- A 12-count of Nuggets at $7.79 works out to $0.65 per piece against $0.79 for a 5-count — the sensible order size for anyone eating properly.
- An Icedream cone at $1.85 is the cheapest dessert at any major chain, and a large sweet tea at $2.79 undercuts most drive-thru drinks.
Wingstop
- Boneless wings cost roughly 30% less than bone-in for the same count — a 10-piece boneless at $9.49 against $12.99 classic.
- Group and family packs bring the per-wing price down about 15% against ordering the same count in smaller portions.
- All twelve flavours cost the same, so Louisiana Rub and Lemon Pepper are no cheaper or dearer than Hot Honey Rub — pick on taste alone.
