It seems since the announcement of McDonald’s limited-time meal deals, other restaurants have been scrambling to compete.
Restaurants everywhere — from other fast food restaurants to sandwich shops and sit-down eateries — rushed to offer their own value meals and menus.
Here’s a look at the latest.
Arby’s has a three for $5 deal that can be used to create your own meal.
Available items include sliders (roast beef, jalapeno roast beef, chicken or Buffalo chicken), chicken wraps (ranch, barbecue or honey mustard), small curly fries, small crinkle fries and small fountain drinks.
The deal is available for a limited time.
Jimmy John’s has also rolled out a value meal.
The sandwich chain’s $10 Total Package Meal includes any eight-inch original sandwich plus chips, a drink and dessert.
There are seven sandwich choices and three dessert options including a brownie and three cookie flavors.
The deal is valid for a limited time.
TGI Fridays is currently offering 10 value meal deals ranging from $9.99 to $15.99.
Options include a cheeseburger, chicken Caesar salad, grilled salmon, chicken fettuccine Alfredo, a half-rack of ribs and chicken fingers.
The meal deals are available for a limited time.

Capriotti’s Sandwich Shop’s newest Inland Empire location opened recently in Murrieta.
