Is it back? IS IT BACK?! Any sandwich bogo march madness. YAY!
I did a calorie vs. price comparison on the entire menu and I aways get the greek gyro and chicken cordon bleu (for single sandwiches, not interested in the double, triple, etc.). Both are so good. The buffalo chicken has a slightly less price to calorie ratio than the chicken cordon bleu, but many I love that sandwich.
Edit: I may consider getting the new Italian Beef Dip (which this deal can be used on) and compare it to the Classic French Dip & Swiss. Kind of like Jersey Mike's New Mike's Hot Italian vs. The Original Italian.

Best deal is 2 half pound roast beef's and use your own burger buns to split. The regular should be 3 oz a piece, so a little over 5 roast beef regulars for $8 ish. Here is the thing, my local Arby's loves to rip you off. I've been short almost 2 oz on the half pound, which is 4oz for 2 or basically a double for a half pound price. Arbys corporate will make it right if you contact them.
The roast beef sandwich in 1964 was $0.69 when Arby's was founded. The wage was $1.15/hr. Today, it SHOULD BE $4.34 on $7.25/hr. With this deal and in my area and fortunately because I live in a $7.25/hr. state; a sandwich is $2.345 for one. The regular price would be $4.69. The differential is only off by $0.35 on just one.
The issue here is profit went up, they migrated to a predatory system revolved around low IQ people paying full price in the drive through - punishing people who don't use the app or coupons from mailers, and the product stayed the same.
In 2001, when minimum wage was $5.25, you could get 5 Roast Beefs for $5.00. Today, that same hour of labor barely buys you one.
The "beef" isn't even a cut; it's a restructured, phosphate-injected loaf made from utility-grade trimmings.
They're effectively charging a 400% markup on salt-water-soaked "meat glue" bricks.
