- I have 10 huge new fast food hacks
to get you the most food for the least amount of money
from Starbucks, McDonald's, arby's Chipotle,
Burger King, and more.
Welcome back to the channel.
I am the YouTube Deal Guy, Matt Granite.
This is actually my fast food huts video part three part one
and two were not only well received by you guys,
but you were kind enough to leave some awesome comments.
Many of which I will share as some insider secrets to help
you save money. If you do like this type of content,
please subscribe, turn your notifications on.
You'll know when I have my next release of big insider tips.
And if you could give this video a thumbs up,
I'm trying to get it to more than 10,000 likes,
mainly because I don't have many friends other than you
guys. And it just helps me feel good.
Let's start with the first hack and in a few moments,
I'll also be sharing your insight as we count down all of
the top fast food hacks, beginning with Chipotle.
I want to remind you guys that when you are at this
restaurant,
if you pass on meat or the so Frieda's protein option,
you can get guacamole for free.
And if you're not willing to skip out on the protein and you
want to add the guacamole,
always ask for it on the side because they tend to give you
significantly more guarc.
If you ask for it on the side,
rather than if you get it in a burrito or a burrito bowl or
preassembled,
it's just something that I've seen time and time again as
fast food hack. Number one, fast food hack, number two,
which is also going to be for Chipotle before we move into
our next restaurant is your terminology when you're at the
counter. So first things first,
obviously if you order a burrito bowl,
I think in my estimation,
you'll get around 30% more protein.
If you go for the burrito bowl and you can always ask for
your shells or tortillas on the side,
but this is where I really want you guys to be careful in
terms of how you ask for things.
If you say extra rice or extra meat,
that immediately brings another charge that gets added to
your bill.
But if you say something like a little more please,
or could I have just a little bit more rice please,
or just a little bit more meat, please?
A lot of the time the person serving you will take that as
their responsibility.
And that may be when they grabbed the scoop,
although they measure it out, it wasn't precise.
And as I mentioned in my earlier video,
just to remind you guys, if you want to mix proteins,
you'll actually get more meat.
So if you want to do half steak and half chicken,
since the scoops that they use are measured up for one full
size, when they try to do half a scoop,
you'll generally actually end up with more protein.
So reminder to split your proteins rather than ask for a
second protein, if you just simply want more meat.
And if you say a little bit more, please,
rather than that keyword extra,
which triggers a secondary charge, you're good to go.
Let's move on to fast food hack. Number three.
Now the best advice I can give you pertaining to Starbucks
is if you want to save money, don't go to Starbucks.
But if you are going to go here is a quick trick tied to
what terminology used there.
And then what type of drink you ultimately end up with.
And this is actually tied to of the most popular beverages
at Starbucks, millions of people every day,
start their day off with an iced latte.
However,
this drink can be pricey when it doesn't have to be,
and you can save roughly two bucks on your next coffee
order. If you do the following,
skip the regular iced cafe latte,
and instead order a triple espresso on ice and do that in a
large cup.
Once you have your three shots on ice and a large cup,
go to the condiment counter and pour your own milk.
If you do this in a large cup,
not only do you have room for the milk,
but you're saving two bucks and you're getting the same
drink rather than paying a barista to do it for that $2
extra charge. When they add the milk for you,
that is huge savings.
And what for many of you is your daily go to beverage or a
special treat beverage.
Your fourth fast food saving hack is all tied to the app.
And not only are the apps being revamped for the holiday
quarter and Starbucks has just announced some type of new
addition to the rewards program.
But I wanna remind you guys that you get a lot of freebies
just for using this app. The,
my Panera rewards app will give you a free pastry just for
signing up. Domino's has a really solid reward program.
When you download the DQ app, as an example,
you can get a free small blizzard just for putting that app
onto your phone. So I know for a lot of us,
the last thing we want is another app and we don't want the
notifications,
but if you do frequently go to fast food restaurants,
or just want to treat yourself for the convenience whenever
you can, while I'm doing a lot of hand motions again,
I'm sorry. It's annoying.
This happens when I get excited,
I'll put my hands behind my back and just sum up this point
by telling you the apps are a great way to go.
As we move on to fast food hack, number five,
consider the kids meals at your favorite fast food
restaurants. These days,
the kit meals are barely different when it comes to the
amount of food that you get.
Although the significant difference is tied to the price.
Now, although I am a dad and I do have a two year old,
I will tell you I don't,
I don't really give her fast food ever,
but when I need my fix,
you can build a meal with rice beans steak and two tortillas
for $5 at Chipotle, you'd be paying almost double.
If you were to not go for the kids' version.
And I will tell you right now,
no one at any of these fast food restaurants working the
cash register will give you any type of dirty look.
You could easily be buying it for a kid,
or you could just simply want the value or a smaller
portion.
Fast food hack. Number six is tied to five guys.
Technically I should have done this as number five,
cause that would have been witty and fun. But anyhow,
here we are fast food act number six,
and a reminder that if you frequent this very popular burger
and French fry restaurant,
that's been around for a long time.
You get free bacon on any burger you order.
And a lot of people don't know that.
So if you simply say bacon, please,
you will get a free slice of bacon.
But what some people don't know is if you say bacon, please,
more bacon, please, more bacon, please.
