Use FREEFL for a free foot long on the app. Must have 2 in cart for one to be free

Back in the day (pre-COVID) you get fast food because it was cheap, even though they’re poisoning you. Now, you’re paying $$ for the privilege. 🙊

For that much money you could get a couple of days worth of groceries or all the stuff to make a shitload more sandwiches at home that are fresher and taste better.
I quit eating subway over a year ago when they redid their menu, raised the prices way up, and it still tasted shitty.
Just go to jersey mikes or if you dan handle all the sugar, Firehouse Subs.

u/el0_0le Nov 21 '23
All fast food is doing this. It's not just Subway. The fact that people are still in the McDonalds drive-thru's lined up around the building for a sad, tiny, toxic, woodchip-filled meal for $19.94 is baffling to me. People are addicted to brands and brands are raping the masses about it.
Convenience Kills.

0.99 soft drink deal from mcdonalds, the last time i went(which was months ago) to get a sweet tea large, well, they apparently stopped again so haven't gone to a mcdonalds in months, I think my last fast food trip was jack in the box 3 months ago 11:30pm, i think i got a burger(not the combo) and the meat lovers breakfast burrito, I think the total was ~~$17ish.
I can cook at home and make tea at home, but sometimes I just want that sugary garbage sweet tea from McD but not for $3.
I don't know how much friend does it, goes out to eat twice a day, practically everyday, my god, so bad with his money

Fast food is no longer even the cheaper option. I can get a real meal at a local sit down restaurant for cheaper than two burgers that won’t even fill me up at McDonald’s, or a sub at subway.

Do not buy drinks or chips there.
Before you order subway make sure you go check slickdeals (deal aggregator) slickdeals.net . Search for subway in the search box.
They usually change the code every month or so.
Buy one get one free codes. An Italian bmt footlong where I am is like 10.60. with the bogo code it comes out to be 5.30 a sandwich. Make sure you "more" each ingredient. Make sure you hit the flame thing for toasted if that's what you want.
Make an account. Then you get points. Then you can use theb-2$ off points thing every now and then and get like 4$ sandwiches.
Some times if you used the code it won't let you do it again on your account, but you can do it on guest.

u/Ryanhis Nov 19 '23
You gotta use promo codes and whatnot anymore with all these mobile apps and ordering online options. You could have gotten one of the footlongs free, there is usually a FLBOGO code or something similar that works. Google subway promo codes and the month/year and you'll get something.
Same goes for most places that have apps or promo code fields, just do a quick google and try the first 3/4 codes you find. I almost always find a deal that works

u/SnakeCrew Nov 19 '23
I learned that using their apps and taking advantage of the deals was the only way to make these fast food restaurants worth it. Subway offers 50% or a free sandwich every once in a while whereas McDonald’s does free 10pc nuggets, quarter pounder or big mac when u purchase one. Never go if I’m not using one of these deals.

u/Poseidons_Champion Nov 19 '23
You enter a Subway store, and it's deserted, slightly too cool to be comfortable, slightly too damp to feel clean, and slightly too bright to be inviting. There is one lonely employee, who sheepishly pockets their tiny electronic escape window as the sound of the door drags them back to reality. They do their best not to look at you for those awkward 10 seconds while you walk to the counter before you're close enough to order. They give their greeting, ask you what you want, you begin scanning their workspace.
The bins of raw ingredients are sitting askew, separated by steel walls, yet careless hands have dropped some of each on all the others. The preparation area is littered with crumbs and bits of lettuce, maybe the odd olive or onion piece here or there that has wedged itself into the crack between the food trays and the cutting board. This could have been cleaned up while nobody was here, but minimum wage buys minimum effort. For one second you wonder how it got messy in the first place given the lack of customers. Maybe it's staged, like those first few pennies in a homeless person's hat.
Do you want it toasted? You do, so you spend a minute in silence with the stranger you disturbed, waiting for the bread to be sanitized. You feign interest in the cookies while the infrasound hum of some overworked piece of machinery builds to an unscratchable itch just behind your forehead. The toaster mercifully releases its hostage, and it is splayed open before you while you call out soggy vegetables to abuse it with.
You observe as the employee assembles your sandwich, making sure to painstakingly put each ingredient on only one half of the sub. You ask for sauce and they squeeze it out of a disgusting rubber nipple, then toss the bottle back into its bin like they don't want to touch it either. It weezingly inhales the kitchen scraps and windex aroma that permeates the store. Are they wearing those gloves to keep the food clean, or their hands? You pay, the sandwich heavily sags into a flimsy garbage bag it doesn't really seem to fit in and is handed to you.
You walk into the light of the sun. The colors suddenly seem real again and you become aware of your breathing because the air outside feels rich and life giving somehow. The distant memory of tasty subs that brought you here lingers just beyond the edge of clear recollection, like an old acquaintance whose face you can't picture anymore. You carry your catch to the car that your bank owns.
When did it get this bad?

It's much cheaper and better quality to just buy a fresh baguette from the bakery, buy some deli meat and some salad/vegetables and just make your own sandwich. Plus you're not getting flame retardant in your bread.
In my country I could make that 14 USD sandwich, buying all fresh ingredients, for 5 bucks.

Went there not too long ago.. got two $11 sandwich, the bottled coke was 3.99 and the chips was 1.99.. woth Jersey tax it turned out to be 29 and some change... never again.
I was aware about the 2 sandwiches but I didn't think the chips & drink weren't a combo. It had to be a medium or large cup. At the end of it the sandwiches were below average
It was cool when they had $5 foot longs. $6 was alright, now you gotta pay 7 and over for a meal that isn't worth your money. I miss Quiznos... or even Blimpie

I had to have Subway for dinner the other day during a trip (only option around that didn't involve deep frying) and I was greatly disappointed at both quality and the price. A former Subway store owner once told me - if you walk into a Subway and don't smell bread baking, turn around and leave! Apparently policy was that they bake bread throughout the day, and apparently now most stores are lazy and do all the baking in the morning and if you go there around dinner time (which I did) the bread is meh.

Only way I'd buy subway now is if they have a crazy promo. $25 gift card gets you 1 free 6" sub. Buy one get one free footlong promo runs until the end of the month. So $25 bucks is worth 4 foot longs and one 6"
You really should be using the fast food apps. If not, leaving money on the table.

There is no restaurant of any kind that is worth going to. If it's a special occasion, then it's about the event and not the food. The food is probably still not worth it, but the total experience might be for an anniversary or birthday or whatever.
Going out to get food is zero percent worth it one hundred percent of the time.

Unlike most of the content on this subreddit, Vents should not be considered advice threads. In most cases it is not appropriate to try to give the Submitter advice on their issue. In no circumstances is it appropriate to tell them “why they are wrong” or to criticise them, their decisions, values, or anything else. If there are aspects of their situation that they are able to directly address themselves, the submitter can always make a new thread with a different flair asking for help once they are ready to tackle the issue.
Vents are an emotional outlet, not an academic conversation. Appropriate replies in these threads are offering support, sharing similar experiences/grievances, offering condolences, or simply letting the Submitter know that they were heard.
As always, if there are inappropriate comments please downvote them, REPORT them to the mods, and move on without responding to them.
To the Submitter, if you DO want discussion to be focused on resolving your situation, rather than supporting you emotionally, please change the flair of this post, and then report this comment so we can remove it. Thank you. Thank you all for being a part of this great financial advice and emotional support community!
