings you've never thought of before.

Best value, in my opinion, is Cracker Barrel's hamburger. Nobody orders it, but it is huge, juicy, and delicious. They use bread-and-butter pickles instead of dill, so it gives the sandwich a real homey taste. Around $6, if I remember correctly.

Finally, I used to help my wife run her Dairy Queen in a food court, so when we got tired of the same old mall food, we would buy a bowl of white rice from the oriental food restaurant and have them add a ladle of won ton soup broth to make a filling concoction that only cost around a buck. You might try buying a bowl of won ton soup and having them add all the steamed white rice that it will absorb. Sometimes that is easier to describe to the help.

Finally, an old favorite of mine: Wendy's baked potato and a bowl of their chili. Get them individually and combine them at the table so you don't end up with more broth than chili. About $2. (Did you know that all fast food joints have to throw out their cooked hamburgers after 20 minutes? Wendy's was able to become successful overnight because they use the old hamburgers to make the chili, so there's no waste.)
