    Another McDonalds hack is if you have someone in your group who wants Sausage Biscuit and you want a Pancake breakfast.. You buy the "Big Breakfast Meal" with Hot cakes.
    You can then take the sausage patty you were given and put it between the biscuit you got with the meal and ta-da!! You have a Sausage biscuit sandwich for the one person and you get to have the pancakes! Even if they wanted a Sausage EGG biscuit, there's egg they can put on top too! :) Used this hack while at a convention and I didn't have enough money for me plus my friend to eat two different meals at the end of it.

    Also, at Culver's, it's cheaper to order the classic burgers with toppings and a family fry which is just over $5, as opposed to ordering separate meals. Everyone gets a burger, and you get a huge box of french fries! You don't get drinks, but you do get the same food for a much lower price. As I tell my family, "We have drinks at home."

    Here's a hack we need. Some pizza places leave 2 inches or more of plain dough at the edge while other pizza places cover the entire pizza with the toppings. So, sometimes you might be buying a 12" pizza but you're really only getting a 8" inch one (2 plain inches off both edges as you measure across the pizza).

    Our local library used to have bookmarks the kids filled out with books they read, when they hit 10 (I think) they got a free kids meal at Applebee’s. I grabbed them for my son, niece, nephew and my sons 2 best friends who lived next door. It was a great way to get them to read over the summer. We’d take weekly trips to the library to let them play computer games but they had to at least check out and read one book, then I took them all out for a big dinner to end summer the night before school started. It was such a fun way to celebrate, they were in 4th grade I believe, it’s been so long. He’s now going into 8th grade but I loved finding little ways to encourage reading and let them feel proud of their accomplishments. And it didn’t hurt that I was able to afford taking 5 kids out to dinner on my single mom budget lol. They even got dessert included I think!

    • @micheleolson9914
      @micheleolson9914 3 года назад +4

      Rewards programs earn more freebies and cash isn't always better. For example, Starbucks rewards earn more points if you pay with a loaded SB card on their app; buy discount cards and load them to the app. Earn bonus stars by buying/participating in promotions. Don't spend your points on anything small, save for the 400 points and get a freebie worth up to $20 in a store. Get a new mug, travel mug, reusable cups, ground coffee... whatever. I've gotten a free mug & Bodem cold brew maker so far. So while their coffee is expensive, compared to a $2 soda drink at a fast food place, I'd rather have have a crafted beverage & earn freebies too. You can also use a debit card to reload your SB card in the app.

      Sonics is yummy! My fiance and I went there one nite and got cheeseburgers. We each got a text for a free small shake ( when you sign up with your email, you get good half price deals and coupons sent in texts) but, on a funny note, after we finished our burgers, we decided to get the 2 small shakes and take them home. My fiance reached out of the car window to push the button and proceeded to order our shakes, he told the girl he had 2 coupons for 2 free shakes, her reply?
      "The shakes are half price tonight". He looked at me with the most bewildered look on his face, and repeated that he had 2 coupons for 2 free shakes, she again said, " ok, but they are half price tonight". He looked at me as if he was shocked beyond belief, at this point, I was laughing so hard, I thought I would wet myself. 😆 lol!
      So, he turned towards the speaker and asked, " ok, then, how much is half of zero"? Lol! The look on that girls face was a Kodak moment! I don't know if she even ever got the fact that we had free coupons! Lol! Another girl took over, shook her head at the first girl, and brought out our shakes! Lol! A date to remember! Lol! 😂

If you order any combo and are eating inside! Order the combo,but tell them you want the small combo! It will be the same burger or chicken size, but the drink will be small and few less fries!

