Queenie Tan, who dispenses investment and money advice on social media under the username @investwithqueenie provides just that with her money-saving hacks for McDonald’s. Being a former employee at McDonald’s, she comes with first-hand experience of using these hacks herself.
Chicken nugget Happy Meal hack
Tan captions her latest video saying,
My first job was at McDonalds and this was something I learned when I worked there 🤯 did you know about this?
She then proceeds to show that if you want to get chicken nuggets, instead of buying a small nugget meal for $10.55 AUD, you can get the exact same thing for $8.70 AUD when you buy a chicken nugget Happy Meal instead.
She says,
Did you know you can save 20 per cent off a small meal by making it a Happy Meal instead?
I bought a chicken nugget Happy Meal for $8.70 AUD (£6.69) and I bought a small nuggets meal for $10.55 AUD (£8.11). I don't know what to tell you but they're the same.
Tan’s favourite McDonald’s secret item
In an earlier vide, Tan also shared a secret menu item that fans can order at McDonald’s. She shows how you can get a sundae for way less than the price by just ordering a soft serve in a lid with chocolate or caramel sauce. It costs way less but it’s basically the same thing.
She states,
You can get a soft serve in a lid with chocolate or caramel sauce. It’s like a mini-sundae but it only costs $1.3.
