Family Meal Deals

With people feeling thriftier, many fast-food and fast-casual restaurants have created cheap family meal deals.

Prices and availability are subject to change.

1. McDonald's: $20 40-Piece McNugget Meal

Who doesn't love a bunch of McNuggets? Check your McDonald's app this month, because you can order a family pack of 40 McNuggets and two large fries for $20. If you're really lucky, you might live in an area where the deal has been spotted recently for the insanely low price of $15. It'll feed two really hungry adults or a small pack of ravenous kids.

2. Taco Bell: $25 Meal for 4

Taco Bell just announced many of its new 2024 items, but none are meant for crowds. Luckily, there's still a meal-for-four deal that's $25. You get two Crunchwrap Supremes, two chicken quesadillas, four soft tacos, and two orders of chips and nacho cheese sauce.


For under 18 bucks you can nab a Taco and Burrito Cravings Pack, which includes four crunchy or soft tacos and four Beefy 5-Layer Burritos, making it an ideal family meal. There are also Taco Party Packs with a dozen tacos of your choice.

3. Domino's: $7 Mix and Match Deal

The best long-running meal deal at Domino's is the $7 Mix and Match. You need to order at least two items, but you can get as many as you want from choices such as medium two-topping pizzas, salads, and stuffed cheesy bread, so it's endlessly customizable. You can get the deal whether you pick up your pizzas or get them delivered.


There's also the Perfect Combo for $20, which includes two medium one-topping pizzas, 16-piece parmesan bread bites, 8-piece cinnamon twists, and a 2-liter of soda.

The $12 mix-and-match deal is gone at Burger King, but you can still get a pretty good deal on a family-sized meal. Head to BK's offers page and snag a $30 Ultimate Bundle with two Whoppers, two original chicken sandwiches, 16 chicken nuggets, two small fries, and two small drinks. There's also a $22 bundle that omits the fries and drinks.

15. Little Caesars: $6–$7 Large Pizzas

While the price of Little Caesars Hot 'n Ready and Extra Most Bestest pizzas have gone up a dollar in most places since the pandemic started, they're still one of the best deals in pizza. We think the extra buck for the Extra Most Bestest is worth the extra cheese and toppings.
