I appreciate these hacks. But Matt, I do hope you're not eating as much fast food as it looks like! I want you to stay healthy. Plus, even with hacks, fast food isn't all that cheap any more. Sometimes it's a better, tastier meal by supporting your local mom and pop restaurants.

As a former OTR trucker who hauled loads from food factories, I can tell you there are many products that are made on a production line but are packaged in different corporate customers containers. They get an order for a run, from different customers, and when they meet the production order numbers, they just change the packaging. It's cheaper than resetting the machines. Kraft cheese is an prime example.

Your Favorite Starbucks Barista Here 💚☕️ 💚 Good call on the Shaken Espresso!! By default you’ll probably get less beverage because when we shake it, it foams up and leaves less room for the milk. Here’s how to order that will make the baristas happy too (we get tired of shaking that shaker all day long 😂) “May I get a Grande Iced Shaken Espresso, sub Vanilla for the Classic and you don’t have to shake it.” Now, it’s up to you if you want to forgo that extra shot of espresso that you’re gonna get for free, because it automatically comes with 3 shots instead of two in a regular Grande Iced Vanilla Latte, but if you don’t want 3 shots of espresso (they each have 75 mg of caffeine and by comparison a Grande cup of brewed coffee at Starbucks has a little over 300 mg 😮), you can say “just 2 shot of espresso please.” It’s as easy as that! As always a wonderful video with so many great ideas and tips!! 👍🏻

I've ordered burrito bowls at Chipotle, taken them home, split the contents of the bowl in two, and managed to get two meals out of them if I wrap them in a store bought burrito-sized tortilla. It's like a built-in BOGO.

The pizza hut reminded me of what I used to do with my roommate in college. They had a $10 coupon on every receipt if you answered a quick survey, and they had a $10 box combo that had a medium pizza, bread sticks, and cinnamon sticks. We'd answer the survey to get a fresh $10 coupon and only be out the delivery fee and tip for us both to eat. The location eventually stopped honoring the $10 coupon for everyone, because I assume we were not the only people to figure out that trick. Edit: The Panera Sip club thing - I work right next to a Panera so I maintain membership to it, but decided to cut back on caffeine so I went to cancel it after a couple months and it offered to lower the cost to $3/month for 3 months. I kept it since I would only need to use it twice a month to make that worth it but after the 3 months were up I forgot about it for a month and then went to cancel it again - same offer. $3/month for 3 months. I have now done this 3 times. Every time that deal expires, wait a month and go to the cancel subscription page and you'll get a 75% discount for 3 more months.

[@Erin_GB]

Mine for Panda Express is that you can add a third entree to a combo for $1.50 (at least at the location I go to). So, if you have three people, order two 3-item combos and give the third person the two extra entrees and 1/3 of each combo's side (I can never eat all of my rice). This also worked well when my kids were small, because I would just order the third item and give a child the extra item plus a little rice, instead of ordering a whole kid's meal. The third entree comes packaged in a small separate container, which makes it convenient.

[@thedealguy]

Wow this is a good one! Thank you Erin

[@karenmitchell6814]

I was going to leave this exact same comment. There are 3 of us that have done this for years! There is always enough rice or noodles for 3 people.

[@annalouise1217]

One of my favorite McDonald's hacks is to use the "buy one get one free" breakfast sandwich offer in the app. I choose two sausage biscuits, but add a few butters, jams, and a cutlery set under the condiments tab. They are free. I remove the sausage patties from the biscuits to eat separately, then add butter and jelly to the biscuits. It's a much more satisfying meal than simply eating sausage on a biscuit. I end up with 2 buttered and jellied biscuits and 2 sausage patties for $1.99.

So glad you liked the video Ellen!

[@sdahl5176]

Hi, I love your video as always! You rock! Thank you for the great tips. I read through all of the comments bc I wanted to see what other people listed as their favorite hacks like you asked. First, let me apologize on behalf of the human race. I'm so sorry for some of the snarky or unkind things that people say. You do an excellent job and don't deserve it. Second, people either don't pay attention or they're not all that smart or they're making assumptions and you know what they say about doing that... So I'm going to say a few things that I bet you feel but are too nice to say and that I'm usually too nice to say, but I'm just so upset on your behalf. Ok, to the people out there who said you don't eat fast food, good for you. You're healthier and better than the rest of us. You don't need to be holier than thou and make him or the rest of us feel bad writing it in the comments. He's just trying to help people that do eat out save some money and earn his own with the video! And to those telling everyone to learn to cook, etc. This man is NOT telling everyone to eat out everyday. He's just trying to help people save WHEN they do buy something. Also to those telling him what to do about his diet choices, just bc he takes a bite of something to make a good video doesn't mean he's eating everything he shows you, so stop criticizing him please. For those being ugly about the peanuts, he did make comments about not to be abusive or excessive with it and that the employees didn't seem to mind. He didn't say go take all you can carry or steal tons of nuts. For those criticizing his deals or saying it's not enough money or it's too much trouble, really? You seriously have to take the time to write a comment saying that?!?! He's just trying to help people save money. If you don't like it, just be nice and keep it to yourself. But for some people that one or two dollars or whatever amount for a family of 4 or 6 quickly adds up, especially if they eat out 2 or 3 times a month. For example, save a dollar for each member of the family of 6 =$6. Then say they eat out 1 time per weekend for the month, 4 x $6 =$24. That means he's just saved them $24 a month or $288 a year. And that is just with a one dollar deal, imagine it with the higher amounts! So give the man his due and show him some appreciation and respect. Please. Why can't everyone just think about how you'd feel if someone wrote this stuff about or to you? Just try to be kind is all I'm saying. And for everyone who said something good or complimentary or positive, you are awesome! Way to go! You probably made his day.

