couponing savings junkies have been learning the tricks of the food industry for years now
do you want to save on your next trip to the drive-through then take note of these 10 fast food
secrets that will save you money opt for a frito burrito you want to do something fun you want
to go to taco bell one of the best reasons to get your fast food fix at taco bell is its reasonable
pricing with some menu items clocking in at just one dollar you can enjoy taco bell no matter your
budget which means there are lots of fun tricks to use that can help you maximize what you get
for the money one of the best ways to do this is by taking advantage of taco bell's dollar menu
while also using their customization options so you get as much food as you can for as little
as possible i'd like six thousand chicken fajitas please hi thank you pardon uh six
thousand chicken fragis taco bell's frito burrito is a dollar menu option allowing you to pay only
a buck for the base of your burrito from there you can add whatever toppings your heart desires
extra meat rice beans cheese or sour cream though taco bell will charge you for adding extras the
price will be drastically lower than it would be if you ordered one of their larger meatier
burritos and you'll only be paying between 250 and 350 for it depending on what toppings you plan on
adding to your customized frito burrito order your big mac differently can i have a they never feed
you with those things meal please as far as fast food goes mcdonald's pretty much reigns supreme
in most areas with their extensive breakfast menu tasty dessert options and notoriously salty
delicious fries however mcdonald's is most known for their burgers and advertises their big mac as
being the godfather of their sandwich menu are you okay sweetums despite its lofty reputation
the big mac actually isn't all that big at all in fact it's pretty much an embellished version
of mcdonald's double cheeseburger which you can get for far less money they carry the same basic
toppings and ingredients except for lettuce and the fact that the big mac has mcdonald's special
sauce while the cheeseburger comes with ketchup to save a pretty penny on your next mcdonald's order
replace the ketchup on your double cheeseburger with big mac sauce you'll basically be getting
the same sandwich for far less money you can even ask to add a bit of lettuce to make it more
authentic this quick trick is even easier now that mcdonald's has implemented kiosks in many of their
stores allowing you to customize your food as much as you want these new customization options
are great if you're a picky eater or if you're looking to cheat the system and save a few dollars
protein at chipotle welcome to chipotle thank you for your bravery one of the most
frustrating things about ordering at chipotle is the extra charge they add on if you want to add
more protein to your order for those who can't get enough of their chicken and steak burritos
not being able to double up without paying more can be disappointing when you're hungry
well guess i'm broke again the next time you're looking to add protein without paying more ask
if you can get two different types of meat without doubling up half chicken and half beef for example
since chipotle employees want to serve you quickly they may not measure exactly half of a serving of
each protein which will likely leave you with more than what you'd normally get if you didn't split
your protein choice in half some say that using this sneaky trick landed them with nearly double
the amount of meat simply because the chipotle employees were trying to get their orders out
quickly and didn't have time to measure out both the chicken and beef though the success rate
of this hack depends on which chipotle you visit and which employee is serving you it's definitely
worth a try seeing as it won't cost you anything extra save mass on taco bell nachos and it will
be like a taco inside a taco within a taco bell taco bell's nachos with cheese sauce are one of
their most popular and well-loved side orders for a dollar 69 it can be hard to resist the allure
of adding more carbs and cheese to your meal if you're looking to save more during your next visit
to taco bell try ordering the triple layer nachos instead of the plain nachos and cheese weirdly
enough the triple layer version is only one dollar and includes beans red sauce and nacho cheese
that's my nacho if you want to order them plain ask your taco bell server to hold the beans and
red sauce giving you the same nachos with cheese sauce that you would be paying nearly 70 cents
more for originally seeing as taco bell is super willing to customize any order it shouldn't be
an issue to switch things up for these nachos at the drive-thru window not only that but the
triple layer nachos are a whole lot bigger than the nachos with cheese sauce since the latter
of the two is advertised as a side dish taco bell can get away with making them smaller than an item
featured on their dollar cravings menu the size difference may be counter-intuitive but using the
size and price differences to your advantage is key in saving as much money as possible at
taco bell finesse your kfc a hot tub full of kfc gravy cow did you ever think you would see that
in your lifetime though this hack has proven to be effective it's not for the faint of heart the next
time you're feeling adventurous and want to save a few bucks on your kfc chicken order try heading
over to the restaurant near closing time or after the lunch rush during these times the restaurant
is likely trying to get rid of the chicken that wasn't used earlier and may be able to give you
a great price for it seen as they have to throw it away if they can't sell it though it sounds
completely ridiculous numerous kfc customers have reported that you can actually bargain
with kfc before closing or after lunch time to get there a leftover chicken and side dishes for
a lot less than what you'd originally pay afc bucket and a two liter seven up thank you sir
he forgot to charge me for the drink one customer says he managed to get a whopping 15 pieces of
chicken with every side for only ten dollars since kfc didn't want to waste any of their chicken
and lose money in the process if you're not afraid to barter for some good fried chicken and biscuits
