- Meal deals and value meals are more important to fast-food chains than ever.
- I tried Dunkin’s $6 meal when it debuted earlier in the fall.
- I decided to try four other fast-food chains’ breakfast meals to see how they compared.
The fast-food wars are going strong, and brands are adding deals and value meals to their menus to attract customers who are feeling the pinch.
In August, Dunkin’ became the latest chain to add a meal deal when it launched its $6 breakfast. I tried it after its release and was so impressed by its 50% discount that I wanted to try other fast-food breakfast meals to see how they stacked up.
I visited Taco Bell, McDonald’s, Wendy’s, and Burger King to see which chain had the best food for the best price. My meals ranged from $4 to $8, and each included a sandwich, a drink, and a side.
Here’s what I thought of each breakfast and how I ranked them, from worst to best.
