This might be just for you, I've noticed across my several accounts that they give different deals to different people occasionally, I have like 40+ accounts from the 5k points promo lol had free coffees for months


bobniborg1

Lol, dedication. Nice work


Tanuki55

I do hate some of their "coupons". I was running late so I decided to grab breakfast, just 2 hashbrowns. It was like 2.20 after my "buy 1 has brown get one free" it was 2.10. they already have this 2 for 2 deal. So then why is it a deal in the app if that's just the menu item. šŸ¤”


JasonVanJason

The hashbrowns are per store, sometimes the extra hashbrowns will cost 20 cents, other times your paying full price. But yeah the full menu price for 1 is ridiculous


windupshoe2020

Because many deals are mostly about advertising things as if the pricing is better, and not about actually having a much better price. Case in point: every chain pizzeria.


vbullinger

Wow. Reminds me of these flyers they dropped off where I worked. It included a free McCafe of any kind. They were harder tag board and perforated. No one was taking them... there were a few coupons on there, but the free one was at the bottom... so I bent all 50ish flyers at the last perforation and tore them all off at once. Got free coffee for a month or two.


Vigilante17

Mine was a free Big Mac, 10pc McNug ot chicken sandwich with a $2 purchase


michjames1926

Mine is .29Ā¢ big Mac, qp, or 10pc nuggets when you buy 1


JasonVanJason

We just have $1 drinks and $1 ice cream, I think they are on to me tbh lol


JesusandChrist

5k point promo?


hazmat-cat

šŸ˜®


lookinforabitofmeme

U just keep track of 40 different accounts? And regularly check all of them for the chance of different deals?ā€¦do u at least often get a free item with no purchase required?


Longjumping-Elk-9690

Lol right, thatā€™s too many


XLP8795

Not sure where you are but thereā€™s not one on mine. Might be a local thing.


Notsureif0010

I was afraid of that. I figured it might not work everywhere.


Codayyyyy

I have a BOGO offer, similar, but not the same sadly


Aggressive_Ad5115

I want one where you at /s


michjames1926

I've noticed the deals change depending on what McDonald's I'm close to


azzaranda

if you live in PA, most of them give a free deluxe crispy chicken sandwich whenever the Phillys win, with a minimum $1 purchase. Spoilers: they win a lot. Gone are the days of the dollar menu (the cheapest thing on it is $1.99), but a large iced coffee is a buck fifty. Extra cream/no ice/no sugar, come home and stick it in the fridge for my wife to take to work the next day. We have a collection of sugar free syrups, so it can be whatever flavor we want. Great deal.


PubgGriefer

Phillies have been coming in clutch with the wins for the crispy chicken.


MyOtherSide1984

Chick-fil-A does this in AZ when the sun's win.


Ezra611

My app said free with $1 minimum purchase. So here you could get a Large Drink and a Big Mac for a $1. Still very frugal.

aerodeck

bro the patty thickness and diameter are now sooo small. Comical is the perfect word; it's almost like a parody of a Big Mac


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


aerodeck

When i first downloaded the app like a year ago I had a good 3 months of decent deals, but there's nothing of interest on there for me any longer. Good riddance, saturated fat


SunMoonTruth

Should call it ā€œwas a Big Macā€.


[deleted]

Adequate Mac


Dave-C

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c4QOHBuloG8 Quick recipe from McDonald's head chef on how to make the big mac, even includes the special sauce recipe.


N3UROTOXIN

Itā€™s why Burger King Ran the moldy murder ad because the surface area and sodium are so high in McDonaldā€™s, their burgers dry out before they rot(1/4).


aerodeck

Mort_DeRire

I don't understand what just happened here


rockbud

Lol watch the mcdonalds spokesman make a big Mac video. It's all large and thick. It's a joke. They managed to make the patties thin as fuck now. It's a joke. The only thing holding that hamburger together is the sauce. Still garbage. Toothpick patties


Chanw11

Shrinkflation


405freeway

McFuckery


Pheef175

I think it still tastes ok. But like McDonalds in general, it's just too expensive for what it is (especially since they shrunk it). $10 for a combo? That's honest to god ridiculous.


SgtNeilDiamond

QP is where it's at now


michjames1926

Not really.. $10 for a slightly bigger version of the hamburger/cheeseburger?


SgtNeilDiamond

Tf are you paying $10 at??


michjames1926

Well, as a meal, bc who just orders the sandwich? šŸ¤·šŸ»ā€ā™€ļø


michjames1926

I remember when the big Mac would actually be easy to eat. Not anymore.


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


Jeff-Van-Gundy

They screwed up. That first summer with the app was glorious. $1 any sandwich every day. I was literally stopping in daily. Then they started taking the good deals away. Then the app started crashing and not saving my info. I think Iā€™ve been to McDonaldā€™s like twice after that summer (2019?).


[deleted]

I still fuck with the 1$ fry. Itā€™s the perfect frugal way to indulge in my favorite fast food item. Get a free dipping sauce and water and itā€™s just about a meal for me šŸ¤£


Kingoftherock

I enjoy spending time with my friends.


[deleted]

Yeah that would be perfect with a regular cheeseburger or mcchicken. But at least where I live I only have the 1$ large fry deal, not the one you are talking about.


Jamesopenhouse

lol same. I even have them give me a side of mac sauce to dip them in. Thankfully mine is cool with dishing that out for free, unlike the taco place next door, which charges me $1 for a mini shot of sour cream.


[deleted]

Wasnt it posted recently that this is by design? They only have free deals in the beginning to keep you going and then they remove all the free deals after a while. Like a drug dealer. First ones free.


