Fast food giant McDonald’s made the headlines earlier this week when it announced it would be raising its prices for the first time in well over a decade. It added that there will be no more 99p cheeseburger, as this will be rocketing to £1.20.
The chain’s Chief Executive Office Alistair Macrow has said that this has increased pressure on the chain’s restaurants and suppliers. But now McLovers have sussed out a few loopholes which help you swerve price hikes, reports The MEN .
Definitely give them a try! Posting in the Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK group, Joey Tamburello wrote: “The McDonald’s Cheeseburger has had a price increase today for 99p to £1.20! Little too to beat it and get more for your money, buy a Happy Meal instead for £2.99! All the items would be £3.17 if brought individually, so not only do you save money, you also get a toy.”

Writing under the post, Karen Skidmore gave another hack to beat the price rises. She said: “Save your receipt, do a quick online customer survey and they send a QR code to get a big mac and fries for £1.99. If you don’t have a receipt on you buy a drink ( or something else small) then use that receipt to get the big mac and fries deal to make a meal.”
Natalie Osborne suggested: “Double cheeseburger with big mac sauce.. Half the price and u only lose the extra slice of bread.” Stacey Phillpott added: “If you order from the main till up front or the drive though you can get a coffee with the happy meal for the same price.”
