Father shares Chick-fil-A cost-saving tip using nuggets and buns for family of five
An Atlanta pastor demonstrated how ordering chicken nuggets and buns instead of sandwiches can keep a family meal at Chick-fil-A under $45, highlighting price variations across locations.
An Atlanta worship pastor and podcast host said his family of five can keep a Chick-fil-A dinner under $45 by ordering 30 chicken nuggets, which cost about $17, and buttered buns priced at 25 cents each. He posted a June 26 video on Instagram showing the assembled sandwiches, noting that the approach reduces the expense compared with purchasing individual chicken sandwiches that typically run $5-$6 before sides and tax. The pastor said the method allows the family to stay within a budget while still enjoying the fast-food chain’s menu.
"Instead of everybody ordering their fried chicken sandwich and their meal, here’s what we just did and what we have been doing, and y'all need to know about this," he said in the video.
Viewers responded with comments noting the high cost of Chick-fil-A meals and expressing appreciation for the tip. The pastor acknowledged that prices differ by restaurant, but suggested the nugget-and-bun combination offers a cheaper alternative for families seeking to manage food costs.