You can end up with three, four,
five slices of bacon on your burger. Now,
obviously I'm not producing this video to advocate for your
arteries,
but what I am letting you know is there are different ways
to fill up if you're tight on cash,
tight on time and in a crunch where you don't necessarily
want to be paying for extra toppings or patties bacon could
be your best friend, fast food, hot number seven.
And this one John is tied to Domino's.
Some of you might already know this,
but I'm going to point this out because I just watched
someone in line a couple of weeks ago when I was buying
pizza for my wife order a Hawaiian pizza.
And they overpaid significantly by doing that,
if you are going to order a specialty pizza like a Hawaiian,
you'll be charged something close to $18.
But if you ask for him and pineapple,
you're generally around that $13 Mark,
you're basically paying $5 extra just by selecting the
specialty pizza rather than taking the time to put on your
own toppings.
So I'm going to recommend customize your pizza.
Start with whatever base you need.
Figure out the number of toppings you want,
but make your own specialty pizzas.
Don't pay to say the word Hawaiian.
When you could just add your favorite toppings like
pineapple or ham. And by the way,
does anyone actually like Hawaiian pizza,
please educate me school me,
tell me I'm silly and leave a comment right now.
I am curious about that.
And before we get to saving secret number 10,
which you are going to want to hear,
because it is mind blowing.
I will also be bringing in some of the comments from
subscribers.
So if you guys are watching and you have a comment again,
the best thing about this channel, you guys.
So if you are able to subscribe awesome,
I'd love to have you around on a regular basis.
And if you're just a casual viewer right now,
please still leave a comment because that's going to bring
us to fast food hack number eight.
And this one comes from this comment right here where this
person says, speaking of fast food hacks,
I just discovered one recently at my local McDonald's the
offer is this thing called a bundle pack.
And a reminder bundle packs exists at most McDonald's
franchises. They are readily available.
And for this specific individual RGSA 72,
it includes two big Macs, too cheeseburgers,
a 10 piece McNuggets and two medium fry meal for 1499.
That's almost like getting the entire thing for less than
half price. Now, granted,
the bundle meals don't include fountain drinks as that
subscriber pointed out, but still substantial savings.
Even if you buy the drink independently or just go for water
in a cup,
that is an amazing bundled value right there for fast food
hack, number nine, we're going to head to Arby's.
And I don't know if you guys have ever tried a slider,
not only are they delicious,
but instead of the classic roast beef sandwich,
try ordering two roast beef sliders.
The sliders are around a buck, 50 a buck, 75,
depending on where you're watching in the country.
The classic roast beef sandwich is three 29 or more.
You get more food,
more calories and more deliciousness in two sliders than you
would with a classic roast beef sandwich.
And you are getting that for way less in terms of cash,
fast food hack. Number 10,
before I get into a few bonuses is also from a subscriber
and her name is Lisa. And she said in my last video,
I didn't mention burger King. I can't remember.
That was my first or second fast food hack. So guys,
please go back and look, you'll learn a lot more,
but they have their two for $6 menu.
And one of the things on that menu is the impossible
Whopper. Lisa G is pointing out that if you buy two of them,
you get both for $6.
If you'd order one of them you'd pay five 99 just for that
specific sandwich.
So as Lisa draws attention to the two for $6 menu,
I'm going to remind you guys that there were all sorts of
favorites. You can mix and match.
There's the impossible Whopper, the Whopper,
the spicy chicken, the Crispies,
the two for $6 is not only an incredible deal,
but you are getting two sandwiches for the price you would
pay for one.
So thank you for pointing that out in the sandwiches and the
selections and the availability will change.
It's not the same every week, every day,
but that is really important information for anyone that
enjoys burger King and for year two bonus tips of the day in
the last video where I discuss McDonald's,
it was discussing how to ensure that you get a brand new
freshly made burger for something that doesn't sit under the
lamps for as long as they sometimes do.
And I realized there's time controls on all of those,
but if you want a fresh burger,
rather than having to do any drastic changes to it,
if you simply asked for something like extra lettuce,
even if you have to pull off a little piece of lettuce
afterwards, and you don't want that much lettuce,
your burger will be assembled from scratch.
I can guarantee it. That does make a big difference.
And then at Starbucks, I also want to remind you guys,
I know we had a whole debate in my last upload on ice and
how much ice is in the drink.
But in addition to that light ice debate that we all
enjoyed.
If you are with someone and they want the same drink,
as you simply ask for a Venti and a second grand day cup
event day is 24 ounces. A Grande day is 12 ounces.
So if you order just one Venti of the exact same drink and
you pour it into the second cup,
you are saving almost half price on the drink itself.
And I realized that you do need someone with you that wants
the same drink, but Hey,
if you guys want to Grandes that savings,
I know that's not a life changing hack,
but that is why I've classified it as a bonus. Now,
each of these fast food secrets and hacks are hopefully of
interest to you. And if there's at least one thing on here,
that'll save you a few dollars here, a few dollars there.
It adds up over time who doesn't want to save money. And,
and if you have ways to work within the confines of a menu
in order differently or say things you're not taking
advantage of the system, you're just being smarter.
And I know you guys are a lot smarter than I am when it
comes to many of these decisions. So please share a comment,
let me know what you do,
and maybe that'll make it into my next video.
Thank you so much for wathing. I love you.
Bye bye.
