i dont know about you guys but once every few weeksish my mom will just slip me a 5 spot and tell me to have a nice meal by myself. i like to mix it up a bit but i find that this is my best option:

jack in the box-
2 big cheeseburgers (not on the menu but its just a bigger cheeseburger with ketchup and mustard)
1 chicken sandwich
2 tacos.

total- $4.94, and the extra 6 cents for gas of course.

anyone else know any good deals?

well it'll be the combo of a polar pop plus 3 mc chickens, or 3 double cheese (with only pickle, shred, and mac sauce. its a big mac for a dollar) and a crispy ranch snack wrap.

In my recent trip to Indonesia, I realized a dollar is an expensive meal. Seriously, you could get a HUGE plate of nasi goreng (essentially fried rice w/ chicken and a fried egg) for about 75 cents american.

wow, that sucks that all 5 dollars will only get most of you fast food. you guys should search around. there's still plenty of non-chains that don't charge 9 dollars for a burger. the best 5 dollar meal i've ever had is a breakfast burrito from down on glen, in jackson. if you're ever here you gotta get it.

FUCK, I gotta go there right now.
This thread is making me sooooo hungry.
When I get baked and go to Jack in the Crack I usually cop 3 chicken sandwiches and 2 double burgs and it's like $5 and some change, but since I use my friends change it's only $5 to me.

$1.39 "value menu" in canada
vs. $1.00 "value menu" in the states (at McDicks)
When the dollar is hovering around par I don't see the lack of evidence that we are getting screwed
