A mother has revealed a clever money-saving trick at McDonald's that allows customers to enjoy a meal for as little as £2.99. Gemma Bird, known online as Money Mum, shared the simple receipt hack on social media, explaining how one easy step after ordering can unlock a heavily discounted second meal.
The key to the savings lies in the receipt itself. After purchasing any meal, customers can use the code printed on the receipt to access a follow-up deal, as reported by creatorzine.com. The code prompts users to complete a short online survey. Once finished, they receive a voucher that can be scanned in-store, granting them a Big Mac and fries for just £2.99.

The trick has gone viral, with many people expressing surprise that they were unaware of the deal. One person commented: "I never knew this. I'll be keeping the receipt next time we go. Thank you x" Another user added: "I can't believe I never knew this!!" A third person wrote: "This is amazing."
Some customers have even taken the hack to the next level. One individual said: "I literally went round all the machines the other day and got all the receipts and did this." However, a potential drawback was noted by another user, who pointed out: "Never any receipt paper in the machines haha."
How It Works
The hack is part of McDonald's ongoing customer feedback scheme. Receipts often include survey codes that, when completed, unlock discounted meals. This simple process can lead to significant savings for savvy customers.
