McDonald's are now offering some every day essentials at some of their restaurants, including english muffins, burger buns and milk.
Get a 6 pack of their gourmet burger buns for as low as $3, or a 6 pack of english muffins for as low as $2.20 thanks cjmorgan87
Price varies by store
Which section/s in the app?plz
I think we can say this no longer exists.
April Fools worthy on any other year
Let's see them do this 1st April 2021…
Joke's on you, we might still be in lock down in 2021.
i can't find their buns/muffins in app? where
Next they will announce they will remove all the kids videogames and soda fountains and replace them with child friendly exercise equipment.
I seriously considered this to be an actual joke. What is Mickey D turning to?
Will they give away those left over food to poor now.
Probably, I heard a pallet of elmacco sauce turned up at a Foodbank recently.
That would be like Christmas!
They've always done a free b'fast for them in the city.
jv can save himself $3 as he already has a six-pack.
Do you mean he already has a six-pack? 🙄
"gourmet" you say….
:/
I wonder if anyone has actually tried this.
Are they the same buns used for the cheeseburger
I want to know also…
No, the same buns that are used in the gourmet range, 4" in diameter.
which section in the app, are these items under?
So is this actually a bargain or just an announcement?
Id like to keep these sort of things in bargains. More people will see them.
I wonder if you can buy through the drive through.
I wonder if you can buy through the drive through.
Yes you can
Where else can we buy gourmet Maccas buns? You'll be paying heaps more for the burgers with the already used buns.
Their gourmet because Maccas calls them that?
Those burgers will also have meat and other ingredients too…
So where else can we buy Maccas buns? It's pointless seeing the burger as a better deal. What if I want to make my own burgers? Do I scrap everything off the burger I've already paid a heap for?
@scuderiarmani: This is a Maccas deal. If you can find Maccas buns elsewhere for less then this won't be a deal.
Well, at $2.6 for Full cream milk, I think its cheaper than most things from the supermarkets, and definitely most cheaper than most convenience stores.
Yes.
nice buns
that's what he said. to her. and ended up with a sexual harassment lawsuit.
Strange times
Yuck
Can someone who buys the buns tell me the list of ingredients? I'm a bit curious.
Preservatives
Flour
Salt
There is more sugar than flour in them.
I stand corrected:
Preservatives
Sugar
Flour
Salt
@ak47wong: from what I can tell:
Wheat Flour (Vitamins (Thiamin, Folate, Niacin, Iron, Riboflavin), Enzymes), Water, Sugar, Canola Oil, Sesame Seeds, Glaze, Iodised Salt, Natural Flavour, Wheat Gluten, Yeast, Preservative (282), Emulsifiers (472e, 471), Improver (Wheat Flour, Malted Wheat Flour, Antioxidant (300), Enzymes), Thickener (412), Antioxidant (300).
@adamtuba: Thanks. As a baker it's not artisan bread of course, but it's not worst than the bread you would buy at a supermarket or at baker's delight.
Unsure but If I had to have a guess;
Preservatives
MSG
Trans fats
Growth hormones
Sesame Seeds
buns :)
Showing as $4 on the app for me (VIC)
it kind of feels like clearing excess stock due to reduced demand. But ive always wanted to make a burger with whatever buns they use. Colour me curious
Are you thinking of the sugar buns they use for the cheeseburgers? Because those things are addictive af.
Fun fact. They had to cut down on the sugar levels, otherwise they'd be classed as confectionery. The KFC buns are far more sweeter.
Urban myth, and the myth was actually they'd add a gherkin/pickle to reduce the overall sugar percentage
Shows up as $4 in NSW
This is so they can stay open when only stores selling 'essential items' can stay open..
BINGO.
That is cheeky !
Came here to say this
It's because more people are eating at home and their suppliers have contracts to supply x amount per month. With no one sitting in the cafe in store or dining in, they have heaps of buns and milk that they're contracted to buy but they're not selling and won't survive months. Meanwhile the supermarkets are running out of milk because everyone's making their coffee at home.
Have anyone actually found a store that have the buns or milk in stock? I tried the Melbourne CBD McDonald and all of them said those items are not available.
My local store hasn't got buns, milk or english muffins - the whole lot is unavailable. Perth suburbs.
Seems like Maccas hasn't thought this through very well.
Boo hoo hoo. If a store is out of stock and you can't get your hands on them doesn't mean they haven't thought it through. It just means that business is good and it sold more than anticipated.
Did you tell them your anaconda don't want none?
Good of them to offer milk, not sure about their buns though, I'd rather buy those elsewhere
You can check ingredients here

$1.30 a litre for milk is great, I’d gladly pay the 10c/l premium in order to not get out of the car and avoid people.
