Summary
Millions of views have piled up on Jeff Johnson’s Instagram video showing how his family of five eats at Chick-fil-A for less than $45.
Johnson’s formula skips individual meals and instead buys a 30-count nugget entree plus buttered buns, which his family turns into DIY chicken sandwiches.
He said the nuggets cost a little over $17 and buns were 25 cents each at his local restaurant, though USA TODAY found the 30-count order runs about $19 in Arizona.
The viral post taps into broader affordability concerns around fast-food prices, with Johnson pitching the order as a way for parents to cut family meal costs.
