Fast food prices

Thanks, @rotuts.    We often/usually have fast food or taco truck lunches en route to and from the country.    We have found that at fast food places, splitting a sandwich and fries, with a drink for dh, is correct for us.    Our two favorites are Carl's Jr. Santa Fe chicken, which is grilled, not fried, or Burger King's Big Fish, a large fried fish fillet with lettuce, cheese and tartar sauce.    I can't get my arms around the pricing on published lists since our tab at either place hovers between $12 and $13, for one sandwich on the meal deal (I.e., plus fries and huge drink).     We don't quibble since these serve us well as junk splurges, but it is puzzling.    We do periodically play the system by using coupons for a 2 for meal.    Like 2 Jr. Whoppers + 2 medium fries for $5.49.    Woohoo!   Such a deal!

Here, BK seems to advertise once a month in those mailed flyers.   

Also Subway, but less frequently -> $3.99 6" sub.   Subway is a good "have it your way" sandwich but is huge, and one every month or so is enough.   

My subway order: Italian deli meat (pepperoni, salami and ham) on fresh whole grain sub, pepper jack cheese, toasted, then added lettuce, tomato, red onion, large handful of jalapeno and dill pickle chips, mayo, chipotle mayo.    DH's is much more refined.
