Deals Worth Knowing at Both
Bojangles
- Bojangles serves breakfast all day at most locations, so the $5.29 Cajun Filet Biscuit is available at dinner time too.
- An 8-piece family meal at $32.99 works out to roughly half the per-person cost of ordering Big Bo Boxes individually.
- A gallon of Legendary sweet tea at $6.49 is cheaper than three large drinks.
Krystal
- The Sackful Combo at about $15.99 is only $1 more than a plain bag of 12 Krystals, so the fries and drink cost a dollar — never buy the bag alone if you want sides.
- Krystal regularly runs game-day and app deals that drop a bag of 8 or 12 well below menu price; check the Krystal app before ordering.
- A Pup at $1.99 or a Corn Pup is a cheaper filler than a second slider plus fries.
