Top Subway Sandwich Menu Savings Hacks for the Subway Sandwich Chain

Whether you like turkey, tuna salad, steak, roast beef, or a good chicken parm, there's a fast food sandwich creation for everyone. Here are 20 great menu hacks and ideas for Subway sandwiches of all tastes:

  1. Ask for your sandwich to be "double-toasted" for an extra crispy bread.
  2. Get protein-style by substituting the bread for lettuce wraps.
  3. Order a "pepperoni pizza sub" on bread or flatbread by asking for marinara sauce, a few slices of pepperoni, and your choice of cheese, and then have them toast it! Add bacon, olives, spinach, or other veggies for a "supreme"!
  4. Request your sandwich to be made into a salad bowl instead of on bread.
  5. For a flavor boost, ask for extra seasonings like oregano, parmesan cheese, sweet onion sauce, or Subway's chipotle southwest sauce.
  6. Order a "chicken parm" by getting a roasted chicken breast sandwich with marinara and parmesan.
  7. Get a "tuna melt" by ordering a tuna salad sandwich and asking them to toast it with swiss cheese.
  8. Substitute guacamole instead of mayo for a healthier option.
  9. Order a "surf and turf" with steak and seafood like tuna salad or crab.
  10. Get a "poor man's big philly" by ordering a steak and swiss cheese on Italian herbs and cheese bread.
  11. Ask for honey mustard to be spread on your bread before toasting for a sweet flavor.
  12. Order your sandwich as a "salad bowl" with red wine vinaigrette over spinach for a healthier option.
  13. Get a "chicken fajita" by ordering a chicken sandwich with southwest sauce and veggies.
  14. Order a "pizza melt" by getting Italian bread with marinara, pepperoni, and mozzarella cheese toasted.
  15. Ask for olive oil and vinegar instead of mayo or mustard for an Italian twist.
  16. Create a "chicken bacon ranch" by ordering a chicken sandwich with bacon and ranch dressing.
  17. Get a "veggie delite" but add tuna or egg whites for extra protein.
  18. Order a "subway club" by combining turkey, ham, bacon, and veggie toppings.
  19. Ask for chipotle southwest sauce on your meatball sandwich for a smoky kick.
  20. Create your own custom wrap by ordering the fillings you want wrapped in a tomato basil or spinach wrap.

Stretch Your Dollar Further…

Here are some tips to help save money when dining at Subway:

1. Take Advantage of Promotions
Subway often has footlong sub deals or discounts, like the BOGO Footlong deal, on certain sandwiches/meals.

2. Join the Subway Rewards Program
Earn points that can go towards free food with purchases simply by joining Subway Rewards. Plus, you get your first 250 points just for signing up AND free chips on Fridays with any purchase.

3. Download and Order Through the Subway App
When you download and order through the Subway app, you not only collect Rewards points toward free food but you also get exclusive coupons and offers.

4. Get the BOGO Footlong Deal
Subway offers a BOGO Footlong coupon with the Subway Buy one get one 50% off with code BOGO50 at checkout. This Subway BOGO should work at most Subways on foot-long subs, but keep in mind that not all Subway coupons work at all locations. 

5. Save $1 By Upgrading to a Meal
If you get a sandwich and then buy chips and a drink separately, you end up paying more than you should. Instead, upgrade your sandwich to a "meal" for just $2.99 more and save $1+.

6. Split a Footlong Sub
Got a friend that likes the same kind of sandwich as you do? Great! Order a footlong, split it in half, and you each get to save a little money.

7. Get it "Deluxe" to Save on More Meat
If you’re getting a melt, double meat will cost you $1.50 for both sizes, but “Deluxe” style will only cost you $0.75 for both six-inch subs and footlongs.
