The convenience and speed of fast food are tempting in the morning, but frequent visits can make it pricey. You can find great breakfast deals if you shop around, but that takes some time. To save you the legwork, we’ve compiled the cheapest fast-food breakfast specials at national chains to make your mornings more wallet-friendly.
Prices and availability are subject to change.
McDonald’s: BOGO for 50 Cents Breakfast Sandwiches
Two breakfast sandwiches won’t cost you much at McDonald’s right now. Check out the “Deals” section of the chain’s app, and you’ll see a coupon for buy one breakfast sandwich, get one for 50 cents. Deals vary by location, so shop around if you have several McD’s near you. Plus, you can grab a $5 sausage McMuffin with egg combo meal off the McValue menu.
Chick-fil-A: $4 Chicken Biscuit
Why would someone go to Chick-fil-A and order anything but the signature fried chicken breast? It’s even available in the morning, and the plain chicken biscuit will only set you back $4. Upgrade it to a spicy chicken biscuit for only a quarter more (and don’t forget the sauce!).
3. Dunkin’: $2 Breakfast Wrap
Dunkin’ is one of the chains that serves fast-food breakfast all day, but it’s not offering as many freebies as it once did. The Offers section of the mobile app shows only a couple of deals: a $2 chipotle hash brown wrap with a drink purchase, and a sandwich, coffee, and hash browns meal for $6.
Taco Bell: $4 Breakfast Crunchwrap
Taco Bell eliminated its $6 Bell Breakfast Box, which was by far the best deal on the morning menu. Hopefully, they’ll add another decent combo soon, but in the meantime, a Breakfast Crunchwrap for $4 (try the California style with eggs, bacon, and guac) is probably your best bet. If a burrito is all you need, you can’t beat the Cheesy Toasted Breakfast Potato Burrito for only $1.
Jack in the Box: Two for $5.50 Croissants
You’ll get double your breakfast for a good price at Jack in the Box in June. You can score two sausage, egg, and cheese breakfast croissant sandwiches for $5.50. Get it all day, because Jack in the Box is one of the fast-food chains with all-day breakfast.
