What ideas do you have ?
Il start the list .

Don't like paying 2.95 for a Sundae, ask for a soft serve cone without the cone served in a plastic sundae lid with topping, (80c)

Did they give you the wrong burger? Wait you idiot don't send it back yet! Eat half then tell them it's the wrong burger , mmm free half burger.

Want fresh chips?, ask for no salt, then they are forced to cook a fresh batch. then ask for some packets of salt :)

You can also ask for any burger to be cooked fresh, I always ask for a fresh fillet o fish patty cooked as no one ever orders them and the patty is usually cold and as hard as a rock.

Swap your small fries for a salad, better value as it's the same salad even if it's a large fries

What ideas do you ppls have?

    Get a happy meal instead of a cheeseburger meal.

    Want the best tip to "save coin" at maccas? Stop eating at maccas, you can make food for cheaper than that if you're that hard up for cash.

    Want free extra ingredients from the staffs body? - do all the above, especially #2. Pretty sure hobos have more class.

      From someone who worked int he service industry for nearly 5 years, (profanity) people who send half-eaten food back. We hate you, we hate everything about you and we want to spit in your food. I have never done it myself, but there are other people who I know for a fact have.

  • Savas on 17/10/2016 - 06:49

    Go to Hungry Jack's

    Or if you really wanted to get 10 McBites from survey and redeem it with a Large water (total cost free)

      Maccas does that too? Oi at kfc , Don't even do the survey, just write 5 random numbers on your receipt, they don't have anyway to verify it

  • garetz on 17/10/2016 - 07:35

    The best way to save money is stop eating at maccas, plus you arent buying real food anyway as the doco supersize me shows what happens when you eat it too much.

    • SirFlibbled on 04/11/2016 - 13:53

      Technically it shows what happens when a super healthy vegan eats too much Maccas.

    I use there toilets without eating there, if you park close enough you can hang your iPad cover over your sun visor and enjoy there free internet. It's like going to a drive-in cinema.

      This is how every Uber driver rolls while waiting for a fare.
      Don't forget to grab a free large cup of iced water without buying anything while your there too.

        Safer than waiting in the CBD near the cab ranks where cabbies may choose to assault you at will?

      I know people like that, they do have money but act like borderline beggars who don't beg.

    Trust me, they're going to taste better if you just have the salt from the shakers. Most stores should be wasting older fries so you're not going to get old chips unless you have a poorly managed store, and if it's a peak period you're almost guaranteed fresh fries

    • ShipShapeRC on 20/10/2016 - 08:19

      So why is the salt in the shaker better? Any additives or extra flavors? Or does it just stick better cause it goes on better when the fries are extra hot and oily on the surface that moment after they come out from the flyer.

      • AssociatedShadowStealer7 @ McDonald's on 21/10/2016 - 04:35

        The salt shaker has finer salt than the packets do, and yeah, the salt sticks better when the fries are still covered in oil

    Down grade your large coke to a medium one if you don't normally finish it.
    Downgrade to a small coke and then get a $1 frozen coke.

        Don't normally finish it. As per your bold comment.

    in SE QLD shopadocket has a $2 cheeseburger + small chips (not on the website, from receipts only).

    get the burger without the patty and they deduct the patty which takes $1.20 off the price.

    small chips for 80cents.

    • Savas on 17/10/2016 - 13:57

      Isn't it better value with the patty?

      • altomic on 17/10/2016 - 14:18

        maybe, I don't eat "meat"

        i like the fries.

        • OzBozo on 17/10/2016 - 14:34

          Really, do you still get the meatless burger? That would be a mean 80 cent chip sanga

          @OzBozo: yeah, you still get the meatless burger- 80 cent chip sanga

        • [Deactivated] on 29/10/2016 - 21:28

          Why wouldn't you eat meat?

        • altomic on 29/10/2016 - 21:57

          @thorton82: 22 years I lost a bet…

    Chicken and mayo $2 burger w/ big mac sauce :)

  • anastasiastarz on 25/10/2016 - 03:50

    Just getting a cheeseburger ($2.80-ish)? Skip the cheese and order a hamburger for $2.
