Fast food chains are battling to get customers back in their doors with new menu items and new value meals. McDonald’s and Burger King are both launching a new $5 menu. And Wendy’s has a new discounted breakfast meal that lets you score a small seasoned potatoes and a bacon or sausage sandwich for just $3. None of those deals, however, hold a candle — or should we say ketchup packet — to Wendy’s Jr. Bacon Cheeseburger deal next week. Starting May 28th customers will be able to snag one of the iconic burgers for just a penny. Yes, literally 1 cent (and that’s no typo).
In honor of National Hamburger Day, you’ll be able to get a beef patty, applewood smoked bacon, American cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, and mayo at Wendy’s all for an amount of cash you’re likely to find wedged between your car seats.
As you might imagine, the bargain comes with a few caveats. First, you’ll need to have the Wendy’s app or use its website in order to secure the deal, which will be available online only. Using the app requires you to sign up, which requires you to give Wendy’s a small bit of personal information like your name and email address.
You’re also only able to take advantage of the deal once, so if you had dreams of enhancing your water cooler popularity by snagging 100 burgers for the office for a buck, think again. Each customer is entitled to just one of the super-discounted burgers during the promotional period, which runs from May 28th to June 2. You also can’t combine the deal with any other you might have, so you’ll have to save that free Frosty coupon for another time.
