Michiganders are looking for a break financially, but with stagnant wages and price hikes for so many products, that break seems less and less likely to come. Many Michiganders have had to take a step back and avoid extra spending as much as possible. Usually, one of the first things to go to salvage the budget is eating out.

Of course, in 2025, fast food can be a bit cheaper than you may realize. Most chains have an app that is full of rewards and freebies. A trip to McDonald's or Taco Bell can feel like 2013 again with the savings on offer. Still, Michiganders have to keep an eye on those menus, too, because one of those restaurants is included on the list below.
