Dude, you can get a bunch of damn food at Panda Express for under $15.

I am on the road 26+ weeks out of the year, and Panda Express is my per diem saver.

I like pretty much everything on the menu except the egg rolls. The spring rolls are much better.

Let's be honest here, it's costing you WAY more than that.

$14 for the buffet and another $1.50+ for a drink and add tax and your suggestion only confirms the OP's idea.

By “best value” do you mean poor people food?

For us it's BK. If it's all 6 of us I'll get the Family Bundle and two long chicken sammiches(yes you can use two coupons). Feeds everyone with some leftovers for about $26 with tax. And if they want drinks we go to RaceTrack across the street where x-large fountain drinks are $1 when you scan the RaceTrack App.

I'm even cheaper at home.
This is my go-to to feed everyone for around $10.
Costco runs deals on ~6 lb pork loins for around $9. We use half of this for one meal for family.

$4.50(half of this 6 lb pork lern)


paired with .
$3 family size of taters(the big box is even cheaper)


$3 big arse bag of frozen mixed veggies

The $2 for any breakfast sammich deal on the McDonalds app is money. Very little of it.

Yep. the 2 chickens was $4.99 for a long time. That was me and the gf's go-to. Everything costs so much more now.

I have heard that you can get a lot of free items using the McDonald's app.


The good news is that you get free stuff. The bad news is that the free stuff is from McDonald's.
