Burger King under $5: what fits
Under $5 the trick is two small items rather than one mid-sized sandwich. A Hamburger ($2.89) plus 4 pc. nuggets ($2.49) comes to $5.38; a Royal Crispy Wrap ($3.89) or 10 pc. nuggets ($4.99) fit on their own. A Whopper Jr. costs $4.89, just under the line.
Budget rules of thumb
- Under $5: two small items beat one bigger sandwich — more food, more protein.
- Around $10: a Whopper Jr. Meal ($10.89) gives you the classic meal; 10 pc. nuggets and a Double Cheeseburger give you more protein for about the same money.
- Around $20: enough for two light meals, or one meal and dessert.
- For a group: the bundles have fixed prices ($16.99 to $39.99) and are worth comparing with individual meals.
