With the unavoidable inflation, almost all products, including those in fast food chains, are increasing in price, and with this, some are questioning if eating in a fast food chain that we grew up with is still worth it. We all know that these chains are popular not only because of how good the food is but also because of their affordability back then.
That’s why popular food chains are now offering affordable meals and discounts for us to enjoy. Let’s talk about the fast food discounts you can enjoy this coming summer of 2024! 🏖️

10. Shake Shack Free Shake with $10 Min Spend
Let’s start our summer discount list with Shake Shack’s “Afternoon Free Shake with $10 Min” promo. You can grab this limited-time offer through the Shake Shack mobile app or through their official website–https://shakeshack.com. The promo can be enjoyed between 2 PM and 5 PM PST until June 26, 2024.
To get this promo, use the code ‘FAVESHAKE’ when ordering at least $10 worth of any food or drinks from the fast food joint’s menu. You can choose items such as burgers, sandwiches, chicken bites, fries, hotdogs, shakes, drinks, frozen custards, poochinis, and even bag o’ bones. Take note that gift cards cannot be used in this offer.
9. Papa John’s 25% Off Entire Order
The SM25 discount is back for summer! We’ve tested this deal, and it looks like Papa John’s is now allowing this discount at most locations.
Get 25% off your entire order (excluding specials). If SM25 doesn’t work, we were also told that BIZ30 works in various locations, or you are guaranteed to have 20OFFAD for 20% off your entire order.
8. Subway’s Buy One Footlong, Get 50% Off the Second
Love Footlong? Enjoy this Subway summer promo of Buy one get one footlong when you order through their mobile app using the code ‘BOGO50’ starting May 14 until June 11. This offer can be redeemed only by app and online users and not for Subways’ physical stores. The 50% discount applies to the sub of equal or lower price. If you want add-ons, it’ll cost an additional fee. Take note that no additional discounts can be applied and are limited to the U.S. only.
7. McDonald’s Free Fries Every Friday
Want fries every week? Grab the opportunity to get free medium fries at McDonald’s every Friday with any purchase of at least $1 or more! This promo can be enjoyed through their mobile app only, so make sure to download it. This summer promo is valid until December 31, 2024, so you can have a lot of free fries to enjoy! Make sure that you’re a qualified rewards app user.
So far, so good? We’re only getting started; make sure to screenshot this or take notes ‘cause the next summer discounts will give you more affordable options!
6. Wendy’s Free 10-Piece Nuggets
Download the app or visit Wendy’s official site and create a new Rewards account to grab a FREE 10-piece Chicken Nugget offer with any purchase! Not only that, this promo can earn you 200 bonus reward points from your first order. These points can be redeemed for a Frosty drink or a 4-piece Chicken Nugget reward later on.
5. Burger King $5 Value Meal
We’re now on the exciting half of the summer discounts, which are the value meals! Burger King has announced that it will be re-releasing its popular $5 value meal called “$5 Your Way Meal” this summer, an answer to the confirmed McDonald’s value meal, which we’ll be talking about later on. This value meal includes a small sandwich, which could be either a Bacon Cheeseburger or a Whopper Jr of your choice, and partnered with chicken nuggets and fries along with a drink. There’s no confirmed date as to when this promo will last, but the sure thing is it will be available longer than McDonald’s confirmed end date.
4. Wendy’s $3 Breakfast Deal
Up next is Wendy’s $3 Breakfast Deal to start your day right! With this promo, you can choose between a savory Bacon, Egg, and Cheese English Muffin or a Sausage, Egg, and Cheese English Muffin. Either of the two comes with a small portion of seasoned potatoes—all this for only $3! Make sure to grab this promo during breakfast hours, as it will only be available at that particular time. You can only grab this promo through the Wendy’s app. Please note that this offer does not include a drink.
3. McDonald’s $5 Value Meal
Now, we’ve mentioned that Burger King confirmed its value meal after McDonald’s release. But which is a better value meal? This coming June 25, as the summer enters, McDonald’s is set to offer a limited-time $5 value meal that includes a McDouble or a McChicken sandwich, four-piece Chicken McNuggets, a small order of fries, and a small drink. It’s somewhat similar to BK, right? The only thing that I think BK will have its advantage is the availability, ‘cause even if McDonald’s will offer this at the end of June, we can only enjoy it at the end of July, or at least a month.
2. KFC’s $5 Value Meal
Yet another $5 Value meal comes from Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC). The fast food chain will offer a value meal that comes with two pieces of chicken, one thigh, and one drumstick in your breading style of choice, a side of mashed potatoes with gravy, and a biscuit, all for $4.99. Take note, though, that this promo does not include a drink. This promo, even though it seems less than the other two, is okay when you think of having a side and a biscuit.
One thing this promo has that the other two don’t is that you can enjoy it until the end of the year! Pretty cool, right? Another bonus summer deal that you might be interested in is that you can have a free delivery every Sunday starting June 2. So, for a much better experience, try to grab this summer value meal every Sunday!
1. Buffalo Wild Lings Unlimited Boneless Wings
Of all the summer discounts we’ve discussed, I think this is the best we can have. Starting May 13, 2024, Buffalo Wild Wings offers unlimited boneless wings for $19.99 only! This special deal is available on Mondays and Mondays only, so mark your calendars. Plus, this includes fries, too. Just take note that the promo is dine-in only and cannot be combined with other discount offers. You can choose from 26 different sauces and seasonings, including popular flavors like Garlic Parmesan or Mango Habanero.
There you have it! The best summer discounts and deals you can grab at the nearest fast food chains in your area. What’s your fast food choice? Whether you want value meals or unlimited food, It’s safe to say that having this kind of discount really gives us the opportunity to enjoy our long time favorites at a cheaper price.
