Enjoy lunch or dinner for just two bucks at Taco Bell for one day! The popular restaurant just keeps ringing the bell for savings lately, much to the satisfaction of hungry bargain hunters.
Everyone knows that dining out (even at fast-food restaurants!) has become really expensive, so that’s why frugal diners are always on the lookout for deals.
And Taco Bell is making it more affordable for one day with two $1 specials on Aug. 11, 2026.

The Quesarito is made with seasoned beef and rice, chipotle sauce and sour cream, wrapped in a grilled quesadilla tortilla with melted cheeses and Nacho Cheese sauce.
On Aug. 11, 2026, Taco Bell is offering its popular Quesarito for just $1 at participating locations.
The Quesarito is regularly $4.99, so it’s definitely a great deal for hungry bargain hunters. Regular price may vary by location.
The dollar deal is open to all customers. Order the $1 Quesarito in-restaurant (including at a kiosk) or via Taco Bell’s site or app.
Limit one per transaction.

With the special, enjoy a $1 Regular Drink, including fountain drinks, Freezes and Refrescas. (The special excludes all Live Más Cafe signature drinks.)

Is your gas tank and budget on empty? Hit the brakes for big savings at the pump at Circle K for one day only on Aug. 13, 2026.
Among all the household expenses, filling the gas tank can really add up every month — depending on how much driving you do getting to work, running errands or dropping the kids off at practice.
Whatever the reason, fill your gas tank on the cheap — thanks to Circle K Fuel Day.

It’s always a great deal when you can get “money back” on gift cards — especially on those retailers and restaurants you already frequent. You were going to spend the money anyway, so you might as well earn some money back at the same time.
And now’s the time to head to CVS for a big deal on many popular gift cards.
 Photo: Bryan K. Chavez for Living On The Cheap From Aug. 2 to 15, 2026, CVS is offering $10 in ExtraBucks Rewards with the purchase of a $50 gift card from select retailers and restaurants. That’s just like getting 20% back on your purchase.
You must be member of CVS’ ExtraCare loyalty program. Join ExtraCare here. (The basic membership is FREE.)
Just enter the phone number tied to your account at checkout. Plus, don’t forget to grab your receipt for the $10 ExtraBucks Rewards coupon at the bottom. (The bonus will also show up in your account online.)
Limit one per household, per week. That means you can get the gift card bonus twice — once from Aug. 2 to 8 and again from Aug. 9 to 15.
If you take advantage of the offer each week, that’s an extra $20 to spend at CVS on health & beauty, food & beverage, facial tissue, paper towels and more.
As always, be sure to use the $10 reward before it expires!
