Fast food prices have been getting higher and higher in 2024, leaving beloved fans feeling frustrated at the prospect of not being able to afford their favorite treats.

Fast food fans across the nation have been hit by the recent inflation of their favorite foods, and in a recent study, it was found that a third of Americans now consider fast food a ‘luxury’.

To combat this, other chains have been launching value menus, including Burger King and McDonald’s. Now, Jack In The Box is coming to the rescue with their version of a value menu, following in the footsteps of fast food chains around the country.

‘Jack’s Munchies Under $4’ menu features 13 items, making it more extensive than most, and includes sandwiches, tacos, sides, and even something sweet.

The menu will launch on June 3 and be a permanent fixture from here on out. But, what can you expect to find?
