Summer food savings: Subway drops sandwich prices
From McDonald's to Chipotle, see which chains are helping people save.
2:08
\"Our marketing guys constantly listen to social media and they hear this chatter about people are really frustrated with the rising fast food prices,\" Hochman said. \"And we were like -- 'why don't we just go directly at them?'\"
Chili's offers an array of deals on dishes, including a 3 for Me value meal that comes with the customer's choice of beverage, appetizer, and main course and rivals some fast food combo meal prices, Hochman explained.
\"We have an almost half-pound burger, fries, unlimited chips and salsa and an unlimited drink for just $10.99, that's less than a lot of combo prices out there,\" he said. \"The last three or four months behind this campaign have been incredible and we're leading the industry in growth.\"
Here's a snapshot of other spots offering up more summer savings.
Starting this week and throughout the rest of summer, Wendy's is offering its iconic Frosty treats for just a buck.
Customers can get a small Frosty for $1 at participating Wendy's restaurants nationwide through September 15.
Earlier this summer the fast-food chain launched a $3 English muffin meal combo on its breakfast menu that comes with a small portion of seasoned potatoes and choice of either a bacon, egg, and cheese English muffin sandwich or a sausage, egg and cheese English muffin sandwich.

Plus, the fast food chain has another longstanding value offer, the $5 Biggie Bag -- a meal deal that includes a choice of one of three sandwiches, spicy or classic chicken nuggets, fries, and a small soft drink.
Sonic launched a new $1.99 menu with an array of items, each for just $1.99, all day, every day.
The menu, nicknamed the FUN.99 Menu, includes Queso Wraps, a Quarter Pound Double Cheeseburger, Chili Cheese Coney, Small Tots, and any of the 12 flavors of Sonic Shakes in a 16-ounce size.
Plus, all Sonic drinks and slushes are half-price for customers who order in the Sonic App.

The popular Seattle-based coffee chain introduced a new drink and breakfast combo starting at just $5.
Customers can order any tall, 12-ounce iced or hot coffee or tea with a butter croissant for $5, or upgrade to any savory breakfast sandwich -- sausage, cheddar and egg sandwich; bacon, gouda and egg sandwich; turkey bacon, cheddar and egg white sandwich; or chicken, maple butter and egg sandwich -- for $6.
Plus, customers can opt for a larger beverage size, or customize the beverage or food, in each pairing for an additional charge.

The Miami-based burger chain confirmed last month to ABC News that it was accelerating value offers with its $5 Your Way deal launching in June.
The deal includes a choice of one of three sandwiches, a Whopper Jr., Chicken Jr. or Bacon Cheeseburger, with chicken nuggets, fries and a soft drink for just $5.

The Golden Arches will soon roll out its new bundle offer that includes four items: a McDouble or McChicken sandwich, small fries, small soft drink and a four-piece Chicken McNuggets for just $5, starting later this month on June 25 for a limited time.
