It's not very well known that you can add extra salad (even beetroot) to HJ's burgers with no extra charge so i thought i'd ask for a sausage omelette muffin+salad+beetroot+mayo and low and behold ''That'll be $2,please drive forward'' The Aussie Battler Burger was born!

Yes i know there's no bacon but you can add some for $1 i think and obviously as this is a breakfast item it's only available until 10.30 or 11am whichever it is.

Enjoy!

Almost forgot,keep your receipt because if you do a 5 minute survey you get a free cheese burger with your next purchase,which can be turned into a Whopper junior by adding the extra salad.

      extra condiments are not free at all hjs

      Yep. Even some HJ's that have had it free previously don't anymore. In fact, I've found this to be the case most of the time now.

      • SBP on 08/02/2014 - 00:02

        I have found it rarely, not most of the time, but I'm in QLD. There are a few stores that, for some ownership reasons, don't participate in most of the usual HJ stuff, including free extra salads (and sauces)

    • kyin on 08/02/2014 - 00:39

      It actually depends on what condiments you want. As far as I know, lettuce, onion, beetroot and pickle aren't charged extra (at my local store at least).

  • Unorthodox on 07/02/2014 - 16:43

          Can I suggest that if anyone is STILL considering adding angry onions to their chocolate sundae, that in the best ozbargain tradition I think it best to warn you to wait until Sorbent or Quilton etc is on special again, coz you might undo your savings with unexpected rectal activity

          A true Ozbargainer already has a cupboard/bedroom full of stockpiled sale items, including both sorbet and quilton, plus dodgy food items that lead to frequent use of the sorbent & quilton!

      Half the time I go to my local wanting a muffin they tell me they've run out and asked if it's okay to make it using a 4" bun.

      They just don't taste the same in a bun, so now I just say no and order something different.

    • iaijutsu on 08/02/2014 - 13:43

      Sausage is disgusting and tastes nothing remotely like a beef patty.

      We don't all know the little ins and outs of fast food chain menus, though. Without reading threads like these, I'm sure there is a significant portion of people who would assume that adding things to a burger or muffin would incur extra charges at every restaurant location.

      They're pretty nice tips and ideas even for people who might want something a little different to the usual menu offerings. Yes it's just fast food, but it's cheap food, and with threads like these they're made into even better bargains by including extras or using loopholes in ordering systems to get more for your buck.

      • ukmark on 07/02/2014 - 22:46
        +1

        This is routing the system and a reasonable person wouldn't do it. HJ are doing a good thing allowing people to have a menu burger how they want. All this does is promote chains like HJ initiate a no substitution policy.

        If you want beetroot on your Whopper, fair enough, but putting something from the main menu on an item from the breakfast menu is just wrong and not what the system was intended for.

        • [Deactivated] on 07/02/2014 - 23:09

          Honestly, how many thousands of people do you think are going to read threads like this, then run out to their nearest HJ or Maccas to copy these sorts of orders? Out of all the people who commented and +1'd the McFlurry thread, what % of those people do you think actually went out and did it?

          I doubt these fast food joints will go broke from giving out some free lettuce, a tomato ring and a shred of onion to the occasional customer lol.

          oh and lol @ "putting something from the main menu on an item from the breakfast menu is just wrong"

          Y'hear that? It's WRONG! lolol

          P.S. it's "rorting the system" not routing.

          "HJ are doing a good thing allowing people to have a menu burger how they want"
          Beyond Lol.
          Hungry Jacks (Burger King) are a large multinational. They neither are or are not "doing a good thing". They are not your friend and they dont care about your feelings. They exist to make money.
          If it behooves their sales to have a flexible menu, so be it.
          The general public includes everyone! Smart assed kids, bewildered oldies crafty teenagers, drug addicts, priests. Everyone! If there are exploits available in the menu, they will be found! HJ would make a business decision on the positive virtues of having menu flexibility vs not having menu flexibility based on the bottom line. Not "doing a favor" to their customers.
          Every menu option is extensively modeled and market tested. The market and ultimately money are all that are all that's going on here.
          Not any kind of favor or "good thing"
          Such nonsense.

          (Simplifying things) Britain is one big cheat system, with the 10% ripping off the 90%. Aussies are still much more egalitarian - a fairer society - the one you seem to desire.

          … & all this over a little salad, beetroot & mayo :) HJs can always say no :)

    It's hard to imagine adding salad to a burger. On the side maybe, but inside?!

    OP
    or someone that knows….

    Are you sure that you can add post 11am ingredients to a pre 11am item? I know with Maccas that if you asked for lettuce then they would say no simply because the lettuce is still in the fridge (well maybe you could convince them that you are willing to wait but generally its not available). Is HJs different?

    • spackbace on 08/02/2014 - 00:17

      Hjs offer full menu from 6am onwards, unlike maccas. So the lettuce would be out of the fridge

    • joannatan on 08/02/2014 - 00:53
