Grab Breakfast For A Penny At This North Carolina Fast Food Chain

Have you noticed like I have that breakfast is having a moment in 2024. I'm seeing more and more commercials from fast food chains promoting their breakfast than ever before.  A lot of fast-food chains, fine dining restaurants, and supermarkets focusing on breakfast and brunch offerings. Now I'm hearing you can grab breakfast for just a penny at this North Carolina fast food chain. Next week Burger King will offer breakfast for just one cent! I'd say that's getting the "we're not just a lunch and dinner spot" point across!

The fast food breakfast trend, reportedly was influenced by changes in eating habits during the pandemic. That paired with the dredded economic impact of inflation and recession fears This positions breakfast as a more affordable option compared to lunch for fast food establishments.

Aiming to capitalize on this trend, Burger King is offering its Croissan’wiches (croissant breakfast sandwiches) for just one cent on January 30th, in celebration of National Croissant Day. All customers have to do to take advantage of this offer is place a minimum order of $1 online or through the app during breakfast hours.

So basically if you're not already you have to become a BK rewards member. Simple enough. I already set a siri reminder about the breakfast for a penny deal. Because at BK you can have it your way! For just one cent!  (Now the song is stuck in you head!)

By the way on a completely other note, I noticed Burger King is taking a swipe at McDonald's in a new fake documentary on youtube. They couldn't allow McDonald Island to exist without having some fun. Check it out...

Everyone knows that inflation has hit fast-food chains really hard. Even though sticker shock is prevalent, there are still some good deals to be had if you look closely. I just paid 10 dollars for the chicken sandwich meal at Burger King! 10 dollars! Value menu items are usually the best place to start saving money. The website EatThis,NotThat! has found the best fast-food burgers that you can still get for under $5 dollars.

A lot of fast-food chains offer specialty burgers with unique ingredients or flavor combinations. These usually include items like barbecue sauce, mushrooms, avocado, different types of cheese, or various condiments. Even french fries! Those burgers and combos usually get expensive. My favorite burgers are from Wendy's or McDonald's.

Make sure you sign up for discount emails and check the restaurant's apps for all the deals they offer.

Here’s a list of burgers under 5 dollars. These places are in Charlotte. I've also added the nutritional info, because you know when you're eating fast food you want it to be as healthy as possible! Haha.  (prices may vary depending on your location):
