So, being inquisitive and bored, a friend and I decided to see if we can get past the absolutely outrageous price that a McFlurry costs at micca dee's. So, by doing the following, you will get a VERY cheap McFlurry.

Process:
1) Ask for 3x30 cent cones to be put into a McFlurry cup
2) Ask for the topping (e.g. m&ms, oreo etc) of your choice
3) Eat your three thirty cent cones with whatever topping in a mcflurry cup :)

Enjoy, this will save you hundreds of percent of the total cost :)

Quick edit - yes topping (e.g. chocolate sauce or fudge) incurred an extra 50 cents.

      I'm surprised too. My sister's been getting 30c cones and the toppings in separate sundae lids for years.

      Also the OP only mentioned to get one shot of the topping, which a McFlurry has 2 shots.

      Yeah, I mean, You can order a $2 Cheeseburger, add an extra patty and have yourself a cut-price Big Mac.

      Similarly, the oldies like to order an OFB from KFC (thats just the chicken fillet from the burger)

      • Matt P on 25/01/2014 - 19:42

        i love the fillets box, similar price to a 2 piece feed, just no bun, but way more chicken and much easier to eat while you're driving

        Make sure you're ethnicity is one that is always targeted by people. Go into the most bogan store and order a McFlurry the Ozbargain way. When called a tightarse threaten the cashier saying that you'll complain to the manager.

        Congratulations you've got yourself a free Mcflurry

          For best results, go during the busiest time of the day. When you get to the counter, pretend to read the menu and read aloud the most expensive items. Then to heighten the frustration, order in barely understandable english, and when they ask to repeat, do it with extra condescension, like they're the idiot.

        • [Deactivated] on 27/01/2014 - 00:24

    Are people voting for the deal any more, or just to see how high the counter goes? I'm actually quite demoralised by the number of positive votes. Some of my deals have gotten 20-30 votes and I've been pleased with that, but now I know what's possible, I feel like they're not worthy. :-/

      Any of these upvoting system especially on a site that's so casual is usually riddled with non-meaningful votes, same thing as reddit, people's highest upvoted comments is usually their most dumbest of all time.

      Feel your pain moooooooo. Personally, 600 posts and only a few of them voted in the 100s… they pale into insignificance compared to this. It's quite obvious people are now voting just to see how high the count can get. Still, he's worthy of all praise.

      • rith on 25/01/2014 - 23:42

        Yea, it's obviously a good deal and people don't really see any harm on giving it a few more upvotes after seeing how many there already are.

        I don't think it takes away from other deals, it's just the uniqueness about this one that's gotten so much interest which is causing some to upvote when they normally wouldn't.

      • danyool on 27/01/2014 - 20:24

          I thanked the OP but suggested it to be moved to the forums (it was only 10 mins after posting with abotu 10 votes) and got negged to oblivion (currently on about -40) :(

      Yeah true. The point of buying food at Maccas is for someone to make it for you. When you have to do the work yourself, it becomes pointless to buy at a fast food restaurant.

    How to get cheap Whopper Jnr with cheese at HJ's:

    Order BBQ cheeseburger from $2 menu (this has BBQ sauce, mayo, cheese & meat patty - maybe pickle also, I forget)
    Ask for it minus BBQ sauce, add lettuce, tomato, pickle, onion and ketchup.

    You now have yourself a Whopper Jnr. with cheese for only $2.

    Ever since mcflurry's have been around, I've almost always ordered 2-4 toppings, instead of just the one (ie. m&ms+oreo+crunchie). It just made sense, and it was nice nice nice :) Because let's be real, the toppings didn't cost too much extra and the ice cream was the more expensive part of it.

          It's probably the same thing in the 'ice cream', but in multiple servings to make it thicker, LOL.
