For a diabetic the McD $ menu works the best. DH and I can eat for about $5 and that includes his chocolate shake (not on the $ menu). It keeps me under my carb count as well. We never order off the regular menu. After reading EAT THIS, NOT THAT I checked Wendy’s (ok), Taco Bell, Taco Johns, DQ (food tastes awful, ice cream is good) Culvers etc. McD won for taste, price, and carb count.

YAY – we support Culver’s too b/c we went to that same U! But yes, we occasionally eat at the Golden Arches too. We can feed our family of 4 for less than $2 each. We share one fry and each get a sandwich. We drink water…as for Culver’s, it’s sort of a church thing too. A lot of people go there to socialize after service on Saturdays. We haven’t been lately since the kids have an early bedtime, but I think saving up to socialize is worth it sometimes.

Dairy Queens around the country now have an great deal. you can choose between 9 items, you get 2 for $3, 3 for $4 and 4 for $5. Dairy Queens have some of the best quality fast food around IMO.

Pretty much ONLY eat fast food if we’re stuck on day two of a long car ride (or on the way back from someone’s house on a multi-hour car ride). Normally I just pack snacks for the car.

I don’t feel “guilty” about eating fast food, but I don’t like a lot of it. Yesterday morning I had the McDonald’s breakfast plate, and those scrambled eggs are among the most disgusting things I’ve ever eaten.

I do eat at times at some chains such as Taco Bell, Quizno (best chain sandwich shop around), and Tim Horton’s.

If you live in California, then you can find excellent dollar menus at McDonald’s, Jack In The Box, Wendy’s, and now even Taco Bell, among many many others.

Personally I recommend Jack In The Box – if only just for the $1 chicken sandwiches

We usually try not to eat fast food. I read the book Fast Food Nation (which I think everyone should read) in college and have a problem with a lot of things with the fast food industry. However, sometimes it is neccessary for us to grab something either in a pinch (usually on vacation) or to tide us over until we get done running errands and can cook dinner.

We have a chain called Taco Bueno which is a lot like Taco Bell, but the quality (IMO) is MUCH better! They have a “party menu” which has many items less than $1. Normally one bean burrito will fill me up and so that is a wonderful thing to grab on the go with lots of protein to keep me from getting too run down or crabby

I don’t like your poll choices! lol But you know I think outside the box.

I can count on one hand the times we’ve stopped to eat out in the last year. Probably half of those times were MickyDs for celebratory ice cream sundaes.

Subway has $5 footlong subs and I get two lunches out of that. Not quite a dollar, not quite fast food but still pretty fast and pretty cheap.
