I coined (no pun intended)  this many years ago and soon this may go away forever now that cars are no longer being made with ashtrays.

The ash tray lunch is what ever you can buy at the drive-through with only the loose change in your ash tray!!!

Here in California  It is usually Taco Bell or Dell Taco that are the hands down winners for the quantity battle.  Usually a couple basic burritos and medium drink.  In-n-out burger - Hamburger and a drink no fries.   This is perfect when your on the run.  The McDonald's dollar menu is a winner as well.

Any of you out there got any other drive-through gems that can be purchased with loose change?

Well, Ted, here in Juneau, Alaska we have a McD's but they don't have the dollar menu.  However, I've found a few snacks for this kind of money:

Costco - Hot Dog & Soda $1.58

Peter's Oriental - Chicken on a stick $2 or spring rolls $1 each

Up the ante to $4 and there are many more choices!

I think the only other one that we have around here that you haven't already named is Krystal - I think up north it's the same as White Castle- not sure how cheap there, but pretty cheap here

Oh, BTW, we used to have a Dell Taco close by and I LOVED it!  I sure miss them!

Oh, man Ted - this hits me right in the old "gut" per se... I've been known to enjoy the Jalepeno/cheese hot dogs at 7/11.  Not drive-thru, but at 2 for $1.49, right there in the "ash tray" lunch vein.

Ted- my son is a broke teenager (he has to pay for the gas to put in his car)LOL.  He swears by the value menu at Wendy's.