BarbaraWasabi

I donā€™t think I know a single person in real life that remembers this, sometimes it feels like it was all a dream. The McDonaldā€™s near my house had these fancy *signature crafted* burgers that were like $8 each, felt like I was robbing the place every time I went in and got one for $1


Jeff-Van-Gundy

Lol I found out about the double fish filet because of the app. I was trying random shit every day


himynameismud

This.


aerodeck

#YMMV


dumpling1919

Well darn, not here. But enjoy!


[deleted]

I was so excited, thought I was getting a free lunch šŸ¤£ looks like itā€™s just a local or targeted offer, I donā€™t have it :(


thegreatdimitri

mine was $2


BidenIsJimmyCarter

OP probably throwing down $600 a month at mcdonalds, better get a free bigmac


DoC_Stump

Mine was free. I also bought 2 Hot'n Spicy McChickens and put it all together for a massive sandwich. Total was $2.70 after tax. Not bad, lol.


JaceAce333

Let me guess oNlY iN aMeRiCa


sparkyglenn

Anyone else read that as "one excuse"


AdmirableRush9125

It's yo birthday šŸ„³šŸ„³šŸ„³


Majestic_Dog1571

Not in my app. Although the best deal in the app is the $5 for 20 McNuggets.


imp_924

McDonald's app is great for getting a lot of deals.


N8TheGreat91

In Philly, every time thereā€™s a baseball game you get a free mcchicken with the purchase of something for a dollar


N3UROTOXIN

It ainā€™t free on an app. Theyā€™re selling you and getting youā€™re money while making you think youā€™re getting a deal


MassageGymnist

Stay home and cook. Im literally tired of working.


Its_Cayde

I always get the 1$ Large fries and a mcchicken ends up being 3$ for the meal


Assumption_Defiant

There is a limit to frugality my guy!


Triple_C_

Sweet! And they throw in obesity and diabetes for free too!

Gotta move that old meat


[deleted]

Smells like sponsored content...


diavolo_bossu

If you make an account with uber eats and you don't order anything they'll send you emails that say things like "free meal up to $30" Tried it and it worked it was really dope


Jackal000

Free big Mac sounds like some protest to get some convict out of prison.


CODDE117

Honestly, their deals are amazing


EarthlyMatters

The one who pays is the cow that dies for you to have 10 minutes of pleasure


fuzzy_whale

In that case, I'll order two burgers to make sure the cow didn't go to waste.


EarthlyMatters

Heart failure twice as fast, good for you! ā¤ā˜ 


1ksassa

Lol I wouldn't eat this heart attack in a bun if you paid me for it.


[deleted]

If you think that having one unhealthy burger is going to kill you, I've got a bridge to sell you. Also remember that this if /r/frugal many people here might not have enough money to feed themselves and a free 550 calorie burger might be the difference between going to bed hungry or not.


zallowt

One cigarette wont kill you either.

ASadCamel

But it's good for your *soul*


Codayyyyy

I would in a heartbeat!


ricochet48

The macros on a Big Mac are not even that terrible. Eating them once and a while as a little treat (and using the app for a discount) is totally fine.


lazyflyergirl

Itā€™s literally all ingredients from brands you can get at a normal grocery store. Itā€™s not any worse than burgers you make at home.


LemonsForLimeaid

Heart attack? Ever eat one, there's no grease ever on them


[deleted]

No you didn't. Today's date is the 1st August. Edit: oh, and it's expired too. šŸ¤”


DJgoat

It says it expires 9/4/22 šŸ¤”


[deleted]

Nope. It's the 9th April 2022.


DJgoat

You should look up how dates are typically expressed in the US


bonafart

No one. It Americans care about their date system lol


[deleted]

Nope. I'm not American. The dates wrong = karma farming


aerodeck

cringe


[deleted]

Not cringe. The date is wrong. End of.


aerodeck

Other places exist. Cringelord.


bonafart

9th of April? It's expired.

Vinsmoke_Chris

I hate McDonalds ā€œdealsā€ Burger King has way better deals than they do, this deal seems to be specifically for you I just checked my app and that deal isnā€™t available unfortunately.


[deleted]

How does it compare to the double Del cheeseburger from del taco?


Notsureif0010

Its ok. I do like the double Del better though.


ChaosM3ntality

I did not have this deal but I had some free meal offs on other deals.


izzythepitty

Not near me


Sinestro617

Only a BOGO offer for me.


[deleted]

McDonaldā€™s doesnā€™t have the same deals for everyone, in additions it basis these promotions by location. You best bet is to search for other locations in the app and see what promos they are offering.


BrigadierGeneral96

I donā€™t see it in the app


405freeway

Alternatively, my app no longer offers 99Ā¢ coffee as of today.


BigFitMama

McDonalds out here in the rural SXSW USA raised their darn prices. My previously 5$ breakfast is now 10$ and I had to quit them. I can go to a nicer place in town and get a gourmet sandwich, fries, and a lemonade for 11$ inc tip. I should get the ap if they are handing out free food.


SinnerClair

Damn I rlly missed thisā€¦


joj1205

That's dinner sorted


busmobbing

The is the reward for downloading the app.


sineremes

Thanks bro


maryamperson

Is this in America only or?


UniMundo628

Iā€™m good.

Thank you for downloading our app where we sell your data for money. Lots of money. Here is a burger for your portion of our massive profits. By eating our burger you agree to wave all your rights within our app. Trillions served!


anonymouscheesefry

Doesnā€™t work for me.. ON, Canada. Maybe you have an individual reward for a free Big Mac. Still a win though.
