Breakfast may be the most important meal of the day, but it doesn’t have to drain your budget.

Rising prices have made many people rethink their morning routines, yet fast-food chains are still rolling out affordable specials.

These limited-time offers can make it easier to enjoy a warm meal without overspending.

Whether you’re grabbing coffee on the go or treating the grandkids before school, these deals are worth checking out.

1. McDonald’s: BOGO for 50 Cents on Breakfast Sandwiches​

The Golden Arches are serving up a classic deal: buy one breakfast sandwich, get a second for just 50 cents.

That’s right—Egg McMuffins, Sausage Biscuits, and more, for less than the price of a cup of coffee.

Just check the “Deals” section of the McDonald’s app, as offers can vary by location. And don’t forget the $5 Sausage McMuffin with Egg combo on the McValue menu for a full meal that won’t break the bank.

2. Chick-fil-A: $4 Chicken Biscuit (or Spicy for $4.25)​

Why settle for cereal when you can have a warm, flaky biscuit with Chick-fil-A’s famous fried chicken breast for just $4?

Feeling bold? Upgrade to the spicy version for a quarter more. Pro tip: ask for extra sauce and thank us later.

3. Dunkin’: $2 Breakfast Wrap with Drink Purchase​

Through the Dunkin’ app, snag a $2 chipotle hash brown wrap when you buy a drink.

Or, if you’re extra hungry, grab a sandwich, coffee, and hash browns for $6. Breakfast is served all day, so you can satisfy that craving whenever it strikes.
