I have read, in many places, that in order to survive unemployment, you must give up
eating out. I am fairly certain the people who say this are the same one's who say your children, who have given up going out to movies, birthday presents and new school supplies, don't deserve a simple candy bar at the grocery store.
Mean spirited~judgmental~people, who have given up NOTHING.
A value menu is a group of items on a fast food restaurant menu that are designed to be the least expensive items available. In the US, the items are usually priced between $0.99 and $1.49.
The portion size, and/or number of items included with the food, are usually but not always related to the price. Wikipedia
Our family of four has mastered the art of eating at Arby's for just over $8.00. The lift in spirits and well being, getting away from the drudgery that sometimes is our day, is worth much, much more.
Arby's
Arby's announced the launch of their value menu on April 9, 2010. Items on the value menu vary based on location, but typically include small or value size roast beef sandwiches, curly fries, milkshakes, chicken sandwiches, ham and cheddar sandwiches, and turnovers.
Burger King
Burger King added a value menu in 1998 with items priced at 99¢ (USD). In 2002 and 2006, BK revamped its value menu, adding and removing products at 99¢, and later increasing some prices to $1.39. Many of these items have since been discontinued, modified or relegated to a regional menu option.
McDonald's
After numerous attempts beginning in 1991, experimenting with a variety of menus and pricing strategies, McDonald's launched its first national value menu, the Dollar Menu, in late 2002.
Taco Bell
In 1988, Taco Bell lowered the prices of all new items and launched the first three-tiered pricing strategy and free drink refills.
Wendy's
Wendy's is generally credited with being the first fast food chain to offer a value menu in October 1989, with every item priced at $0.99.
