Dad hates overpaying. These five tricks cut your bill without cutting portions.
1
Use the You Pick Two Combo
Dad gets a half sandwich paired with a cup of soup or a half salad for one combo price, rather than paying for two full-size items. See all Value Duets combos.
2
Look at the Sip Club for a Coffee Drinker
A drinks membership can suit a dad who stops at Panera often. Whether it pays depends on how many drinks he buys, and our guide works that out. Full Sip Club breakdown.
3
Check MyPanera Rewards Before Ordering
Open the Panera app and tap the Rewards tab. Any offers on your account appear there, so check it on the morning of June 21 before you pay. How MyPanera rewards work.
4
Order the Family Feast Instead of Individual Meals
A Family Feast bundle feeds a group for one price, and our guide compares it with ordering the same food separately. See Family Feast options.
5
Feed the Table on Mix & Match
Feeding several people is where Panera's Mix & Match value menu earns its keep: every item on it is $4.99, so four people eating two items each is $39.84 before sides, and the sides are free.
