How to Get Maximum Value Out of Fast Food Restaurants

With the rising prices everywhere, food has become expensive–even fast food. Here are a few ways you can get the most value out of your fast food orders.

Optimize Drink Sizing:

Oftentimes, fast food restaurants offer different drink size options. Although it usually doesn’t cost much to size up, fast food restaurants often fill larger cups with more ice to take up space. Something customers could do is ask for a large cup with no ice. Additionally, some restaurants have unlimited refills, so customers can buy a small cup and get multiple refills.

Buy Cheap Meal Combos:

Meal combos are a great way to save money on items at fast food restaurants. It also saves customers the headache of having to pick out each item. One thing to keep in mind though is that when ordering meal combos, customers can end up spending more money on things they wouldn’t necessarily have bought otherwise. It’s important to make sure that you aren’t spending money on food you don’t want just to get a small discount.

Order off the Kids Menu:

Fast food restaurants often have kid menus. Items on these are great for people who want to spend less money, but also want to eat less food. The kids portions are smaller and have good value, so as long as the restaurant permits it, ordering a kids meal isn’t a bad option.

If the restaurant doesn’t allow adults to eat off of the kids menu, you can also order it on drive thru rather than in person.  So use Kids Eat Free Promotions and others as much if possible

Save money with Restaurant Apps:

Fast food rewards programs are a great way to save money if you buy from those restaurants often. If you buy a lot of products, then you get more points which you can then use for free items.  Burger King's Promotions are especially good.

Save with Coupon Codes:

Similar to restaurant app programs, coupons are a good thing to check for. Many people don’t bother with coupons, especially physical copies, because they’re inconvenient and hard to keep track of. However, with BuyVia, online coupons are much easier to use and apply to different restaurants.