      Wish they'd bring back the nut packs! When they nuked the caramel, they also killed the nut toppings. How can u have a Sundae without nuts?? Besides, the protein offsets the sugar. 😏😏😏
      McDonald's said that the "Toffee" (Caramel) & "Strawberry Sundaes" were removed from the menu because "they weren't very popular."
      BUT, further stated, "The Government recommendations regarding sugar consumption also played a part in the removal."
      It's like, "Are you fricking kidding me??!!" These guys are pushing drinks with TONS of sugars-- like all their "coffee" drinks. The Caramel Macchiato has 56 grams of sugar; Caramel Frappe (67g); Mocha Frappe (66g), Hot Chocolate (58g); and the Caramel Mocha comes in at 49g. Oh, and what about all the sugar in that "Super-sized" Coca Cola???
      And don't forget, they usually only list the nutritional info for the SMALLEST size. But the Sundaes were SO unhealthy they pull them from the menu?? Riiggghhhtttt....

    Great information in this one! I wondered if you could do a video on fast food deals based on ingredients. My service dog and I always stopped for Burger King breakfast on grooming day (4hr drive to his groomer.) A few months ago, we got our usual ham, egg, and cheese croissants, but they had a thick textured slice of ham instead of the usual deli-style thin slices. My dog wouldn't touch it; he didn't even recognize it as food. We go to McDonald's now for the English muffins. Last Veteran's Day, we got a hamburger from Red Robin or Chili's (I can't remember now.) It looked like hamburger, but it was squishy like colored foam. He wouldn't eat that, either. I did some research and found out about lab-grown meat and "upcycled" food (trash) and that consumers aren't told what they're eating. I use my dog's nose to tell the difference and make a list of places that still offer real food. Yes, he is awesome!

    I haven't had a sundae from McDonald's in probably over a year. As someone mentioned in the comments, the response is usually "the machine is broken" or it's after a certain time for them to clean the machine.
    Touching on the no caramel sundae being offered on the menu, I went to my Mc D's app and in my area (just outside of Chicago), it's still being offered. However, the strawberry sundae isn't...on the app menu, that is. Another side note, they got rid of the individually wrapped peanut bits to top sundaes over a year ago. There isn't a Dairy Queen close to where I live, so we rely on local soft serve shops and the likes of Culvers and Sonic for "fast food" soft serve/custard.

    Hey Matt, I’m a soon to be college student so I would like to please recommend if you could make a video on best deals for college students or how to save money on moving to dorms. Thank you and have a great day! I enjoy your videos and they’re really helpful :)

      My advice is don't buy every textbook they list for a class and you will save hundreds of dollars that way. You can borrow or photocopy the pages you actually need at the school library. Some of the books that were on my lists for college the teachers never mentioned or never cracked open even once all semester. Almost like someone had a conspiracy scam going to try to make more money off of excess books sales or something. Lol. Unless your school requires you to buy a specific school meal plan I wouldn't buy that either. For example I knew good and well I was not going to get up early (if I didn't have to) to go eat breakfast every day I also scheduled my classes late in the day, again, knowing that I wasn't a morning person. And really think about it. If you have a school meal plan you might eat more or less than what is allowed monetarily for that meal. Say the meal allotment is $10 and you only feel like eating or drinking a small snack and a drink worth $5. So you lose that other $5 completely. Or if you're extra hungry and want $15 worth of food and you're only allotted $10, you better have the other $5 to pay for it.
      Also, have your own stuff. Don't depend on your roommate to bring things. And no there really isn't a such thing as "We're going to evenly divide everything." One of you is going to use more soap, toilet paper, paper towels, eat or drink more of something than the other. Also roommates sometimes just up and move out randomly so if you were depending on the (insert shared item here) that they brought, you're up the creek without a paddle so to speak. I had the good fortune some semesters to be able to live alone and I wish I had lived alone the entire time I was in college. Good luck if you actually read this. Lol.

      ALOT of your text books can be found online in pdf version. Just google them asking for pdf, my son went thru and found most of his (just graduated this past year) My daughter currently uses this hack!!
      Another one is to use every food dollar you have for every week on campus at the regular cafeteria, not the little chic fil a's, even if you aren't hungry, grab to go items (breakfast bars, fruit, pop tarts, whatever) store them in your room for those late night snacks or those mornings you wake up late! Make sure you have your own fridge and shop!! No fast food. If you go to restaurant, buy regular size meal, not the smaller version to save money, take leftovers for the next day or that night's meal.