[@Calamity_Jack]

The problem with dupe food (IMHO of course) is that they're sometimes not quite as tasty or as high quality as the originals. For example, I got the Walmart Chik-Fil-A dupe sauce and it didn't taste like Chik-Fil-A sauce at all. And I've done burger hacks before only to find that the meat patty I got with the cheaper burger was significantly thinner and smaller in diameter than the original burger. That being said, I'm all for saving money, so I say follow your gut. (Pun intended!)

[@gingerzelidon3573]

Love this, Matt! TFS. Every little bit saved helps! You rock!

[@undeadfury55]

The only thing about the chipotle deal is that you can only add 6 toppings to the single taco but you can add up to 14 toppings with the burrito. You could still get 2 tacos instead with 6 toppings each and save $1, now that’s a good deal. Thank you!

The Aldi red bag chicken tastes better than chick fil a in my opinion. Besides that point the entire bag with multiple servings costs about the same as one sandwich at chick fil a so it saves a ton of money. Have also used the red bag chicken to make easy/quick chicken Parmesan when I have a opened pasta sauce jar in my fridge that I didn’t want to go bad.

Yeah, I gotta start checking my local Aldi's for those the next time I go grocery shopping (called Kirkland's Chicken Breast Fillets & Aldi's Extra Crispy Quick Fries), especially when there's one not too far from where I live compared to Sam's Club that's in another city (where I used to get Member's Mark Spicy Chicken Sandwiches). My nearest Aldi's is only 2.1 miles away while my nearest Sam's Club is 8.6 miles away from where I live in another city.

These are great for saving money so use them. Please don't save money on the tip. I no longer deliver but did for a long time. The delivery people work harder than many people think. It's not just riding around in your car. Collecting the food - finding the address often with unclear instructions from the customer and trying to track them down. You have to hustle to make money and you are paying high gas prices plus wear and tear on your car. If you can't afford to tip go pick it up. TIP !!!! Thank you.😃

[@danthemakerman]

I have purchased both the Aldi Red Bag Chicken and the Sam's Club Chic fila knock offs. In my opinion the Aldi chicken doesn't taste anything like Chic fila. It has good flavor as far a fried chicken patty goes, but it doesn't compare to Chic fila. The Sam's Club knockoff have a very briny/pickle-y flavor it can be little overpowering especially if you aren't a fan of pickles. I always get extra pickles on my chic fila sandwich so I don't mind it but I can definitely tell the difference between the Sam's Club knockoff and the OG.

[@cfit421]

Agreed about the Sam's Club knock-off. I had the nuggets, and they were exactly as you described (and I always get extra pickles in my sandwich too). Tasted nothing like Chick-fil-A, and I was so disappointed.

Just tear the custard voucher off the kids meal bag, and order your free scoop in the restaurant. Or if you are in the drive-thru, tell the employee taking your order that you would like your custard included with the order at the drive thru window.

I love your videos! I sent this one out to my friends and family! I also sent your last Costco video to one of my sisters, who I know drives an hour to shop at her closest Costco! Now we are waiting for your February Costco video!

[@julieparker5029]

I would love to find a money, saving hack for Jersey Mike’s. Love your videos, Matt.

[@zapatitosonic8975]

This is my first video and the first thing I learn is buy a happy meal than a 6 piece nuggets, this man is the real deal

[@eunicel5964]

Brilliant tips. Money is super tight and this really helps when it is a big deal to save that money and still be able to treat our families every once in a while

[@MaryWehmeier]

With prices going up.. we need to revisit these hacks.

[@pittroadsixzeroseven]

Matt I love all your hacks. Thank you for taking the time to share them. Now I just need to remember them. lol

[@bigal4101985]

Great video! I really appreciate the research, thought, and intent of your videos.

[@sandybruce9092]

That Chipotle burrito idea is absolute genius. I usually only get a veggie soft taco but think I’ll go yiur advise route next time I go there. Thanks!

