I’d buy that for a dollar.
There’s an old saying, “There’s no such thing as a free lunch.” But some lucky Burger King fans will at least be able to get one item for free.

As the name suggests, every item on the $1 Your Way Menu costs a single dollar, according to Burger King. The menu includes the bacon cheeseburger, Chicken Jr., value fries and a value soft drink.
“We know that value is extremely important to our guests, especially now," said Ellie Doty, the Burger King North America chief marketing officer. "That’s why we set out to create a menu that offers craveable products, like our Bacon Cheeseburger, that can’t be found at the same price anywhere else.”

The concept of a dollar menu isn’t new to fast-food. Several restaurants, including McDonald’s, offered discount items for just a dollar (or 99 cents, they wanted to appear competitive with other chains). These menus eventually morphed into what some chains dubbed "value" menus, where less expensive items would all be grouped together. The launch of Burger King’s Your Way Menu, however, marks the return of a $1 menu.
