Even though fast food restaurants are known for inexpensive options, feeding a whole family can still end up putting a pinch on your budget if you are not careful with the selections. There are, however, a few ways to save those pennies while still having a blast on National Fast Food Day.
Most fast food places offer a deeply discounted portion of their menu featuring some of their most popular, long-standing items. When planning your National Fast Food Day banquet, start with the dollar menu section to see how low you can go with the final total at the window.
Why not share some of the supersized items and save a few bucks? Often it is more cost-effective to purchase one large item instead of three small portions of that same item, so consider hitting the drive-thru for those larger portions, bringing them home and getting creative with a sort of fast food charcuterie board for family and friends to share.
Have some family fun by making a big event out of National Fast Food Day.
