Burger King

The BK app runs near-permanent BOGO Whopper and 2-for-$10 offers; paying board price for a Whopper is close to a mistake.
The $5 Your Way Meal covers a Whopper Jr., nuggets, fries and a drink for less than a Whopper alone.
Onion rings cost the same as fries at $3.39 medium and are the more distinctive side — Burger King is one of the few national chains to carry them.

Jack in the Box

Two tacos for $1.79 is the cheapest hot food at any major chain, and they are available 24 hours a day.
The Munchie Meal at $12.49 bundles an entree, two sides, two tacos and a drink — roughly $5 less than buying the same items separately.