Looked at my local on the app though and couldn’t find where it would be??
yeah where's on app these buns/mcmuff n milk
Hey, I'm not sure if you've scrolled through chat enough to find where they are but there just in their own compartments you'd expect.
McMuffin buns are in McMuffins/all day breakfast
Burger buns are in burgers (beef)
Milk is in drinks etc
look at that almost 1 month to the minute lol
look at that almost 1 month to the minute lol
<33
They might have some contracts to buy certain quantities of Muffin buns each day, along with certain quantities of milk.
This is it, their sales will be way down with dining rooms closed and they have stock they're getting in that will go off if not sold.
Pro tip. Every purchase comes with a few sheets of toilet-paper substitute not suitable for septic use.
Milk is 4.45 for 2l showing in Canberra
Ha so now they can claim they are an essential service and stay open lol sneaky !
They just use Tip Top Muffins… pick them up in Coles or Woolies (when on sale they are 2 packs for $5 or something).
If you like the sausage mcmuffins, just buy the chevaps sausages and shape them into patties before cooking.
The cheese is American/Old English… only place you can buy that is in Costco. It's the same cheese in any of the Macca's breakfast menu, and also Subway.
If you want the egg to look exactly the same, you can buy metal egg rings from any supermarket.
But it all together and you have a ready supply of Macca's McMuffins in any breakfast configuration you like… for MUCH cheaper.
Don't forget to season the sausage with the salt/pepper mix.
Yep!
Sounds like you are a current/past employee. I worked at Maccas 20 years ago in the kitchen… weirdly, I have very fond memories of working there and still remember the processes and preparation. Although it looks like it has all changed there as they make it all to order now… the burgers were always best when the meat came straight off the grill and onto the cheese to melt it. Now they precook the meat and leave it in a warmer… the cheeseburgers have never been the same since.
@BreezyPalms: Not a past employee, just a very regular breakfast customer ;).
100% agree with everything you said though!
Do the chevaps sausages actually taste like the sausage patties at mcdonalds?
no none of what he listed does.
Haters gunna hate… but what I've said is as close as you're going to get to the real thing. The chevaps aren't exact, but they have that same peppery spiciness flavour. For instance, I can tell when they use cheeseburger patties as fill in to the breakfast sausage because they've run out. It's a different mix of spices. Cheeseburger patty is more like a normal beef sausage. Breakfast sausage patty is more like chevaps… more peppery/spicy.
It's actually very close!
But hey, least I've tried.
ubcool might have a better solution than mine though. He's obviously gone and tried my suggestions and nothing I've listed is good enough for his taste buds.
Lets all hold our breath with anticipation on his awesome suggestions.
I'm sure he'll be super helpful and offer educated insight into his opinion on what combinations of product are better and where to buy them.
@UFO: I cant talk for the chevaps taste but keen to try it now!… As a past employee of maccas everything else you say is correct as far as I know. Muffins where supplied by Tip Top.
The sausage patty was different to the Cheeseburger/Bigmac meat which they call 10 to 1 (1/10th pound weight). Sausage patty slightly thicker and smaller diameter, came in a different box to the 10:1 patties and was seasoned with a peeper/salt mix just before coming off the grill
Here's what I can gather.
1. Each store can set their own pricing for the new menu, that's why it varies.
2. Stores get automatically allocated the buns from the supplier, and will have to manually order extra milk. It seems like it is a big hassle to deal with milk.
3. From what I can tell, it isn't a deal to be an "essential" service, its to help the suppliers who may have less customers, and doing a lower turnover. As well as providing customers with a greater choice, and greater convenience. Where else can you be given a 2L bottle of Full Cream milk without having to leave your car?
You forgot to asd that it can make them some money.
What’s brand’s the milk?
at my local McD, I got Brownes.
Is that chocolate milk?
Just like Scomo at Engadine '97
Where else can you be given a 2L bottle of Full Cream milk without having to leave your car?
Nowhere I can think of, but I’d need to leave the car for other essentials anyway. I can’t feed the family just milk and maccas buns. Or can I?
Depends how long you want the family to last.
From what I can tell, it isn't a deal to be an "essential" service, its to help the suppliers who may have less customers
Why would the suppliers have less customers? People who used to eat their bowl of cereal and drink coffee at work are still going to be doing the same thing at home. Those people are still likely to buy bread and rolls to make sangas at home instead of spending $15 at a nearby cafe to their offices.
There's not less people, we're all just in different places now.
ha exactly. no where where you could buy milk and bread before has been closed.
Don't forget the milk!
