Free tacos from Jack in the Box on Thursday

A Jack in the Box antenna topper.Are high gas prices getting to you? Jack in the Box wants you to know that they sympathize. On Thursday, June 26 the restaurant chain will be giving out two free tacos when you show them a recent gas receipt.

That's it. Just show the cashier a recent receipt from any gas station and you can get yourself two free tacos. The deal runs all day and you don't have to buy anything else. However, the receipt must be original, no copies allowed. Also, only one order of tacos per gas receipt.

If you live near a Jack in the Box, keep your gas receipts and have a free snack on Thursday. I'd probably do that if I lived anywhere near a Jack in the Box, but I don't think there are any of them on the east coast.

it's a simple matter of supply and demand. the more people buying gas means higher demand. higher demand equals higher prices. it just seems that jack is encouraging people to buy gas, possibly sooner than needed, in order to get free food. who does jack have a deal with?

Luckily there is a Jack N the Box across the street from this gas,in Charlotte,NC. When I leave Senior Bingo ,also acroos the street I can take my 27 cent Senior drink and get a free re-fill before I leave. Sounds good for me.Also I will be cashing in one of my Free Bingo Coupons at Burger King for a Crisp and Chicken Breakfast Sandwich,add tomato for 30 cent if they are back on the menu.

I get tortured by the commercials on a few channels and just want to add my comment. Bring Jacks to the east coast.If it is a franchise maybe we can get together here in PA and open a few.If not then JACK please listen come to US!I miss the tacos, breakfast samies and mostly the chedder jalapeno tatos! Chicken a Streeeeps were good too. MISS em BAD!

I moved to Wisconsin about ten years ago and there aren't any Jack in the Boxes here, and I really miss those nasty, wonderful tacos. (Growing up, we mostly called it "Crap in the Sack." We also called Burger King "Booger Fling." We had a name for just about every fast food joint there was--but the names were affectionate, not disparaging.)

The taco's are really good. Years ago no one would ever object to 2 for .99 Cent taco's at 2:30 AM. They have their own spoecial taste. I love Taco Cabana's Taco's better but they each have their own great taste. I not going though.
Jack in the box is ... you know..... in the finer neibhorhoods... There is one near me of course... what can I say. It is the reason I moved here.
People on the East coast. I shake my head at you...

In Franklin, actually. They were really good at first but after they were open for awhile they seemed to go downhill.
