A McDonald’s fan has shared a ‘life hack’ on social media to get a burger and chips for just £1.99,a and fast-food lovers are fuming they didn’t know about it sooner
If you’re a McDonald’s dan and always on the hunt for a bargain, a savvy customer has got you covered. TikTok user @rightguysreview has shared a trick to bag yourself a burger and fries for just £1.99, which he claims works every single time.
While some might be aware that this ‘hack’ has been around for a while, it seems not everyone is clued in on how simple it really is. In a recent TikTok video, @rightguysreview spills the beans: “I’m going to show you how to get a burger and chips for £1.99.” First, you need a receipt from the fast food giant.
Don’t worry if you don’t have an old McDonald’s receipt lying around; the TikToker suggests buying the cheapest thing on the menu – which costs 50p sauce – to get started.
Once you’ve got your hands on the receipt, keep an eye out for a 12-letter code. All you need to do next is hop online and fill out a quick survey about your McDonald’s experience.
It’s a breeze to complete on your phone, taking no more than five minutes, and as a thank you, you’ll snag a code for a Big Mac with medium fries or a side salad for the bargain price of £1.99.
When you redeem your meal at the counter, you’ll get another receipt, which means you can keep the cycle going indefinitely.
TikTok users are already chiming in on the post, with one saying: “I do it all the time now you have exposed it.” Another worried fan commented: “No, don’t show people they will remove it.”
And a third revealed their own twist: “I’ve been doing this in secondary the only thing is I don’t pay for sauce I just asked for a receipt.”
This comes after Ryan and Jade, known as @live_thedash on social media, impressed TikTok users with their ultimate McDonald’s dessert hack that only requires two ingredients.
In a viral video, Ryan teases: “This McDonald’s hack will change your life – I’m excited.” The clip then shows Jade demonstrating how to simply order an espresso and McFlurry to create the treat.
“She’s seen pouring the hot espresso over the ice cream, stirring it into what she describes as the ‘perfect’ pudding.
Ryan adds: “This is the moment of truth – do you want to try it?” After tasting the creation, Jade exclaims: “That is so good!
There’s a subtle hint of coffee. It tastes like a Starbucks Frappuccino. Starbucks, you better watch out.
“Ryan, sampling the dessert himself, suggests: “If you want a sophisticated dessert in McDonald’s, get yourself on this little life hack. “.
