10. Texas Roadhouse Bouquet of Rolls
The recent Valentine’s celebration saw a lot of fast food chains’ romantic but delicious offerings to celebrate the love month; there were heart-shaped pizzas, the rise of fast food dining experience, and, of course, sweet treats turned gifts. One headliner was Texas Roadhouse’s Bread Rolls made into a bouquet. Good thing, you can always replicate this fast food hack, even after Valentine’s! Just buy a dozen Bread Rolls at Texas Roadhouse for an estimated $5, arrange the rolls in green skewers, and partner it with a tub of Texas Roadhouse’s iconic cinnamon butter as the “vase” to complete the ‘bouquet look.’ We all know how delicious Texas Roadhouse’ Bread Rolls are, so this fast food hack just takes it up to another notch.
9. Chick-Fil-A Free Recipes
Fast food copycat recipes are always hard to come by, so it’s always worth the bookmark when there’s an official copycat recipe. Luckily, Chick-fil-A’s treating us to a library of Free Recipes, available on their website. They have everything from classic favorites like Chicken Pot Pie to crowd-favorite desserts like Banana Bread (inspired by their Banana Pudding Milkshake).
8. Burger King The Quad Stacker
Fast food lovers can expand their choices for the stackable burger trend with Burger King’s secret menu hack for The Quad Stacker. It has four beef patties, cheese slices, and bacon, all smothered with Burger King’s special sauce. Just like any secret menu item, you can place an order for Burger King’s The Quad Stacker by describing it to your server. It’ll definitely give In-N-Out’s 4×4 Burger hack a run for its money.
7. McDonald’s Crunchy Double Burger
If you’re looking for a burger that combines flavor and crunchiness, the McDonald’s Crunchy Double Burger hack may be right up your alley. This hearty menu packs all the protein as you’re starting off with an order of Double Cheeseburger, featuring two 100% beef patties seasoned with salt and pepper, and a flavorful combination of chopped onions, ketchup, tangy pickles, and two slices of American cheese. Next up, add an order of 6-pc Chicken McNuggets to create that crunchy and delicious fast food experience. If you want more flavor, you can try this with the BBQ sauce!
6. Chipotle Cheap Burrito Hack
If you’re craving a burrito but want to save on some pennies, then you might want to try ordering a bunch of sides (i.e. rice, beans, salsa) and a tortilla. You simply need to combine all ingredients together, and you’ll have one giant burrito! Though Chipotle has caught on to this hack and stopped it, this money saving hack is still worth sharing. Plus, if you’re a regular and asks nicely, the server might even give you extra portions of a side! But proceed with caution, as not all Chipotle locations and servers will let this trick slide.
5. Dunkin’ Pink Drink
Looking for an alternative to Starbucks Pink Drink? Coming right up is the new and delicious hack for Dunkin’ Pink Drink! Just get any iced refresher, add some oatmilk, and you’ve got yourself a Dunkin’ Pink Drink. This tastes very similar to the Starbucks version of the same beverage- it’s slightly creamy and gives off a little fruity taste, but will surely give you a much-needed boost of energy.
4. McDonald’s McAffogato
This hack goes to all sweet tooths out there! If you’re looking for a sweet coffee hack, McDonald’s McAffogato is a good option to take your espresso game to another level. All you need is to pour a shot of espresso over McDonald’s vanilla soft-serve ice cream, and you have yourself a classic Italian dessert! You can also try it the other way around – add a scoop of McDonald’s vanilla soft-serve on top of your favorite hot coffee, and you’re done!
3. Starbucks Free Coffee Refill
Starbucks Rewards Members are in for a nice coffee treat! In an updated Terms of Use released by Starbucks recently, it stated that Rewards Members may receive free refills for their hot or iced brewed coffee or tea during the same day they visit a participating Starbucks location. But, there’s a catch – to be eligible for the free coffee refill, Rewards Members’ initial order must be served in for-here ware or a clean reusable cup.
2. Popeyes Free Chicken and a Biscuit
Is anyone up for a free food hack? Yes, you read that right. Our second top hack belongs to Popeyes and the Free Chicken and a Biscuit Hack. Just order a sauce for $0.25, and upon receiving the receipt, look at the top part for their store number. Turn the receipt over, find the blank space provided, write the date of your purchase (follow the MMDDYY format), and add the store number. Go back to Popeyes, show the receipt, and order a two-piece Chicken and Biscuit with a large drink. You’ll only pay for the drink and get the chicken and biscuit for free! This free food hack still works today, so get your free Chicken and Biscuit at Popeyes!
1. Chick-fil-A Free Breakfast Samples
Coming to the top spot is none other than our fast food hack for free breakfast at Chick-fil-A. We all know that Chick-fil-A stops serving breakfast at 10:30 AM, and any leftovers are either thrown out or given away. These leftovers are then called “Breakfast Samples“; some stores give them out for free, and others give them as a bonus when you purchase any food item. We recently tried this free fast food hack, and it still works! Just a word of advice; not all Chick-fil-A locations give out their Breakfast Samples for free, but hey, it doesn’t hurt to ask!
