Cheap as Chips Deal $21.95 Pick Up, $24.95 + $8.95 Delivery @ KFC (App Required)

3700

Guess what everyone, our favourite deal's back and they raised the prices. It's now an extra dollar for the OzBargainer favourite and quite frankly I'm outraged

My newest conspiracy is that KFC redesigned their whole app just to bring back Cheap as Chips with a higher price (expecting fanfare for bringing back the deal)

Anyway thought you guys might wanna know.

Cheap as Chips contains:

  • 8 x Original Recipe Pieces
  • 6 x Nuggets
  • 2 x Large Chips (can be swapped)
  • 2 x Large Potato & Gravy (can be swapped)
  • 2 x Dipping Sauces

    This is the greatest day of my life

    Got it today. Gave me 8 nuggets instead of 6 which partly offsets the price increase

    • +2

      Everytime I've ordered this (quite a few times) I always get 8 nuggets. Unsure why.

      • It should be 8 nuggets anyway, as it is meant to be a meal for 4 people! KFC, please make it so…..

  • +4

    $8.95 for delivery :(

    • +3

      Meal price is great, but $8.95 delivery charge is totally OTT

    • +37

      Well some poor guy need to fuel their car and bring your kfc while smelling the freshly fried chicken in this rainy day.

      • +13

        And resist pinching a chip

        • +2

          Do we really believe that?

          • +6

            @Sven Viking: TBH, I'm surprised that I'm not handed an empty bag most of the time.

    • +2

      Good.

      If you are too lazy to pick it up, then pay for it.

    • +10

      But also the base price is $3 higher for delivery? Isn't that really an $11.95 delivery fee?

      • +2

        For the consumer, yes.
        For the gig worker delivering the food, no - they'll only see a share of the $8.95.

        Extremely sus.

      • -1

        84% of the meal price is tacked on as the delivery charge… I'd say that's fairly excessive!

        Imagine ordering a few curries for the family, thinking it will come to around $70 plus a few bucks for delivery fees etc… nek minnit it comes up as $129. Outrageous - the era of subsidised deliveries that come cheaply and quickly is over.

    Least it's back. I was outraged last weekend to find it not there.

    Some info in what's included in the deal would be handy. I'd like to know exactly how many pieces of regret chicken and sides I'm getting.

    • +19

      lol this guy doesn't know!

      8 pieces of chicken
      6 nuggets
      2 dipping sauces
      and 4 sides.

    • +8

      You're right MrPants, thankfully brandog edited it for me. I was just too excited to let the people know

      • +9

        If I was in your shoes, I don't think I would have met the minimum word count to post the deal. Would have read something like:

        KFC chicken, cheap, lots of chicken, cheap! Good, buy now! Chicken!

        • Ok! I have bought borrowed obtained a chicken, now what?

  • +12

    I'm happy to have it all blended together as a smoothie if that reduces the price.

    • +10

      This made me laugh out loud and my partner asked "something to share with the group?"

      No, not in a way that wouldn't make me seem like I'm part of a weird liquid-only, bargain-hunting cult hahah

  • +12

    Thanks for posting! I spent half an hour in the carpark trying to work out what to get after they took this down.

    • +4

      I thought I was alone in this world until reading this comment

    • +1

      Then spending way too much to get something similar :(

      • Yeah! I spent $40 just trying to get a good deal for a similar thing. At least I had leftovers šŸ˜‚

  • +3

    yay, don't forget to combine with survey.

    Still disappointed that they are now charging to swap $0.50 to tenders though

    • Same. Gutted that itā€™s 50c a swap now!

    • +3

      Don't be sad, tenders are crap compared to OR.

    • +1

      I know! It doesnā€™t make sense to me. :ā€™(

    • +2

      how do you combine with survey? isn't this app order

  • +11

    It had been $21.95 for a few weeks already

    • Whoops, I was just going based off the most recent post I could see on OzBargain

    • Yeah I think I got this on the weekend of 24th Sept

  • They sell regular chips for $2.95, so this deal is not really cheap as chips, is it now?

