Can't be just me. I usually get the mixed feast but I realised if I build my own bucket it costs a little bit more but you get 12 nuggets instead of 6. What? I don't get it.
I Just Realised Picking My Own Items on The KFC App Is Better Value than Buying an Actual Meal

Behavioural economics.
I remember when I was in my very early teens and I asked for a popcorn and a drink as it was priced cheaper individually than in the combo. The cashier tried charging me the combo price. Deciding to get a sanity check on my calculations, I asked him the prices and what they equaled. Yep, cheaper than the combo price. But he was insistent he had to charge me the combo price. So I got the popcorn, did a lap around the line and got a drink on my second go through.
What a joke.
Yeah of course! Did you know you can get a medium meal at Maccas and ask for a small drink and save 50c or something?
These places just rely on us to be sheep and rake in the cashs.
It's stupid but I never really thought about doing my own thing. Those (profanity).
picking my own shit
You need an app for that?
Cheap as Chips…
delete kfc not RR
on the app build it own bucket is cheaper than buying family feast, and u can pick what u want
Usually order for 9 chicken with 12 wings at $22 or 12 fillet and 12 wings at same price. Good deal.
So I'm not the only one who loves the (profanity) fillet more?
fillets are the only decent piece from kfc
How do you manage to get 12 fillets and 12 wings for $22?
got to app, choose your location, then build your bucket, choose 3 choice of chicken - I choose 2x 6 wings + 1x 12 tenders total $21.85.
Oh tenders, I thought you meant actual fillets. Thanks.
This is not something new…
Tinkering with the digital version of fast food menus often comes up alternative ways to get items slightly cheaper/larger quantities or actually what you want. The combo packs are a marketing tool not necessarily best value.
I’ve never ordered the mixed feast
4 chicken (10 combined chicken)
6 tenders
6 nuggets 3 sauce
2 sides
$24.95Depending on what chicken qty/side qty you actually want and the $$$ you want to spend
Cheap as chips promoting their app (app only under colonials offers)
8 chicken (click the edit and change any qty to tenders for $0 extra)
0 tenders
6 nuggets 2 sauce
4 sides
$20.95$4 cheaper - 2 pieces of chicken and 1 sauce less but with 2 extra sides
Or after adding to the cart reload the cart till the offer of
“You might like to add on”
“5 original tender add on $6.95” (plus 2 sauce)8 chicken (13 combined chicken)
5 tenders
6 nuggets 4sauce
4 sides$27.990 now $2.95 more expensive then mixed feast
With 3 pieces of chicken, 1 sauce and 2 extra sidesThis can work with the smaller items too. I usually go for the app-exclusive Burger Combo Deluxe, but today I thought I'd give the donuts a go. Grabbed the $4.95 fill up, saw the Complete Treat box @ $12.95, figured I'd see what I could find in the app - ended up adding a bacon and cheese fillet burger for $6.95 and a freeze for $1 - same price as the Complete Treat but with a tender instead of two wicked wings, and bacon and cheese on the burger.
I guess it's the same thing as Hoyts/Village cinemas where it's costs more $ to buy a combo than to order each item separately.
Consumers are used to thinking that combo deals are better financially, but there you go.
