Panda Express Bowl Bundle

The Bowl Bundle is a Bowl with a drink attached: one side, one entree and a medium fountain drink for $10.90, against $8.50 for the Bowl alone. The difference is $4.60 territory in menu terms, and it saves money only in one case: you were buying a drink anyway.

The math is worth knowing precisely. The bundle adds the drink for the gap between $8.50 and $10.90, while a medium fountain drink ordered separately is listed at a higher price nationally. That makes the bundle a genuine saving of a couple of dimes rather than the deal the name implies, which is still a saving if the drink was coming regardless and pure cost if it was not.

Calories follow the same logic as any Bowl, plus the drink. The food side ranges from around 280 to over 1,100 calories depending on your side and entree. The drink adds anywhere from zero for Diet Coke or unsweetened tea up to 410 calories for sweet tea, and that choice is free. Picking a zero calorie cup is the single easiest calorie cut in the entire store.

How much is a Bowl Bundle? $10.90 nationally against $8.50 for the plain Bowl, with store pricing varying.

It suits anyone who always orders a drink and wants one transaction instead of two. Skip it if you drink water, since the plain Bowl at $8.50 is then the cheaper order. The Plate Bundle at $12.90 applies the same logic to a two entree Plate.
