McDonald’s keeps raising the bar for free fries.



This is more of an observation than a complaint, but it’s pretty funny that the during the first year of this promo the fries were totally free. Last season you needed to spend a minimum of $1 before tax, and now it’s up to $3. I’m guessing next season you’ll have to buy an extra value meal?

    Next year:

    Buy large fries and recieve small fries for free anytime the Raptors score 100+ points while a player gets a double double on an odd numbered day on a day of the week that has an even number of vowels.

    Upgrade to a FREE medium if someone records a triple double.

    Next promo: if the Raptors go perfect from the 3-pt line and you spend a minimum $75, you get one (1) free large fry.

    The year Popeyes did their promo with the raptors where they offered 3 chicken tenders for 12 threes or more in a game was the best. All you had to do was order a drink. Was worth it for 3 tenders imo.

    Just be an IDF soldier and you will get free mcdeez

    I just order the McDouble, comes to $3.23 after tax and you get the fries

    So it’s like a combo meal (no drink) for $3.23, not bad

    That’s crazy, i noticed they also charge $0.50 for mcchicken sauce on a burger now, ive pretty much stopped eating there except for a coffee. It’s gotten too expensive for the food quality. And that’s really sad.

    “Fred Vanvleet has to go 3/15 for the Houston Rockets to receive a free medium fry with purchase of a Big Mac”

    Even freebies being hit by inflation

    It’s because the year it started, when it was actually free, the raps started shooting well from 3. Mcdonalds took huge losses from the promo as no one could foresee the kawhi acquisition and fred, pascal and lowry improvements leading to accurate 3pt shooting. I guess Mcdonalds Canada didnt have ball fans in their marketing team.

    Their coupons have been trash for over a year now i only go if im getting a deal

    I was legit talking with some roommates about this before basketball season started, i was hoping they wouldn’t try to squeeze even more out of us, but i guess i was hoping for too much. It’s already bad enough the “free” fries required a minimum $1 purchase, with the cheapest item being just over $2. Now they’re trying to price gouge us even more.

    I miss when the “free” fries were actually free and I could walk it and get it with the only cost being the gas to drive over, maybe grab a snack burger on the way out to make a meal of it, but not required.

    Medium fries cost $4.19 without the coupon

    They got absolutely rinsed that first year 😂😂 been making us pay for it ever since

    At least they’re still doing it, they could cancel it at anytime and it wouldn’t hurt them. That said, $5 minimum inbound next year lol

    After they beat the Bulls

    “If everyone scores at least 10pts, there are 22 car accidents in Toronto, 244 babies are born in Toronto, 78 pigeons land on top of the area, and Jack says sneezes 12 times, free fries”

  16. Free small fry with every Championship, folks! WHAT A DEAL

    “*some conditions may apply. Malachi Flynn must play for 40+ minutes (1 minute = 60 earth seconds).”

  18. charmanderaznable

    I must have gotten 100 free fries that first year. Truly the golden age

    I miss the pizza pizza days and with just showing your ticket. So simple, so effective.

    I think it may partly be due to rising costs, they probably just want to ensure you’re at least buying something.
