Between sliders, snack-size sides, turnovers and app-only offers, you can put together a filling meal for under five dollars if you know what to order. This guide covers the cheapest items on the Arby’s menu right now and the best value combinations.

Value Bundles & “2 For” Deals
Arby’s regularly runs mix-and-match deals such as “2 for $7” or “2 for $8,” which let you choose two items from a list, usually Classic Roast Beef, Classic Beef ‘n Cheddar, Crispy Chicken and Gyros. Earlier “2 for $6 Everyday Value” deals have also appeared. These promotions rotate and depend on the franchise, so check the Arby’s app for your local store before you go.
In 2026 Arby’s also ran a digital-only “Classics” value menu with five legacy items priced from $1 to $3 to celebrate the chain’s anniversary. Offers like this tend to come back, so they’re worth watching for.
App Deals Are the Real Value Menu
The biggest savings at Arby’s are now in the app. Typical offers include a free sandwich after your first order, buy-one-get-one sandwiches, free medium Curly Fries with any purchase, and bundles that are cheaper than the menu board. Points from every order add up toward free food, too.
Price Per Calorie: What Gives the Most Food?
If you’re simply trying to get full for the least money, sliders and large Curly Fries lead the menu. A large Curly Fries packs around 650 calories for about $4.29, while two sliders give roughly 480 calories for under $4. Shakes are filling too but heavy on sugar. For protein per dollar, the Double Roast Beef beats most sandwiches.
