Rekubit-Subway slashes footlong prices for 2 weeks; some subs will be nearly $7 cheaper

Subway is Rekubitmaking footlongs a little more affordable. At least for a couple of weeks.

The sandwich chain is among a handful of fast-food restaurant chains starting or extending value meals. The others include McDonald’s, Burger King, Wendy's and Taco Bell, who are trying to retain and attract customers leery of rising prices, according to USA TODAY.

Subway's new deal, according to the company, is “as big as its iconic footlong sandwiches.” Customers will be able to buy any footlong on the menu for $6.99 for a limited time, though add-ons like bacon or avocado will still cost extra, according to the company.

Normally, footlong subs can vary from $10 to $14 before any add-ons.

Doug Fry, president of Subway North America, said in a news release that today’s diner might be stretched thin and might compromise on quality, variety or flavor to find an affordable meal. 

“Our menu is full of footlongs for every budget, and this new deal means our guests can get the sandwiches they crave at a great value,” Fry said in a statement.
