One of the things I never realized before watching the movie “The Founder“, is that you can find as many McDonald’s restaurants, as you can find churches in the States. There is even a line in the movie that refers to this very specifically:
[to Dick and Mac]
Ray Kroc: McDonald’s can be the new American church, and it ain’t just open on Sundays, boys.
It doesn’t matter where you are located in the USA, you will find a McDonald’s near by, and the best part is that they have the same menu everywhere. To me that’s the key to their business: consistency.
Most people around here don’t go to McDonald’s for a special event, or to celebrate anything in particular. I see it as a “transactional” meal, I’m hungry, I want something fast, I want something I know, I go to McDonald’s.
And for this reason, if you go to McDonald’s, you should use their app. You can customize your order as much as you want, you can quickly reorder your past orders and the best thing, is that you can get free food.
Just let me share with you how I get their new “Crispy Chicken Sandwich” with large fries and a large coke for just 1 dollar.
Step one, use this coupon for the free sandwich:
All you need to do is order a large soda (or any size that you want) to get this coupon to work. If you go frequently enough to McDonald’s, you already know that all the sizes have the same price, 1 dollar.
After you pick up the sandwich, you are going to make a second order and use this other coupon:
I usually do this through the drive thru, so yeah I’m eating my sandwich while I’m waiting for my fries.
Don’t be afraid of placing multiple orders, there is nothing bad on saving money using coupons.
Do you have the McDonald’s App in your phone already? What’s the best deal you’ve used here?
