What counts as a fast food special?
A fast food special is a lower price that anyone can order without a code: a value menu, a $5 or $7 meal deal, a limited time item at an intro price, or a deal that repeats on one day each week like Whopper Wednesday. Specials are printed on the menu board or in the app, so you only need to ask for them.
Discounts that need a code, an app offer or a voucher are on our fast food coupons page. For afternoon discounts, check restaurant happy hours like Sonic and Steak 'n Shake.
