Starting June 3, Jack in the Box will offer a $4 value menu, directly challenging McDonald's and Burger King's $5 meals.
Jack in the Box Takes on McDonald's and Burger King with $4 Value Menu
Recently, McDonald's announced its $5 value meal, which will be available in June. Burger King, in turn, announced its $5 "Your Way Meal." According to a press statement from the company, on Monday, June 3, Jack in the Box, a chain restaurant famous for its tacos, burgers, and curly fries, will introduce a variety of "munchies" priced under $4.
Jack in the Box is the most recent fast food chain to announce a discounted meal option. It follows weeks after McDonald's and Burger King declared their intention to launch a $5 meal offer at franchise locations nationwide next month. Wendy's has also joined the trend by introducing a breakfast combo for $3, which consists of a seasoned potato and a sandwich.
The effort is made to attract consumers experiencing sticker shock due to the price increase since 2019.
$4 Munchies Menu Offers Variety at Lower Prices
The most recent menu addition at Jack in the Box offers an assortment of options for less than $4.
Beginning Monday, June 3, the menu will be accessible to patrons via drive-thru lanes, online platforms, and the Jack in the Box application.
USA Today shares that the "munchies" menu will always be available alongside the main offerings. Fan favorites in snack format, such as chicken sandwiches, curly fries, and tiny tacos, are available for "insane prices."
You can choose from the Jr. Jumbo Jack, made with 100% beef, the four-piece chicken nuggets, the three-piece French toast sticks, or the five-piece bite-sized Tiny Tacos served with creamy avocado lime sauce. You can also get two crunchy tacos, a Jr. Chicken Sandwich on a toasted bakery bun, a Jr. Cheeseburger with ketchup and mayo, or the Jr. Bacon Cheeseburger.
"With great deals and more ways to save, consumers can always count on satisfying their cravings at Jack in the Box − without needing to sacrifice their fave items," the company says.
