Whether you’re partial to Burger King or KFC, check out these tips . . . 

GET APPY: Download the apps. They often feature offers you can’t get elsewhere.

For example, Burger King app users can get a half-price Whopper, Chicken Royale or Bacon Double Cheeseburger every weekday afternoon.

McDonald’s fans get an offer on Mondays for mobile orders.

COMPARE PRICES: Menu prices can vary between branches.

If you have two or three of the same chain nearby, it’s worth checking which is cheapest.

You can ask in store for prices or call up.

FOOD FOR THOUGHTS: Keep your receipts from McDonald’s as you could be invited to fill in an online survey that unlocks special offers.

Most read in Money

Completing the survey currently gives a voucher to buy a Big Mac, six chicken nuggets, Quarter Pounder or fries for £1.99.

But you will need to input a code from your receipt.

CASHBACK: If you order your meal via either Deliveroo, Just Eat or Uber Eats you can click through Topcashback to get money back on your order.

MEMBER DEALS: Sign up to any reward schemes to get deals that ordinary punters won’t.

For example, at KFC you get the chance to win food prizes each time you make a purchase.

When signing up to the Burger King scheme you get 100 points straight away, which is enough to claim a free portion of fries.

BIRTHDAY SWAG: You can get a whole load of free food when it’s your birthday.

Burger King gives out a free Whopper and McDonald’s gifts a treat which varies depending on the day.

So don’t forget to give your special date when signing up to schemes.
