In addition to the launch of the new Saucy Sandwich, KFC has also added two new $5 meals to the Taste of KFC Deals savings menu. launched in April. Available from August 12th, one of the new bunch (590-850 calories) comes with eight chicken nuggets, fries and two sauces. The other new $5 offer includes a KFC Famous Bowl (590 calories) served with mashed potatoes, sweetcorn, chicken nuggets, gravy and three types of grated cheese.
In addition to the two brand new offers, KFC is also offering one of the original value packages that was introduced in April with the Taste of KFC Deals menu. The meal (540-810 calories) consists of two pieces of fried chicken (chicken drumstick and chicken thigh), a bun and a side of mashed potatoes and gravy.

Outback Steakhouse recently launched a new three-course Aussie Aussie Aussie menu The offer starts at just $14.99, making it the chain’s cheapest offer this year. It comes with a soup or salad, an appetizer, a steakhouse side dish and a slice of New York-style cheesecake.
