McDonald's employee reveals secret menu tip
As per a McDonald's employee, if you want to buy a Big Mac, you should order two double cheeseburgers and then ask staff to add Big Mac sauce and lettuce on them. The result is essentially a Big Mac but it costs way less.
The staff is quoted by The Sun as saying,
For building off the menu, if you were to order two double cheeseburgers and ask for them to have Big Mac sauce and lettuce on them, that’s actually cheaper than buying a Big Mac.
Plus, you’re basically getting the same thing but with two extra bits of meat on it.

Here' how to score some chicken nuggets
For fans of McDonald's chicken nuggets, the staff has some sneaky advice as well. Instead of ordering two six chicken nuggets meals or two nine nugget meals, you should get one 20 nuggets meal. The staff explains why,
Also this one is probably more well known but loads of people will come through in a pair and order either two six chicken nuggets meals or two nine nugget meals.
But it’s cheaper in both cases to get one 20 nuggets - which you could ask to be split over two boxes if you wanted - two chips and two drinks.
It’s cheaper than two six nugget meals and you end up getting eight more nuggets.
Definitely some handy advice for when you go get your McDonald's fix this weekend.
