Why not include tax. You have to pay it don't you?

[@Vwk9yu]

Hi Matt! Our local Costco has the food court outside and requires people to scan their membership. It’s a fairly new policy but thought people should know. Love your videos!

[@zullo3529]

@The Deal Guy You’ve been hacked again!! See reply to my comment!!!

[@carolbenson6524]

I'm 74 and love ordering from the kids menus...saves so much money and I don't eat large meals any more. It's fun!

[@elaineburnett5230]

Exactly

[@Mrs_Guac_and_Glock]

Thank you for adding the bit about respecting the employees. We all need more kindness right now.

[@lindseygillespie4320]

Starbucks barista here. You can just as for a pup cup which is the little sample cup filled with whip cream. It's totally free and we are encouraged to offer it to people with dogs but are just as happy to give you one for your kiddos 😊. This last Christmas we had a sugar cookie latte that got topped with red and green sprinkles. I'd offer the kids a pup cup with sprinkles on top 🥰

[@madisonmoody5190]

with the chick-fil-a hack (coming from an employee) some stores have a chicken sandwich kids meal and it’s the exact same sandwich as the regular meal. in case 5 nuggs won’t cut it for you.

[@katrinab7657]

Well, thanks for this! I was contemplating a chick fil a kids meal for dinner tomorrow!

[@liqquasippa28]

​@@katrinab7657 fyi: I don't know of a single chic fil a that offers a chicken sandwich as a kids meal option and I checked the chic fil a website and don't see it offered on there either.

[@gardeniagirl1374]

I like the egg white grilled chicken sandwich and the kale crunch salad.

[@92spice18]

Is it possible to swap the milk for a soda or lemonade?

[@madisonmoody5190]

@@92spice18 it should be, if i’m not mistaken you get any drink with a kids meal. specialty drinks are the only upcharge i’m aware of

[@czntrm]

Your disclaimer about the hacks not being worth ruining someone's day in a fight over it, was very sweet!💖 That's one of the reasons why I rarely use hacks or even coupons...trying not to make their lives more difficult or stressful. Working retail and fast food is hard enough. 😓 But thanks for these tips! 😁

[@kerryhogan8570]

Agreed. Much respect, Matt!!!!!!!

Straight coupons are easy for them to deal with, if not blame management for not teaching them how to deal with them.

[@chevynation6476]

For the Dave’s double deal, make it the $5 biggie bag double stack and add the lettuce tomato and it come with nuggets for even cheaper 😅 $5.65 for me

[@JenguhBlock]

Plus upgrade to pub fries for $1 😅

[@LindaC616]

​@@bocanegraeric20we still have the $5 one where I live, but I think that the choices are the junior bacon cheeseburger or a chicken sandwich, and I think the chicken sandwich may be smaller than the normal one

[@star.set76]

I love how these are all real hacks and, as a fast food employee myself, thanks for saying that these aren't worth ruining someone's day over. It'd hard and sometimes rewarding work.

[@dawnnelson7651]

I’m disabled and limited income. Thankfully I saved through working years. Eating out is a rare thing for me but this video is FANTASTIC. Keep these coming.

Thank you for this content. People are facing tough times and these cost-saving videos are extremely helpful.

Another good kids meal hack at DQ is the kids meal comes with an ice cream cone, but for a dollar more you can make it a Blizzard. Nice cheap meal

[@Nicole.T121]

Thank you for adding the psa comment about being respectful to fast food employees. We all are trying our best to just get by in this economy. Love your channel. God bless you and your family 🫶🏻

[@oSTARCHILD]

I feel for y’all. I never did fast food but have worked in restaurants for ~15 years as a cook. I could never with the customers y’all deal with. Like what’s going on in your life where you need to treat someone (making your food none the less) so poorly at times.

[@heidililly8496]

Matt, the kids meal at Culver’s is the same size as the snack meal, but with the kid meal you get a single scoop of custard with one topping and a ticket that you can save up and after ten kids meals you can get one free.

[@thedealguy]

Yes! I covered this tip in my last Fast Food video as well! kzbin.info/www/bejne/pHW2Y3ydprKAlck

[@zolli6769]

Great info, thank you!

I love Culver's. Also Beef-a-roo. 😉

[@eb7713]

My hubby and I sometimes go to Jason's Deli (in Texas) and split a great fresh meal with leftovers for about $15. We order a large BBQ baked potato cut in half (they will put it on separate plates) and a 1 trip salad bar (a chilled bowl that we load up with our favorite salad goodies and jalapenos for the BBQ), and two ice waters. We put lemon in our water, ask for an extra small bowl for dressing, use the provided small plates for complimentary gingerbread muffins and garlic toast, then have dessert of chocolate or vanilla soft serve ice cream sprinkled with nuts from the salad bar. We end up taking a large part of the salad and potato home for a nice supper later.

[@tracyfontsere6388]

You're my new favorite channel!!! I started watching you for one of the Dollar Tree videos. We love The Tree!!!! As a busy family, I have to admit we do get fast food on the go a couple of times a week, which my child loves. Learning these hacks is going to really save us some $$$. Thank you so very much!!!!

[@jenk7138]

Thank you for adding that bit about being nice to the workers. I'm a restaurant cook and we could all use a little more patience these days. Happy cooks=better food ☺️❤️

[@kennedyjones4949]

Hello dear how are you doing?

[@rcschmidt668]

And “hacks” such as asking for free bacon seems IMO like abusing the system. Saving money by creative ordering already on the menu is different.

[@donnalasala48]

Matt any money saving tips for groceries...fast food...restaurants are so appreciated...the prices for everything has gone up substantially! Thanks for all you do!

