It was a sad day when Spangle's (in Kansas) finally raised the price of the Gourmet Supreme value pack above $2.99. They held out a LONG time on that one, most places were in the $5 range for a combo meal like that, and for a fast food burger chain they're pretty solid.

I distinctly remember hamburgers being .39 and cheeseburgers being .49.  I can't remember if that was an everyday price or if it was a promo.

Since we're talking FF burgers.  The Wendy's double stack when it came out was .99 and might be the GOAT FF burger when it comes to value.

I'm sure, when I was a kid, McDonalds was somewhere around 30-40 cents.  

I remember there was a place in Lincoln that sold 10 burgers for $1.  I had a friend who would buy $10 worth, fill his freezer and eat out of it all week (or more).  

The best deal in Lincoln at the time was one day a week the biker bar at 27th and Holdrege would have 25 cent tacos.  They were damn good too.  We would go and get 12 tacos for $3 and we were in heaven.  

@JJ Husker, I had friends who lived behind the Burger King at 48th and Hodrege.  They would dumpster dive at least once a week at the burger king right there.  Then, they were caught by the manager and threatened to call the police on them.
