McDonald's Student Deals

100% free McDonald's

Feeling adventurous? There's a way of getting 100% free McDonald's food if you're brave enough.

Until Tue 2 May McD's are running the annual Monopoly promotion, when there are stickers giving you a chance to win free food attached to all cardboard wrappers for chips, burgers and nuggets, as well as drinks.

Of course you'll get some stickers by buying food, but you'd be surprised at how many people don't check the packaging for stickers, which means there's a chance to snatch a freebie from other people's rubbish!

This year it's even better than usual because all of the 'free food' stickers give you a choice of what you can get, e.g a portion of fries or a McFlurry.

We've seen people loading up with £20 worth of food for just a few minutes of looking for discarded packaging!

If you like this, then you'll also like our 99p Big Mac Trick

You can also 'womble' to get free food at KFC.

Top 5 Ways to Eat for less at McDonald's

We're all guilty of purchasing a McDonald's meal after a night-out. more

We're all guilty of purchasing a McDonald's meal after a night-out.

So we've listed a few ways you can save on Mac meals and feel less guilty in the morning...

Top 5 Tips to Save at McDonalds

1. Student Discount:

Get a free Cheeseburger, Mayo Chicken or McFlurry Original when you buy any Extra Value or Wrap Meal and show your student or UNiDAYS ID.

2. Vouchers:

Discount vouchers are found in/on parking tickets, travel tickets (bus), newspapers, magazines or even in-store booklets. The vouchers normally offer a £1.99 discount on meals like a Big Mac.

Make sure you keep an eye out for vouchers during promotional periods such as McDonald's Monopoly.

3. Online Survey £1.99 Voucher:

Enter the 12 digit code on your McDonalds receipt at mcdfoodforthoughts.com and complete the short online survey. Then write the 5 digit code it generates onto your receipt and claim a Big Mac & Fries for £1.99 on your next visit!

4. Menu Hack - 'Budget Big Mac':

Did you know you can add, remove or change ingredients by special request? Well you can and these are called 'grill orders' (i.e. Big Mac no pickle).

It's definitely worth asking for the price comparison between a custom grill order or just buying two burgers and combining the ingredients (or removing the ingredients). You don't want to overpay!

There's a known 'grill order' that will actually save you money, it's called the 'Budget Big Mac'. Order the following:

- Order a cheeseburger which is 99p (or a double £1.49)

- Ask to have the burger without ketchup, then add lettuce and Big Mac sauce.

By eliminating ketchup and adding lettuce and Big Mac sauce, you're going to get something very similar to the Big Mac for a total saving of £1.80-£1.30!

5. Share with friends:

Sometimes ordering the bigger meals and sharing it with your mates ends up much cheaper! For example:

20 chicken nuggets costs £4.29 or £0.21p each

9 chicken nuggets costs £3.09 or £0.34 each

6 chicken nuggets costs £2.69 or £0.45 each

Perfect for a post night-out snack.