[@teliciasmith3552]

Never heard of a tastemaker at Pizza Hut

[@mistythompson6484]

That is so helpful! Thank you so much!

[@gopugmama4408]

Wow, super great hacks, Matt!! My husband and I are seniors and don't eat nearly as much as we used to as "kids." We almost always split a meal whether it's fast food or in a restaurant. Ordering a kids meal is cheaper and asking them to add lettuce and tomato to a burger usually comes with no added cost. We don't eat out a lot, but your fast food hacks definitely make it more enjoyable. Thanks for being so AWESOME and looking out for us consumers!!😋💗

[@trinitywright7122]

Well if you read my comment above you could have definitely split that 599 special deal food that I got at Taco Bell today it was plenty for two people!!!

We have all noticed prices going up CONCURRENT with the amount per item going down. Like Aldi facial tissue used to be a box of 160 tissues and is now 145. Maybe you could do a show on the top 10 shrinking products and at the stores you typically cover like Aldi, Dollar Tree and Wal Mart. Love your show!

[@BboyKsmooth]

They LOVE doing this with Cereal. Smaller amount and packaging while the price stays the same or goes up.

Mc Donalds. .....order a Mc double and request that they dress it like a Big Mac you get a smaller big Mac without the extra bun for 2.49$

McDonalds but request they replace it with an In-N-Out burger.

Some great way to save. One I regularly use is getting a value menu double cheeseburger at McDonald's, Hold the mustard, and add Mac Sauce and lettuce (free). Close to a Big Mac for 1/2 the cost. Value fry and drink is 1/2 the cost of a meal.

[@YeshuaKingMessiah]

Mac sauce AND lettuce cost Not free ANYwhere

I have a wingstop hack if you like boneless like my wife. You can order the large Thigh Bite combo for$11.99 rather than the 10pcs wing combo which is $15.79. The only difference is that you can only chose one flavor in the thigh combo but u get way more boneless wings! Also love your videos feels good to save

[@tybooskie]

I make boneless "wings" at home with chicken thighs. Way better.

McDonalds hack: ask for a cone in a cup which the same amount or close to a plain sundae. Also McDonalds has special buy one get one for a dollar (mcchicken,mcdouble,small fry and 4 piece nugget). Instead of buying 2 cheeseburgers get 2 mcdoubles its cheaper.

Mcdouble is no longer on the dollar menu

[@sozofam2164]

These are so worth trying! Thanks!

[@Wynn463]

Hi Matt! Love your videos! I do have to ask for a correction though. I work at Sam’s and please please please do not tell people to go in through the exit door. This can be a nightmare for the people working the doors, especially during busy times. You do not need a membership for the cafe, pharmacy or liquor. All you have to do is tell the person at the door that you are going to the cafe and you can go right in. Please be kind to the people that are working these positions. I actually changed departments so that I do not have to work the doors anymore.

[@wdfamily_027]

👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@user-pu2hy5gk4n]

At my local location, staffs at cafe scan membership before taking a food order every time.

[@magica1355]

Yeah I was hoping someone would say this. A lot of locations wont let you in to go to the cafe without membership anymore either after Covid. I live in GA and have tried 3 times(at different locations) already and they told me they dont allow that anymore.

[@carrioncrow8191]

He should pin this

[@nickfosley2882]

You might be overthinking this, if someone stopped me for going through the exit, I would just say that I am going to the cafe. Seems like an easy problem to solve.

[@astrofive620]

You're 100% right on respect the employee's more than worrying about the money you save. Makes me like your vids even more. Edit: unless it's target, I think there workers try and steal my earned gift cards, no joke.

[@Luv4USA24]

These are very helpful! Thank you!

[@joePARKS]

I love your channel for all the reasons but especially for this reason 😁

[@jackmackakaheavyguyhaiku545]

Hey Matt, don't throw out those Burger King coupons. Even if they've expired, most employees will still accept the coupons. Last I checked, they never change the codes. And on the app, just screenshot the code. Don't know if things have changed, but it's been true for years. Bonus tip: when using the paper coupon, ask if you can have it back when they're done. At my old BK, they just threw out the coupons.

[@ZenCorvus]

For coupons, don't give it to them unless they ask for it

[@cherrybomb3033]

You're correct Bk never changes their coupon codes, and their coupons are always the exact same. My BK will let you just give them the code no coupon necessary.

[@mariozombie2843]

I keep an old bk receipt in my car just for the survey code, they never ask for the receipt.

[@queenie5891]

Hello Chandra how are you doing?

[@MrTheBigNoze]

Absolute banger video Matt! The key to getting fast food for a reasonable price right now is using their apps to find deals and order online, McDonalds and pizza places in particular always have great deals.

[@thedealguy]

I agree!!

[@Jay_the_Caffeinator]

Great Hacks Matt!! Since I have to eat Gluten Free, one of the biggest savings I have is at Domino's. Their GF Crust costs $15 when you order off the regular menu. But if you order from the $7.99 menu, you pay half the price for the GF Crust. But you have to go pick up the pizzas yourself.

[@SharaJune]

Thanks for sharing! I also have to eat gluten free.

[@miamiceprincess]

I checked out the Dave's (Wendy's) single vs Double Stack and you are right...it's a money saver, but you do get a little less meat. The Double Stack has 2-1.78 oz patties and the single has 1-4 oz. patty.

[@kathyadair7367]

Back in the day they would half a regular single cooked patty to make the kids meal burgers. They do the same with the double stack and jr cheeseburgers.

[@Chris-de2qc]

Ikr double stacks are small!

[@adterpandrea]

You are definitely getting less meat with the double stack. I'm surprised Matt didn't see that because I could see it in the video! But from ordering both before, I knew it also.
