Get through the recession with 99 cent fast food

Thinking about the coming recession? Wondering where on your already tight budget you can make some cuts?

Don't worry. Fast food is here to save the wallet!

Apparently, fast-food chains have already felt the pinch of recessions fears with slacking sales, and in anticipation of what might become a full-blown hit, have begun offering value items on their menus. Wendy's introduced the double cheeseburger "Stack Attack" on its 99-cent value menu, Burger King's usually $2 Double Cheeseburger is half price for $1 now, and even non-burger fast food restaurants like Tao Bell are in the discount game with 99 cent gorditas.

I'm just waiting for In N Out to offer a $1 Double Double. Animal-style, of course.
