and you guys are here watching but I still don't have friends, let's start with the first big takeaway before we get to the top 10 tricks, which is a reminder.

If you're looking for your daily dose of deals beyond great savings on food from your favorite restaurant, check out Matt's Daily Deals. I use affiliate links, which means I benefit monetarily if you are kind enough to use one of my links. like this $19, 99 cent pair of Bluetooth headphones that double as a power bank, just one of the many deals you'll find on my website, so the first trick I want to start with is something you may already know, but Then I'll get to some really technical, less obvious secret things, whether you go to Burger King or McDonald's.

Chipotle, it doesn't matter where, and I'll cover all of this. I want to remind you that your food is rarely prepared fresh. unless you go during rush hour, so if you want to make sure your food is always custom made, customize your order even just a little bit, say something like extra tomatoes or I want two extra pickles and the moment your order is process immediately. It goes to a line where it is made fresh so you don't get something that has been sitting out for what could be half an hour depending on the restaurant and franchise.

I want to start with McDonald's and then I'll get into a Some other restaurants that are very popular and that are important to you are probably part of your routine. Let's talk about McDonald's now. McDonald's only uses fresh eggs in one of their sandwiches. Do you know which one it is? Yes, it's the Egg McMuffin. Now this is it. the only sandwich at the time I'm uploading this video that doesn't contain those flash-frozen liquid eggs, so if you want another one of McDonald's breakfast selections but want to enjoy the takeover, for example, the egg with bacon and cheese. cookie, ask McDonald's when they prepare your order the same eggs that are used as a McMuffin, sometimes they call them round eggs, sometimes they call them fresh eggs, but every time you see this folded egg it is not fresh like in the egg McMuffin, like this Just ask for it. egg and you can enjoy a wide selection of breakfast sandwiches where you now take control and get fresh eggs that taste much better fast food Hawk number three, a double cheeseburger and a Big Mac are practically the same with a huge price difference . which you can now control with a quick and free mod, so at the time I upload this video, bear with me for a second, a Big Mac alone is 399 four dollars and two cheeseburgers are two dollars, so two cheeseburgers are half the price. of a Big Mac now if you look at the Big Mac and all the ingredients that are encapsulated in this beautiful, magnificent burger or you might hate it because the burgers are so thin and by the way, you're more of a Burger King person. your favorite fast food leave me a comment.

I'd be very interested to know and that

will

help determine what I'll cover perhaps in my next video, but anyway the Big Mac includes the beef patty, lettuce, bun, cheese, pickle slices, and onion. The only differentiating factor between the Big Mac and the double cheeseburger is that the double cheeseburger has ketchup and the Big Mac has Big Mac sauce. Thanks to McDonald's kiosks you can get rid of the ketchup and add Big Mac sauce to the double cheeseburger and you get the exact same burger plus the added benefit of more processed cheese which could be really delicious, but you're paying half the price and you get essentially the same burger, just a tweak if you have a lot of cash to spare. trick number three before going from McDonald's to Chick-fil-a.

I have another trick that will help ensure you get less of the synthetic stuff and more of the good stuff, like the egg, which I compare the mocha frappe and McDonald's to. I enjoy their coffee drinks and I in the past, although I shouldn't be allowed caffeine because I get even more annoying if you can imagine me with that, the mocha frappe has chocolate syrup, the chocolate drizzle is just a chocolate syrup synthetic sugar. which is fine, but I'm not sure if you know that McDonald's will easily switch out the fudge they have at home, which is even more delicious in my opinion, and put it in your mocha frappe and every time I make it .

I've tried this, there has been no extra cost and to save, trick number four just calls for the fudge and you can skip the chocolate syrup with that quick and simple tweak that gives you a better product for the same amount of money You're Already Paying When discussing a value that's savings trick number five, sometimes paying a little more will get you a lot more. What a lot of people think about cheats, they often think it's okay, is how do I cheat the system or how do I use this? gimmick, but I'm a consumer advocate so sometimes advocating for one thing over another will make a big difference for you and I want to remind you that I would avoid the four, six and ten piece nugget sets depending on what you get. its price now let's look at the current price of mcdonald's and that will help support what I would like to express as my point at the time I upload this video ten Chicken McNuggets at McDonald's four dollars and 49 cents for 51 cents more you get 20 nuggets you double the number of pips you get for barely doubling your costs and you're not even close, it's the difference between 449 and 450 and then instead of getting 10 pips you get 20 now you can say to yourself, well I don't want 20 pips. don't eat 20 nuggets, it's not worth it maybe you eat 11 nuggets maybe you eat 12 nuggets maybe you eat 14 or maybe you bring a couple of nuggets home and turn them into a chicken sandwich the next day do you leave a couple for a side and you give them to a homeless person in your neighborhood who is outside the McDonald's.

There are many different ways to make it work, but chances are that if you're still a little hungry after 10 nuggets and 28 ovens, it's not something conceivable for you. or mine, well, it must be double. I would pay eight or nine dollars. Not so, it's actually a 51 cent difference and I'm sure McDonald's would rather you get the ten nuggets if you really do the math. and then buy other products and be hungry, so that's your fast food restaurant. Hawk number five, well, we're talking about chicken. Now I'm going from McDonald's to Chick-fil-a. I want to show you a quick illustration, this is a super cheap move, this may not be what you want to do, but I'm going to write it off as a hack because I've done it when things are really tight and my wallet is really empty and I'm really hungry . -A one-count chicken strip costs one dollar and forty-five cents and this is tremendously similar to what you get in their sandwich, which costs three dollars and seventy-five cents for the classic sandwich.