[@CallieCullen13]

Extra tip: At Cane’s, you can ask for no drink to make it 80 cents cheaper! This is for if you already have soda at home or just want water or stop by the gas station and get 2x the size for the same price!

[@KoniB.]

Good tip about the knock off's of dipping sauce from the big W. Have not noticed them, but love me some chicken finger dips~

[@YASTravelsEatsWell]

That was very, very informative ! Good job!

[@tamjeanell]

Ordering kids meal sizes is sometime a good way to get more for less...kids be eating good on some of these menus...We are in Texas where they have Whataburger. The kids meals serve entree, milk or soda, fries or apple slices and a cookie for around $6!

[@darklordrowan6152]

Honestly great video, no sign up for this deal, etc. Just straight to the deals and easy to understand :D

[@scottholmes7069]

At McDonalds, out local as a 4 piece by one get 1 for $1. The price for the combo would be 2.79. Order 3 order for a total of 4.58. You get 12 nuggets rather than 10 for 4.29

[@candyboyer]

Wow it's a good thing I don't eat out much, prices are nuts! Great video Matt--

[@MsMilkytheclown1]

Steamed buns for the win! Thanks Matt!

[@Chadok89]

I don't know in the US, be here I always change something on the ordered burger to avoid getting one that has been done 10 minutes ago and was waiting to be sold.

[@ATCCPO]

Happy Meal hack prices didn't match, since the 6 piece Happy Meal starts at $5.59. Ends up being $5.98 before taxes, but still cheaper than $6.79 for the 6 piece regular meal! Great advice.

[@carolsummers8734]

As soon as Illinois raised minimum wage, most drive thru restaurants here hiked prices $1 on combo meals.

[@gotloveforall01]

That "I love you, byebye" broke my heart! 😭

[@adriennefein2284]

Thank you. I’ve never seen you doing any videos about fast food & your saving us all a lot of money 👍🏼

[@Jway_lol]

As someone who works at canes, the vanish combo comes with more fries than the box combo

[@RoyalMasterpiece]

This is needed now more than ever. Thank you.

[@christystokely8773]

I've never heard of Raising Canes.! It looks SOO good though! ❤️

[@jozeedz9549]

Love your fast food hacks. I always forward these vids to my college age grandsons & hubby (Taco bell fan)

[@mariebarger8631]

Oh wow. I have seen these videos, food, but never watched. I am very disappointed in myself. As usual you are the best! Thank you.

[@thedealguy]

Thank you for taking the time to watching this one Marie!

[@ElisaAvigayil]

My Chipotle hack is that I order the Kid's Make Your Own meal for $5.95. I request sofritas, 2 soft tacos, brown rice, and corn salsa with fruit. I get the plain milk and my kids have it with cereal the next day. It's vegan (for me), low in calories, I'm not overeating, it's balanced and healthy, and it's much cheaper than any of the adult menu items. The kids' quesadilla is even cheaper at $5.50, but I don't eat the cheese.

[@acatismansbestfriend5719]

Cane' savings for us, feeding 2 grown meals is the 25 finger family pack. You have to make fries at home but it sure feeds 3 people and has a lot leftover. It would be great for families

[@DarkMatterZero]

If you don't have a Sam's Club membership. Tyson also makes a Chik-fila style Chicken Sandwich and Spicy Chicken Sandwich. At Kroger affiliates they were $8.49 for a box of four. While the Sam's Club 10 ct box is $19.95 so Sam's Club is cheaper over all but I know the membership costs can be tough for some people. The Tyson brand Sandwiches taste amazing and are quick and easy to make.

[@RusstheTroubadour]

In my area some McDonald's locations have a 6 piece McNugget priced less than a 4. And two 6 piece nuggets are priced less than a 10 piece.

[@atomic32205489]

Speaking of Five Guys, we use those little cardboard peanut trays for the self serve ketchup rather than using several of those tiny clear plastic things.

[@thedealguy]

Smart!

[@UnitedPebbles]

I did not evem know about the peanuts. Cuerno???

[@bigmike4950]

Thank you very much for the info!! I'm heading to Costco's this weekend to pick up the chicken breast for the chicken sandwich.

[@eljones247]

Thanks! Keep them coming

[@thedealguy]

You know I will!

[@Chris.Newbury]

Crazy, I'll try to apply your way of thinking in France (since I'm french), pretty sure I'll get the same kind of results you had. Thumbs up 😃

[@pinschrunner]

I have not eaten fast food in 20 years. I did it by absolutely pretending it did not exist so that I could t even consider it. Wow, it is so expensive, I can eat organic every single meal for that price.

[@sunshine72699]

Heads up on the Sam's dupe for nuggets! They have a very strong pickle taste, which I know chick fill a uses pickles in their marinade but you can super taste it in the nuggets. I'm not a fan of pickles so heads up!

[@vickieaxell9518]

This is great to know. Thanks!

[@thedealguy]

Thanks for watching Vickie!
