    When/where was this? My wife and I just had breakfast sandwiches with sides and drinks, each, a week or so ago and it was like $8 total for both.

      I just checked here online and the cheapest breakfast meal is 6.99 in the middle of flyover country, with the high end being over $8.

        Ah, I checked as well and it was because of BOGO/BOGO1 deals in the mobile app (which seem to be a daily thing). It cost like $5 more to order two meals versus ordering the items individually and triggering BOGO/BOGO1. Brought it down to $9 for both.

        I can’t see prices online without accepting the terms. I refuse.
