McDonald’s is slashing the price of two popular menu items by up to 65% – but there’s a catch
MCDONALD’S is slashing the price of two menu items by up to 65% – but there’s a catch.
The fast food giant is dropping the price of its Cheesy Bacon Flatbread and Quarter Pounder with Cheese, but the offer is only available tomorrow (April 10).
And fans will only be able to get the discounts when ordering on the My McDonald’s app.
Customers will be able to grab the flatbread for £1.19 instead of £1.49 between 5am and 11am – that’s 20% off.
Meanwhile, the quarter pounder will cost £1.49 instead of £4.19 – that’s a 65% discount.
Customers will be able to grab the burger between 00.01am and 4.59am tomorrow, then again from 11am until 11.59pm.
It’s worth noting prices on both the items can vary depending on where they are bought.
Customers looking to bag one of the deals will find it on the “Offers” section of the My McDonald’s app.
You can download the app on the Apple store or Google Play.
Anyone buying the items will pick up rewards points on them too – 119 points for the flatbread and 149 for the quarter pounder.
It’s worth noting you might have to pay a fee to get either of the items delivered.
It comes just weeks after Maccie’s launched a new campaign – Winning Sips.
Customers can bag themselves prizes worth up to £10,000 for every medium or large soft drink bought through the promotion.
How can I save money at McDonald’s?
If you’re a massive Maccie’s fan and looking for ways to save on your outing, there’s a few tips you can use.
You might not think it, but you can end up being charged more solely based on the McDonald’s restaurant you choose.
Research by The Sun found a Big Mac meal can be up to 30p cheaper at restaurants just two miles apart from each other.
Meanwhile, you can pick up a Big Mac and fries for just £1.99 by filling in a feedback survey found on any old McDonald’s receipt, so long as it’s not older than 60 days.
The receipt should come with a 12-digit code which you can enter into the Food for Thought website alongside your submitted survey.
You’ll then receive a five digit code which is your voucher for the £1.99 offer.
You can also try building your own burgers and save money in the process.
A Big Mac can cost as much as £3.99, but if you make a few changes to the order you can make your own for half the price.
Jordon Cox, dubbed Britain’s Coupon Kid, told The Sun how to get a DIY Big Mac for just £1.49.
You just have to order a Double Cheeseburger and add in the items you get in a Big Mac, so onions, pickles and shredded lettuce.
McDonald’s won’t let you buy Big Mac sauce to put inside, Jordon said, but if you add your own ketchup and mustard, you’ll get something similar.
And you can save yourself around £2 in the process.
