A new study looked at 12 fast-food and fast-casual restaurants, and ranked them based on VALUE.  They found that Panera Bread was the most expensive . . . but Shake Shack was the worst bang for your buck.

 Fast-food prices have increased over the years.  Some of them are still worth the price . . . others, not so much.

A new study looked at 12 fast-food and fast-casual places, and ranked them . . . based on the average cost of a popular meal, nationwide.

Panera Bread is the PRICIEST at almost $15 per meal.  Chipotle is second, followed by Blaze Pizza . . . Shake Shack . . . and Jersey Mike’s.  Chick-fil-A and McDonald’s are the cheapest . . . they’re both just under $9.

But which one FEELS the most overpriced . . . for what you get?

Shake Shack is . . . by far . . . the place that people think is too pricey for what it is.  Blaze Pizza is second, followed by MOD Pizza . . . Panera Bread . . . and then Chick-fil-A.  (Wait.  I thought people LOVED Chick-fil-A.  It’s both the cheapest, and the fifth-worst bang for your buck?)

McDonald’s and Taco Bell scored the best on value . . . people are generally happy with what they get for the price they pay.
