Burger King has released some tips and tricks to save a bit of money when eating at the fast-food chain. Dubbed Whoppernomics, these hacks have been devised to help ease the cost of living burden many households will be dealing with this autumn and winter.
Customers have been shown various ways to make their money stretch further at the burger joint. These include ways of feeding a family of four for £4.50 each, getting your 6th visit completely free and turning two burgers into three.
They are primarily designed to encourage consumers to sign up to the Burger King app - where most of the offers can be found. You can download the app via Google Play here or App Store here.
This collection of hacks is the first in a series – with more promised over the coming months. Here is the first selection of hacks available for Burger King regulars to make the most of.
Free Whopper: If you spend £3 on your first click & collect order with Burger King, you can get your hands on the flame-grilled Whopper for free, so grab yourself a side and the burger is yours at no extra charge.
Bag a burger for £1.99, every week, twice a week: Every Monday and Wednesday, you can get a Plant-Based Whopper or Vegan Royale (Meat-Free Monday) or Whopper (Whopper Wednesday) for just £1.99.
Feed the family for £4.50 each: Via the Burger King app, you can get two Whopper or Royale meals for £9.99, and two kids meals for £3.99 each – feeding a family of four for under £18 and earning a saving of nearly £15.
