Moved to Forum: Original Link

EDIT: seems to not work for others
must be a local glitch. Mod update or remove if necessary

This was done at forest lake QLD

As 10 pack chicken mcbites are normally $2 (loose change menu) by itself why not get a small mcspider and a large side extra for the same price

Here's how:

1. On a self service machine, order 10PC McBites in a Large meal
This will set the price to $3.65

2. Choose a small frozen McSpider (coke, fanta, grape, etc)
Now here is where you can change the price. There are drinks that increase the price and some that decrease the price depending on size and type of drink.
I didnt have time to go through all of them but I found that a small frozen McSpider will take off $1.65 and set the price to $2

3. Choose your side
Either large fries, garden salad or crunch slaw
Pick what you like

Enjoy

    I have been waiting for a scam like this to happen after being screwed over with my "free create your taste burger up to the value of $15". It came out to $18.95 when purchased in a meal and then had to pay $7.95 after the value of the burger was deducted from the order. This meant that the burger's value was only $11. I could have just ordered a $15 burger on it's own and settled on a frozen coke for $1. Shame on me for not being thrifty…

  • barginsarelife on 22/10/2015 - 16:49

    Watch it get fixed by maccas soon..

    I have McDonald's lunch already and so full. Will try this because of your great contribution.

    The programmer for the self serve software was an OzBargainer who purposely created these 'glitches' for us to discover.

        Yes. You can choose the mcbites only. No option for a meal

        • smartazz104 on 22/10/2015 - 17:15

          I wonder how OP was able to do it then; his receipt even says Large 10pc McBites VM.

        • easternculture on 22/10/2015 - 17:28

          @gokhanh:

          store specific

  • hunter_syd on 22/10/2015 - 16:57

    any word on whether it works in other states?

  • parcus on 22/10/2015 - 16:57

    Didn't know you could get the McBites in a meal, $3.65 including large fries and drink in itself is a pretty good deal.

    • MadMaxBargainRoad on 22/10/2015 - 17:00
      +3

      Exactly, considering the large drink itself costs $3.50

  • MMM on 22/10/2015 - 16:58

    Stay tuned folks… Ozbargain techs are working very hard to confirm if this deal is legitmate:) Confirmed Glitch revoked my plus!!!

    The only meal I've seen 10 McBites in is the Happy Meals. I think this meal is over $6 base price. But good luck if anyone else can achieve this deal.

  • whodidthat on 22/10/2015 - 17:13

    tried at our local a few minutes ago here in vic ,,, him no workies

  • highdealer on 22/10/2015 - 17:29

    Had anyone other than the OP manage to get this to work? I highly doubt this will even work anywhere else in QLD let alone other state. It might even be a glitch specific to the machine the OP use.

    McBites in a meal is unheard of.

    • samlor on 22/10/2015 - 17:35

      No, doesn't work Sydney Pitt St.

    • Mikaela on 22/10/2015 - 19:49

      I did. Maybe the OP and I went to the exact same store…? I am in Brisbane

      • highdealer on 22/10/2015 - 20:23

        Why maybe? It's either you went to Forest Lake Maccas or you didn't. You can be more specific!

    doesn't work in Sunshine, kungfu_tofu you get a negative vote for that

  • Associatedjolson42 @ McDonald's on 22/10/2015 - 19:19

    Definitely a misconfigured register at the OP's store. McBites, as all Loose Change Menu items, are not available in Extra Value Meals. Well, I suppose frozen drinks are an exception, but there are two register buttons for each flavour; one at full price for meals, and one at the discounted price (which the software prevents you from putting into a meal).

  • Mikaela on 22/10/2015 - 19:47

    Worked for me at a maccas here in Brisbane. Thanks OP

    CONFIRMED works at Newmarket QLD store. I got a 10 pack of chicken mcbites, small frozen fanta spider and large fries which came down to $2.00. Original price for Large 10 chicken mcbites meal at Newmarket store was $3.60 from memory, but the small frozen fanta spider takes $1.60 off so it comes down to $2.00

      i guess it'll just be us two abusing this "glitch" so far
      maybe its brisbane specific i am yet to try at different stores

        Start setting up a stand there and earn profit

  • samlor on 22/10/2015 - 20:57

    Maybe it's a QLD thing, like the State of Origin or the rugby league grand final :-)

  • MattyD on 23/10/2015 - 19:55

    Not working anymore at FL. A 10-pce mcbites happy meal is 6.95, adding a frozen fanta adds $1.20. Boooo!

    • kungfu_tofu on 24/10/2015 - 12:39

      Confirmed. Have you tried at any other stores?

      • MattyD on 24/10/2015 - 19:42

        Nah mate. I live at FL so we thought this hack * 4 might make a cheap Fri night picnic feast in front of a movie with the kids. Bought a pizza instead :)

  • Mysterious Laptop on 23/10/2015 - 22:06

    Why doesn't maccas let us take screenshots? I mustve missed the incident
