My meal from Wendy's cost just $6.42, including tax. I thought this was an incredible deal for how much food I received.After receiving feedback from readers on my previous meal comparison stories that I was missing out on Wendy's cheap and delicious combo meals, I decided to give one a try. I then ordered the same items from McDonald's to see how they would compare in value and taste.I expected the outcome for this taste test to be about the same as when I compared Wendy's nuggets to McDonald's previously — I ended up being correct.The sauce came with the meal at no extra charge.The nuggets were also a perfect vehicle for the chain's barbecue sauce, which was tangy and slightly spicy.Right off the bat, I noticed it was slightly smaller than the one from McDonald's. It uses two junior size patties, whereas the McDonald's one uses two regular beef patties.I previously tried the chain's regular double-stack burger, so I was excited to see if adding bacon would make it even better.It came with two slices, which was enough to get bacon in every bite of the burger.The bacon was crispy and added a smokey, salty flavor to the burger.The pickles and onions were both crunchy and fresh-tasting but I would have liked more of them. In the end, the major flavor notes I got from the burger were from the meat, cheese, and bacon. I wasn't complaining, but it left just a little to be desired.They were just a bit bland for my liking.I ordered a double quarter pounder with bacon meal, which included the burger, medium fries, and a medium drink for $10.59. I added a four-piece chicken nugget to complete the meal for $1.99.For less than $13, I was pretty satisfied with how much food I received — however, it was nowhere near as good a deal as the meal from Wendy's.I've always liked them and thought $1.99 was a reasonable price for four nuggets.The smokey sauce perfectly clung to the nuggets. It was a little thicker than the sauce from Wendy's.Still, they were juicy and undeniably cheap.Though this burger is generally the same menu item as the bacon double stack burger from Wendy's, it does differ slightly.McDonald's uses two full-size patties in its double quarter pounder, while Wendy's uses two junior patties. One side of the burger received a heavy dose of toppings, while the other half was noticeably barer. The meat was super juicy and flavorful, only enhanced by the generous serving of crunchy, briny pickles, thickly sliced onions, bacon, ketchup, and mustard. The cheese was tangy and perfectly melted.The bigger burger patties paid off in the end.In the end, I preferred the McDonald's fries just slightly. However, this it totally up to personal preference.However, while I preferred the burger patties and toppings of the larger burger, the meal was also double the price.The McDonald's one was more smokey in flavor and a little thicker, while the Wendy's one had more of a kick. I enjoyed both equally.They were more seasoned and crispier than the Wendy's fries.Not only did they come with the meal deal at no extra charge, but they were also crunchier and juicier than the McDonald's nuggets.I'd definitely order it again over the meal from McDonald's, despite preferring the flavor of the McDonald's items ever so slightly.
