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
Dining & Takeaway Chicken Nuggets Chips Fast Food Fried Chicken Instagrampost Potato and Gravy Potato Chips Sauce Snack

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

      • billy_bob on 07/10/2022 - 10:48

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

    $8.95 for delivery :(

    • gilbarc on 07/10/2022 - 08:23

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

      • ShaneWSmith on 07/10/2022 - 11:19
        +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.

      • Meconium on 07/10/2022 - 11:21

        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.

    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.

      lol this guy doesn't know!

      8 pieces of chicken
      6 nuggets

        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!

    yay, don't forget to combine with survey.

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

    • choofa on 06/10/2022 - 19:06

    It had been $21.95 for a few weeks already

    • DiscountForThee on 06/10/2022 - 19:39

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

  • MrPants on 06/10/2022 - 18:59

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

    • tharlow on 06/10/2022 - 19:32
      +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

    • madrigal on 14/10/2022 - 10:14

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

      • Spending2Much on 14/10/2022 - 15:11

        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

            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

    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.
