As the temperatures outside continue to rise, the fast-food value menu wars are heating up too.
From McDonald’s new $5 deals to Taco Bell’s limited-time Luxe Cravings Box, there’s no shortage of bargains to choose from this summer, and while big fast-food chains are racing to win back customers lost to rising prices, consumers appear to be reaping the rewards, at least for now.
From $3 breakfast combos to new staples, the summer sale covers breakfast, lunch, dinner and more, all for under $10 per person.
