The Meal Deals
The Meal Deal is DQ's main value offer: a Cheeseburger or 3-Piece Chicken Strip meal for one price, $7.00 at the typical restaurant. The same main on the regular menu costs $4.19 (Original Cheeseburger) or $6.99 for the 4-Piece Basket, so the deal pays off as soon as you would add fries and a drink.
The $6.99 Chicken Strip Basket and Mix & Match
The 4-Piece Chicken Strip Basket — strips, fries, Texas toast and gravy — was $6.99 wherever it was listed as a deal; the FlameThrower version costs the same. The Mix & Match menu ($5.00) lets you pair small items; what you can pick varies by restaurant.
