    Is that cappuccino quality coffee for $1 or percolated/instant?
    6 nuggets for $2 makes a nice snack and the sauces there are free.

        Whenever I ask for tomato ketchup and they ask me how much I want, I reply, true Ozbargain-style, "As much as you're legally allowed to give me."

        Usually walk off with a good handful of ketchup there. :D

        Honey Mustard, Sweet n Sour, Spicy, BBQ Plum, Sweet chilli

        • [Deactivated] on 13/06/2012 - 22:03

          IME Hungry Jacks just hand them over.

          McDonalds give an allocation with nuggets otherwise charge, they seem to have really tightened up. Though if you ask right at the end of the transaction and they're busy they might just throw you one :)

      Ask for a spicy sauce… it's the best to add to your burger to give it a bit more of a kick.

      Yes, you can get $2 double chb's, $2 chicken n' cheeses, $1 10pack bites, 30c soft serves and $1 small soft drink.

        I think the 10 pack of bites is $2 and also small fries is $1. Maybe I use that menu a little too much…

          Salad along with the burgers actually makes me feel less "yuk" in the stomach after McDonalds. (usual order 3 chicken n' cheese, 2 double cheeseburgers, 1 small fries and a garden salad). Great… now I'm hungry.

        double cheeseburger and chicken cheese are off the menu now (chicken cheese is back to $2.95) and the loose change menu only applies between 10:30am - midnight now . shame because the majority of visits i make are after midnight .. and also for a chicken cheese. the only burger is a double beef & bacon and they've bought back the soft serve w/ flake for 80c. i spend way too much time there ..

          +9

          WHAAA!?

          Without the double cheese or chicken cheese, the loose change menu ceases to be a menu.

          Rofl at limiting it to midnight to avoid the swarm of drunks after their night out taking advantage of the cheap grease.

          Ive only had it once (the chicken and cheese) and imo, giving half a cheese is not a very good first impression. They might as well give half a chicken too.

      I was able to get a Bbq Bacon Cheeseburger for $2 and in a meal with large fries and large frozen beverage for $5.95 total. Better value than McDonalds, where they don't allow you to combine the Value Picks burgers as a meal.

        And yeah, went in tonight and the guy said this new menu hadn't started yet. Couldn't see any marketing for it either. Happily gave us the $1 tender grill burgers though, and he was actually the one to mention it :P
