      about time our southern aussies expanded their waistlines like us in QLD

    • https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/244147

      Was QLD/NT, now you can join the fat party :-)

      • My local McDonalds in Qld said it wasn't been offered anymore.

    • Saw this deal in Cairns too

    You need 3 of these to fill you up for lunch

    • +15

      You fat, bro.

    Remember to ask for no ice. You'll get extra drink that way ;)

    • I normally do half ice (chatime style lol). Works out pretty well for small / medium drinks.

    • -2

      While they will probably fill it up, just be aware that they will not be obliged to.

      Your paying for x ml of soft drink, not a full cup of soft drink. Plus ice helps keep the drink carbonated longer.

      • Been doing it for years and no problems yet.

        • All good. As mentioned, the staff member probably won't think twice.

          More a warning that if someone asks no ice and gets a non-filled cup, don't yell at the young server (not that I'm implying you would, but some people have such a sense of entitlement).

          If they are happy to do it, go for gold!

    • IME they do put ice in anyway

      • Drive thru in peak times is when it usually happens.

        • Yeah I ordered in peak times but not through drive thru. FYI Myer Centre SA was the store

    Combine with Student Edge for another drink.

      Combine that with feedback for Mcbites / chips.

        @zKskita Student Edge thing isn't supposed to be used with any other offer but IME they honour it anyway.

    • Can you? I thought Student Edge had to be over $3?

      • +1

        $3 or over, so this passes.

    • +1

      I was given 10% off last time i used SE

      • That's an even better deal considering you already have 1 drink.
        There's some different promo they accidentally give sometimes (10% off) and that's usually better.

  • +1

    Also worth mentioning that in Brisbane I was able to swap out the cup of softdrink/water for a bottle of water too!

    • if you do that its not actually that bad a meal for you health wise.

      • +1

        It's not really very healthy either, plenty of carbs and protein but no nutrients or minerals.

    • Did that yesterday too.

  • I tried to order this at Maccas Collins St Melbourne, 5 mins ago, she didn't have a clue about this $3 deal and asked his manager; manager advised her that this deal will start on 25/05? is this correct?

    • edit: ah I see,.. sorry, didn't see the date, was too hungry and craving for this cheeseburger already :P

    • What did he/her look like?

      • +2

        Probably fat.

    • they have the $4.95 double cheese burger meal and will swap the chips for salad …. also they will add extra cheese burgers for $1 each max 3 per meal.

  • The dates are include…

  • all stores in vic?

    • +1

      Probably participating only but I'm sure 99.99% will honour it

      • yeah seems they have more " store specials" only nowadays …. and at some places they say we don't participate unless it's a to add campaign ….. wonder if it's the subway deals are putting pressure on ?

  • wait does that mean its finished in qld now?

    • Got it at Loganholme this afternoon. Also swapped the drink for a bottle of water.

  • What happened to the free Happy Meal with Create your own Taste Burger, can't seem to find any reference to it?

      • Thanks I don't know why I couldn't find it in the search but its certainly good money for value deal!

        • Haha. No worries. I just clicked on the McDonalds store page and was able to find it fairly quickly. Enjoy your happy meal toys!

  • excellent deal :)

  • What about taking the meat off to save more?

  • Anyone know where you can find the full updated latest McDonald's pricing online?

  • Not available at Elsternwick VIC.

    • Maybe they didn't know about it because it just started today.

      • It wasn't in the self-serve kiosk menu either. The small cheeseburger meal showed up as $4.80.

        • Does that store usually participate in promotions?

        • @unity1:

          Ordinarily yes, but the $3 deal was nowhere to be seen.

        • +1

          @KaptnKaos: Maybe try tomorrow, or just try another store

        • It wasn't in self serve at mine, but was available. It's apparently on their system under the loose change menu and Three for $3. They had trouble finding it when I went, but they got there and it was advertised on their changy sign thing.

  • is this active already?? has anyone had success ordering this specifically here in VIC? Thanks

    • As above, in reply to KaptnKaos.

  • Yep just ordered Freshwater place, Melbourne VIC
    Just checked the Self order screen and it was under cheeseburger items. It was there in the 3 for $3 promotion. Got cheeseburger, fries and bottle water.
    Garden salad can be exchanged for fries.

  • Merged from 3 for $3 Cheeseburger, Small Fries and Small Coke @ McDonalds VIC/TAS

    Saw this advertised on TV during the Swans V Kangaroos AFL game last night.

    Couldn't find any reference to it on OzBargain or the official McDonal's site

    Article on it here: http://www.frugalfeeds.com.au/2016/cheeseburger-small-fries-…

    Decent deal if you combine with $1.50 Chocolate Pie https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/249954 or hot choc fudge cone https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/247193 and other winter loose change menu items https://mcdonalds.com.au/winter-loose-change-menu

    Example:

    3 for $3 deal (remember Coke w' no ice) $3
    Hot chocolate Pie $1.5
    Chicken McBites 10pk $2

    = $6.5 for a Burger, Nuggets, Chips, Chocolate Pie and Coke

    Enjoy!

      • it's OzInception!