it's worth a try be sure to get to kfc near closing or after the lunch rush though as those
appear to be the only times this hack has actually worked order your burrito bowl differently
can i get some cheese whiz or hollandaise out with a friend at chipotle and looking to save money
order your burrito bowl with a tortilla on the side after using our previous trick to
get more protein for the same amount of money you'll have enough meat in your burrito bowl
to feed two people instead of just one been had lunch since yesterday so i'm gonna head over to
chipotle burrito bowls are already huge to begin with and if you're not a huge fan of having tons
of leftovers in your fridge splitting one with a friend will save you both lots of money on
your next trip to chipotle besides ordering your burrito bowl with guacamole which is definitely
the best way to do it no questions asked will mean the guac won't keep for very long so it's
a much better idea to eat the entire burrito bowl while everything is still fresh from the
chipotle kitchen adding a side tortilla is much less expensive than paying for a whole new meal
while still allowing your friend or partner to eat their fill of your burrito bowl this hack combined
with the previous method of ordering two proteins for the price of one will fill you and your friend
up with little to no leftovers but will save you both the price of a second chipotle meal
get the most out of subway there's a delicious subway food montage going on right behind me isn't
there hungry for subway but hungrier for savings the next time you find yourself at this sandwich
chain with a friend decide on a protein you both like and split a foot long sandwich instead of
ordering two six inch sandwiches separately ordering a foot long will be cheaper but you'll
still be able to ask your subway server to split it in half and customize each side separately
essentially giving you two sandwiches for the price of one though you and your friend will
have to decide on which protein you want on your sandwiches there won't be any overlap otherwise
unless it's something both of you want with this in mind you can also maximize your order by asking
for the freshest veggies possible crunchy muncha for a chain whose motto is eat fresh subway does
like to use their veggies as much as they can with their tomatoes often looking less than stellar in
the display case to bypass slightly wilted lettuce and sad looking jalapenos simply ask your sandwich
artist for the fresh batch of vegetables subway employees usually keep their freshest veggies just
beneath the ones on display so it shouldn't be too much of a hassle for the person behind the counter
if you ask them nicely most subway workers will be more than happy to make the switch and allow you
and your friend to eat fresh while saving some cash in the process own your onions
hey who left this bowl of onions here onions are an essential burger topping but they can
sometimes feel soggy or just plain disappointing when you order them at fast food restaurants
this is because most onions are rehydrated for quick service at fast food restaurants making them
anything but fresh ah here we go onions the next time you're at wendy's mcdonald's or burger king
ask them for fresh onions on your burger it's likely that the employees at your favorite burger
chain have fresh onions behind the counter that they use for other menu items and would
treat your request as a simple substitution to your burger though it'll be saving you from the
sadness that comes with seeing a few flecks of pitiful rehydrated onions on your burger
it won't cost you a penny this trick if successful is guaranteed to give you better tasting burgers
every time with the added crunch of fresh onions it'll feel like you're eating something way more
high-end than a simple cheeseburger make your own latte tall peppermint hot chocolate for chloe
starbucks is a great place to pick up a coffee that will brighten your day but you might not
be smiling that much when you find yourself paying more than five dollars for one drink to save money
the next time you want a plain latte ask your barista for two shots of espresso on ice then
add milk from the self-serve milk station ordering your latte this way will only cost you the price
of the espresso shots making it much cheaper than buying a latte up front what can i get you um get
tequila on the rocks please sir it's a coffee shop since iced lattes are essentially espresso ice and
milk you won't be missing out on the essentials by ordering it this way however there are a few
drawbacks that come with using this method because all you'll be asking your barista for
is two shots of plain espresso it's likely that you won't be able to sweeten this drink but the
simple syrup starbucks uses as they don't tend to keep it near the milk bar you can always use the
sugar packets from the milk bar but it might lead your drink to having an odd or unpleasant texture
light ice can make a huge difference vendi is large no fendi is 20. another hack you
can use at starbucks or other higher end coffee shops is to ask for light ice in cold beverages
though this not so secret hack has been plastered all over the internet by now it also never seems
to fail asking for light ice at starbucks will always end and you getting the most amount of
coffee for your money though it may seem weird to micromanage your coffee's ice levels at first it's
no different than asking for an extra shot of espresso or a pump of hazelnut flavoring
light ice is simply the best way to take advantage of the seemingly endless customization options
that starbucks gives its customers allowing you full control over your morning coffee order
oh god that's good the best part of this little hack aside from the money you'll be saving is the
fact that your drink will still be cold because starbucks keeps their cold drinks refrigerated
they rely less on the ice to cool everything down in the cup allowing your drink to maintain its
refreshing coolness without needing too many ice cubes save even more by ordering your large sized
drink in a medium cup with light ice which will give you just about the same amount of coffee for
far less money starbucks coffee is already pretty expensive so ordering with light ice can give you
more of your handcrafted drink at no extra charge stick around tap on that screen for
