A father says his family of five is able to eat at Chick-fil-A for under $45 using a DIY sandwich "hack," though menu prices vary by location amid concerns across the country about affordability due to rising costs. 
Jeff Johnson, a worship pastor at an Atlanta church and a podcast host, told his social media followers that it is cheaper to purchase nuggets and buns than to purchase chicken sandwiches for himself, his wife and his three children. 
"I have a hack for every dad who’s always saying, ‘Why are we spending so much money at Chick-fil-A,'" Johnson said in a June 26 Instagram video. 
"Instead of everybody ordering their fried chicken sandwich and their meal, here’s what we just did and what we have been doing, and y'all need to know about this."

Johnson explained that he ordered 30 nuggets, which were just over $17, and buttered buns for everyone, which were 25 cents each. 
The camera then pans over to a family member's sandwich, which shows a bun with several nuggets inside. 
Even with added sides and drinks, Johnson's hack helps reduce the cost for families attempting to budget their meals. 
"Everyone’s happy, dad’s happy. 
We have saved so much money. 
I'm just telling you, you can eat for under $45 at Chick-fil-A as a family of five if you do what I'm saying," Johnson said. 
Prices vary by restaurant, but individual Chick-fil-A chicken sandwiches often cost about $5 to $6 before sides, drinks and tax. 
The commenters on his video were shocked by his hack and appreciative of the advice. 
"Chick-fil-A is expensive. 
Good advice dude. 
Appreciate it," one person wrote. 
"Did not need to know about the 30 nuggets for $17 as a single person," another jokingly added.

"Let me know when you get a cease and desist letter from @chickfila," a third user joked. 
"Get some pickles on the side. 
Gotta have that pickles," another user said, referring to the pickles that typically come on a classic chicken sandwich.
