Fast food chains are already cheaper than most restaurants, but when your budget doesn't have a lot of love to give—usually around petsa de peligro—sometimes you really just need the most affordable item on the menu.
Cosmo went to five fast food chains—McDonald's, Jollibee, KFC, Chowking, and Bon Chon—to figure out which item that is. Our exact words were: "Ano yung pinakamura na meal sa menu?" The follow-up question usually asked for a specific category, but we stressed that it didn't matter what it was, it just had to be the cheapest meal.
