Wendy's joins McDonald's in announcing a new value meal as the fast food wars heat up

• Wendy's is introducing a new $3 breakfast combo meal.
• Diners have been increasingly frustrated with high fast food prices since the pandemic.
• Rival chain McDonald's has also launched a new low-price offering.

Wendy's has launched a new $3 breakfast combo meal, as high fast-food prices have started to push customers away.

Customers can pair a small portion of seasoned potatoes with a choice between two breakfast muffins — a bacon, egg, and cheese English muffin or a sausage, egg, and cheese English muffin, the company said. The deal is on offer for a limited period.