    • +8

      Shhhā€¦ OzBargainers arenā€™t the sharpest tools in the shed ā€” tell them that itā€™s ā€œcheapā€ or ā€œan all-time lowā€ and theyā€™ll buy without question. The first step is validation of a deal by the hivemind (check), and the next step is wiping the gravy dribbles off their clothing with a (included) wet wipe. Life is good for the most extreme adherents of consumerism

    • +1

      Four Large Chips is $20 so you are basically getting the entire meal for as cheap as the cost of the chips.

      • Do you really think 4 KFC chips is $20 worth of chips….
        I can see your logic from that point of view, but paying $20 to get 4 packs of chips, this deal isn't for them

  • +1

    It's back??!

    • +3

      Back again

      • Cheap's back

            @wittyusername: Chorus:

            Now this looks like a meal for me
            For my body, excess calories
            Cause we get a little obesity
            Cause all I'm eating is KFC

            This diet makes a slob of me
            I probably got diabetes
            Perhaps bariatric surgery
            Is the only way I can get healthy

            Ozbargain deals are all I see
            All that matters is the discount, see?
            Doesn't matter if it's good for me
            My gut feels empty without KFC

            na na na na na
            na na na na na
            na na na na na
            na na na na.

    Itā€™s not as good as it was. Itā€™s 50c per swap of chicken to tenders! It used to be free!
    Iā€™m so devastated I may have to neg this ā€œdealā€

    • +2

      I'd fully understand, with shenanigans like that I might have to uninstall the app again. It was half the reason it was the best deal

    • +2

      Not as many people felt the same way

      https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/726313

  • +1

    Pretty sure this was available a couple of weeks ago and it was cheaper not long ago before that? Why is this a deal?

    • +7

      It was removed after the redesign of the app a week (maybe less) ago. Many OzBargainers were financially devastated

      • +2

        I was about to say - cheap as chips was always available? Oh, it was gone for a week. How often are people eating at KFC? Prob saved them money for the week it was gone.

  • Iā€™m hoping my complaint along with many others helpedā€¦ itā€™s a good day haha bad day for waistline

    • Can y'all bring back the Kentucky burger too please?

  • +1

    Thanks op dinner sorted

  • +1

    Is there still a secret menu with the new app layout?

    • +3

      Yessir, unlock it basically the same way as before (scrolling to the top and holding it there for a while)

      • hmm i dont think so…. are you saying there is a different section than the app offers nav bar? i've tried swipping down + holding and nothing shows (on menu / home section etc)

  • How much was it before? I thought it's always $21.95 pick up

  • +2

    Thanks Op. new KFC app sucksā€¦no secret menu anymore?

          It should go to the comment from SpainKing 3 above yours - works when I click on it.

            @Domingo: You didnt read the reply properly Domingo

            Same issue ne-us - no secret menu appears…. they now have a promo tab at bottom of the app, and app offers in the main nav which i assumed replaced the secret menu

      It's great when you need a little snack before a real meal.

      • LOL šŸ˜‚ canā€™t argue with that šŸ‘šŸ‘

  • Didn't this deal include tenders, once upon a time?

    • +1

      Never.

      • +2

        Oh ok. I must've replaced the originals for some tenders when I used to order it and saved it as the default order.

    • +3

      You could swap the pieces for tenders but now they have introduced a 50c fee per tender

  • +3

    For extra indulgence and regret you can select EXTRA SALT on your chips. Never doing that again!

    • +6

      thats running the gauntlet, either you get a normal amount of salt because the chip salter is shit, or you get hypertension

      This is NOT the way

    Now to wait for a free delivery deal..

    The king has returned!

  • +13

    The new app is complete garbage

    Dreams can come true.. come on kids, you can eat again

  • +8

    to be fair $21.95 is still a good deal. i remember 10 years ago the deal was $19.95, so its an extremely fair and justified increase over the years considering the inflationary environment we are in right now.

    • +2

      Chicken pieces are smaller now but

      • and if you get wings it's like zero

        • Agreed

  • +11

    The $6.95 for 4 pieces of chicken hack still works on the app
