From The Club
I love how brands get to offer deals on some of their fan-favorite dishes at a time when everyone is stressed out. As a customer and consumer, this move helps me connect with my favorite fast food chains because I feel like they understand how hard it is to live in this economy. These deals, no matter what type they are, are already a big help, especially with our savings and how we manage our finances.
