Deal Details
with the overall promotion running through 3/2/2025, this is the 1st of 3 total offers:
Quote from https://www.arbys.com/account/deals/ :
Buy a sandwich, get $1 any side. If you redeem this offer, you'll receive offer #2 on 2/17. The future just got a whole lot better.

Offer expires 2/16/2025 and only valid on online, pick-up-in-store orders. Must have/establish an Arby's Rewards account to redeem. Excludes Crispy Fish Sandwich and Fish 'n Cheddar Sandwich.
that is, any side FOR one dollar.
NOTE: King's Hawaiian Fish Deluxe Sandwich DOES work as the granter item.

Offer #2 will run 2/17 - 2/23/2025. then Offer #3 will depend on claiming Offer #2, and run 2/24 - 3/2/2025.

regular prices of the most expensive items eligible for discount to $1, at local restaurant:
1) 5-piece Chicken Tenders = $7.85 (this and 3-piece are on the "Chicken" menu. i think that Tenders are lumped in with this "Sides" deal due to Chicken nuggets spanning the "Sides" and "Chicken" menus.)
2) Premium 9PC Chicken Nuggets = $6.05 (on the "Chicken" menu; 4- and 6- piece are on "Sides".)
3a) 6-piece Mozzarella Sticks = $5.75
3b) 8-piece Jalapeno Bites = $5.75

and the cheapest eligible granter items, locally:
1) Classic Roast Beef = $4.95
2a) King's Hawaiian Fish Deluxe Sandwich = $5.65
2b) Classic Beef 'N Cheddar = $5.65
3a) Greek Gyro = $5.75
3b) Roast Beef Gyro = $5.75

sliders and small wraps are understandably excluded. 2 of their hamburgers work, but BBQ Bacon Burger bafflingly does not.

with the above examples, your total discount off of a 2-item order ranges from 41.3% to 53.5%.

I had seen this, but decided not to post it because it just seems like a money grab by Arby's.

One has to buy a sandwich to get a $1 side item (maybe if one could cover the difference of the price of the side from the now new price of $1. I do this a lot with Wendy's topped fries).

Ex. Suppose a side was $4.99 and it is now $1. That would mean if one could find a sandwich for $3.99, they could pay a total of $4.99 for everything.

when some of the eligible sides have regular prices equal to or greater than some of the sandwiches granting them, the total percentage discount for the order can be pretty high and thus far from a "money grab".

the 9-piece nuggets have 1 corresponding sandwich that can accomplish what your post describes. the 5-piece tenders have 4 such sandwiches.

I may go with a $4.69 roast beef and 3 piece chicken tenders. Thanks.

Edit: I wanted the best caloric value for the price, so I instead decided on the Greek gyro and the 5 piece tenders. I am getting both for $7.19

i'm pretty sure that the side is reduced to $1 whether its regular price is lower than the sandwich's *or not*. this isn't a typical restaurant BOGO where it's: pricier item ==> cheaper item; it's a firm: sandwich ==> side. iow, just read the offer as written.

i'm saying this in part because you were inexplicably considering pairing a 3-piece chicken tenders with the roast beef versus the ENTIRELY SUPERIOR 5-piece. Stick Out Tongue

this is why my math in the 1st post said that you can save as much as 53.1% on an overall order, despite having to pay $1 for the reduced item.

Arby's deals are whacky and never really what they seem. Ex. In the past, they had an offer where they had a minimum, but they counted the free item towards the minimum.

Edit: I just went with side and then sandwich. I wanted to get the most caloric item, 5 piece and then the most caloric sandwich, which, when added to the $1, would get me to the price of the 5 piece or slightly less. This is why I ended up getting the King's Hawaiian Fish Deluxe. I ended up getting two items for $6.49, below the cost of the 5 piece, which is $7.99 in my area.

McDonald's is also running a buy any size fry with purchase of a drink and so I am going to make it a fish and chips meal for $1.39 more.