I'm not sure if you're aware of this, but you can just get the chicken strip and then order a bun order half the time I ordered an extra bonus order. They don't charge me for the toasted buns, they just give them to me and then when they charge me I think it's in there somewhere. between thirty and forty cents, so instead of ordering the chicken sandwich, just order the two strips and ask for a side of toast and if you order one chicken strip or two, depending on how hungry you are, you will be satisfied. pay less and most stores are very happy to make that adjustment and of course it's more cash in your wallet so the chick-fil-a trick puts more cash back in your wallet and now I'm going to put more food back into your stomach. where it belongs, which is fast food restaurant trick number seven and this one is for Chipotle.

Now I'm sure at Chipotle you know that if you want to order more meat and more protein, you pay more, but what if you want a little more? and you don't want to pay for it and you like two of the proteins that are available, whether it's a burrito scoop or a salad, things that have to be taken out, order two different types of protein, not double protein, but you asked Chipotle for two different. types of proteins, so let's use chicken and steak as an example when they use a spoon very similar to the one I have now and they're scooping up the chicken and steak and technically they're rushing through what they're supposed to do.

What you should do is measure half of the protein into a spoon. You can imagine that it almost never happens. They are operating quickly. Some of the people behind the counter are very generous. They don't have time to measure every detail related to your food. at least 1.5 times what you ordered in most cases, so if you can tolerate a second protein, you can even add both proteins from the beef family, no problem, order one of each , not double and you'll end up with at least half the protein you ordered. advance and that doesn't change your price, so keep that in mind to save secret fast food restaurant trick number seven trick number eight we're going to Starbucks and I'm going to share with you the two most important words I can Use it at Starbucks when you're overpaying for your delicious coffee or light tea drinks now in other restaurants when they are glazing your coffee, the coffee is not brewed or the Frappuccino or whatever is not brewed cold for your drink, that's rice.

It's useful, it keeps it cold, but at Starbucks all of their cold drink products are already refrigerated, they're already cold or chilled to begin with, so instead of half Starbucks put as much ice in their venti grande glass, which is what passed. I went downstairs and then measured the ice that they were putting in the drinks that I bought just to give you this demonstration instead of buying a venti, consider a grande, which is the Starbucks medium. I'm sure you know this and order a large light ice cream. The large light iced drink is the exact same drink size as what you would get in a fully iced venti and you can apply this trick as we go down the drink aisle and if you just want to get more bang for your buck and you absolutely need the size larger.

Still ask for light ice, the number of times they put ice in your drink and the amount of ice you end up paying for is very annoying to me as a consumer advocate, so make sure you control the ice, not the barista with the scoop. when you buy something at Starbucks for a fast food restaurant's trick number, we head to Arby's and then I can show you something at Taco Bell that will hopefully blow your mind before you go to Arby's and order your next classic sandwich. roast beef. to remind you that if you buy two sandwiches, it's actually going to cost you 20 cents less and you're going to get almost double the protein that you would get, so work with me for a moment and this has been something that I actually measured if you go to an Arby's restaurant and you get the classic roast beef sandwich you're looking at at least at the moment I raise this three dollars and twenty nine cents just for the sandwich if you order two jr. roast beef sandwiches at $59 each, you get more roast beef and more bun with the same deliciousness as the classic roast beef sandwich, which costs three dollars and twenty-nine cents.

I know this is only a difference of eleven cents, which isn't going to change anyone's life, but if you find yourself hungry the two jr. Roast beef sandwiches will actually give you a little more bang for your buck. If you fill up, you're less likely to buy something else and that's where the savings happen. I'm sure you're seeing some of these suggestions and you're thinking well, that's awesome and for others you're probably seeing, they charge you like nine cents, thanks to the deal guy, but I think if this tactic discourages you from ordering something else because you're still hungry for three dollars and fifty cents.

That's where the savings add up, so I'm throwing it in as an option: if you want a little more meat, you can make a small adjustment, that's what I would recommend, but I will tell you that it's one of the most common. Overpaying for products at Taco Bell is what I will show you next and this is savings secret number ten at Taco Bell. French fries and nacho cheese are one of the most purchased and loved side dishes. It costs one dollar sixty-nine. I don't know if you are aware of this, but for a dollar you can get the triple layer nachos and to make the triple layer nachos identical to the chips and nacho cheese sauce, all you have to do is tell them that save the rice and beans. and then you end up with more nachos, more cheese and you spend a dollar versus a dollar 69 and that adds up friends, that's a big difference, so I'm going to put that on your radar if you go to Taco Bell, they will.I will be more than happy to make that substitution.

In fact, I found that Taco Bell is one of the most customizable fast food restaurants, which actually brings me to my 11th bonus trick and this is because I know you didn't know there is I'm going to be a number 11, God, there is no life, I do it or I don't, okay this is DQ DQ, they fight in many of the months throughout the year to try to fend off the other franchises. and I think some of you will agree that if any Once you've had a burger at DQ in the past, you might not want to go eat it there, but anyway, that being said, Blizzards are delicious and delicious, by the way, if you don't agree.

With whatever I'm saying, please leave a comment. I would love to learn and hear from you, the DQ blizzards are highly customizable and besides the fact that there is a blizzard of the month and ways to work with some of the additional ones. coupons and deals that they post on their own website, they will gladly customize a basic Blizzard with Oreo or different treats that they can then mix together without charging you for those ingredients, so instead of paying more for it, Oreo fudge supersonic, whatever have. That particular week, consider buying a regular Blizzard and asking them to put some Oreo and some chocolate in it and you'll have almost the exact same ingredient composition, but it could save you $2, it's just the tip I didn't do.

Include that in my top 10 because it's a little hit and miss, but I hope you like it if you're looking for more tips, more tricks, if you want to learn more about secret menus tied to your favorite fast food restaurants, I'd love that. provide that information like this video if you liked it, subscribe to activate your notifications.
