ICYMI - In Search of a Value Meal: Why a KFC Bucket Now Costs Seventy Five Dollars

An eight piece bucket at KFC runs thirty four dollars in Canada right now, and the family size version tops seventy five. Shane Hewitt & the Nightshift went hunting for where fast food still counts as a deal, using a Canadian YouTuber's breakdown that ranked every major chain's value meal and landed on a surprise winner in Wendy's.

Tim Hortons came out as the clear budget champion, with a bagel, large coffee, and hash brown totalling nine dollars for a genuinely filling breakfast. Shane Hewitt & the Nightshift also tracked down a site called Price My Meal that compares meal costs across chains by country, showing McDonald's, Burger King, and Wendy's all landing within a couple dollars of each other.

The bigger picture: fast food prices are up three to five percent year over year, and a burger, fries, and drink now costs about the same as a sit-down meal at a local sandwich shop.
