Except you can get a Duo meal for $7 at Panera that's soup sandwhich and chips and that's 3$ cheaper than McDonald's

I’ve never met an Panera that has everything in stock, so you’re going to be making a second or third line choice. One of your items is guaranteed to be out. Regular sandwiches, god knows why, are $14.

I used to love Panera back in high school, which was early 2000's. As someone who hung out with friends at a movie theater on weekends it was the best place to eat at in the same strip mall. I still remember getting sandwiches for $4 or $5 at the time. If I was in high school today there is no way I could eat there, and if I could I also couldn't justify spending that much. I feel like they are scrambling as well, changing a lot, making products worse, adding items nobody wants, just trying to hit big with one of them. My wife really wanted to try the new caprese sandwich they have, we were dying when she got it and all you saw was bread... when she opened it up there was like 1 slice of tomato and 1 slice of mozzarella and it was the saddest sandwich I've ever seen. I thought it was hilarious until I realized we paid over $10 for that joke...

Sharing the pic so everyone else can join in on the laugh. Bad sandwich

My biggest gripe with them is they always add one hipster element that totally ruins the sandwich. Oh you want a high end grilled cheese? How about we put a blackberry reduction in that bitch? Grilled chicken sandwich? Why not try one with our new habanero peach marmalade?

Lol no you can't. I didn't believe you, so I checked. $11.79, and that's for mostly cheaper options of the pick 2 (broccoli cheddar + frontega chicken). And I live in Missouri, where shit's cheap.

Sorry, they are called Duets, not duos. They still come with apple/bread/chips. You cant sub anything out, but it's still a good portion for healthier fast food option.

[–] Organichedgehog@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

Whoopsie doodle. Well $8 ain't $7 either.

But yea I'm shocked there's anything reasonably priced @ Panera.

[–] citrusface@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

They must have gone up in the past few months. It was 6.99 last I got them I thought. Oh well! Still cheaper than a big mac or whopper

[–] Organichedgehog@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Last time I tried to get fast food was like 2 or 3 months ago. I went to Taco Bell, saw that the beefy 5 layer burrito was like $4.50, and just left the drive through. Fuck all that

[–] citrusface@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

Taco Bell is my go to - I am vegetarian so my opinions are slim. But for $7 I can't get a crunch wrap with black beans, a cheesey bean and rice burrito, and a fiesta potato and a drink with thier app combo. Then after every other meal (like every to weeks) I get a bonus something. So. Yeah, I only mess with the build your own cravings box... 9 dollars for 3 tacos and a drink is ridiculous.
