Low-Cost Munchies Satisfaction

If you're like me then there are many times later at night when you're up doing homework, writing a paper, or studying and you get the thunderous rumble of hunger rolling in you're midsection. When this sense of near starvation crashes upon you like high tide on a rocky Pacific coast shoreline, it is difficult, for me at least, to satisfy my hunger with just one item. 

When I recently experienced one of these rebellious stomach uprisings, I weighed my options. I thought to myself, “Do I want to get a burger? A taco? A chicken sandwich?” Keep in mind that in these late-night situations, you want something quick so that you don’t lose time studying and force yourself to stay up even later to make up for the lost time.

I threw caution to the wind and decided that I wanted both a burger and a chicken sandwich, and since I’m not the biggest McDonald’s fan I chose to go to Wendy’s.

Here’s my receipt:

As you can see (kind of), I got a cheeseburger, a chicken sandwich, and a side of small fries for under $4. If we’re being honest though, I ordered a jr. bacon cheeseburger instead of a jr. cheeseburger so that’s probably the reason why it was under. Triquon getting my order wrong actually ended up saving me a few extra cents, which never hurts. I didn't order a drink because I usually just end up getting water, which doesn't cost me anything anyway. 

I ordered straight from their "Right Price Right Size" menu, which is below. 

Nothing on this menu is above $2.09, so it is very affordable for someone who's on a budget trying to get some brain fuel for studying. Fastfoodmenuprices.com has a great, more in depth breakdown of the entire Wendy's menu and here's an even better listicle breakdown of how to save money at Wendy's. 

Now that you're full from using the value menu, you're saving money and that will definitely help you sleep at night.
