      The Mexican restaurant down the street is cheaper than Taco Bell, minus the tip. I’m fine dropping an extra $5.

              We have a local chain called hothead burritos, they’re brick and mortar similar to Chipotle but they usually sell tacos for $3.50, but they do taco Tuesdays for $2.50. I get those fairly often, it is by FAR the best deal on tacos around here.

      I have found recently that I’m perfectly satisfied with a single cheeseburger and a diet soda. Still costs $4. 3.50 with the free drink, or $2 with a free cheeseburger coupon using points. Both require the app.

          Yeah, it sucks and I have 30 dang apps, but you really do get some decent discounts that bring the price back down to pre-pandemic prices.

              I couldn’t afford to eat out if it wasn’t for apps and rewards. I hate it but the choice is between never going to a restaurant, or using their app. I usually save at least 30-50%. Sometimes it’s free. I have 3 1/2 kids to feed though too, so saving is essential.
