1. Round Egg

Media Source

For a higher-quality McDonald's breakfast sandwich, you should order a round egg vs. that yellow scrambled stuff they put on the bun. They make the round egg right there in an egg ring, and you can actually see the yolk. The scrambled egg is made from a powdered mixture. It’s far better to go for the real deal.

2. Poor Man's Big Mac

Media Source

Getting what’s been referred to as a “Poor Man’s Big Mac” is pretty easy. You order a Double Cheeseburger off the dollar menu and ask that it come without ketchup and mustard. Instead, ask for lettuce and special sauce. The only real difference is the sesame seed bun. But you will end up saving about $2.30.

3. The McGangbang

Media Source

The name for this monstrosity is a bit brutal, but how else would you describe inserting an entire McChicken sandwich in between a double cheeseburger? If you want to make something even more grotesque, you can make the “McLand, Air, and Sea” burger. This abomination combines a double cheeseburger, a Filet o’ Fish and a McChicken sandwich.

4. Ketchup Holder

Media Source

This works well, especially on the go. Sometimes the ketchup can be a complete mess. By folding back the carton of McDonald's fries, you’re making a nice little ketchup holder for your fries.

5. Steamed Bun

Media Source

How many times have you ordered a sandwich from McDonald's only for it to be served on a dried-out tasteless bun? Well, you can avoid this by ordering your sandwich on a steamed bun. The steamed bun is the one that the Filet o’ Fish is served on, and it’s undoubtedly the best bun in the entire restaurant.

6. Unsalted Please

Media Source

The best way to assure that your McDonald's fries are super fresh is to order them without salt. This forces the server to make a fresh batch.  The salted ones have already spent a good amount of time basking under the heat lamps. You can always salt them yourself later.

7. Multiples Of Four

Media Source

If you’re absolutely crazy for McDonald’s chicken nuggets, you’re better off buying them in quantities of four versus the 20 piece pack. It will actually turn out costing you less money. You’ll also get more sauces doing it this way, and who doesn’t love more sauce?

8. Double Protein

Media Source

If you want more bang for your buck at Chipotle, you should order a burrito or burrito bowl with steak and chicken. Some Redditors say that they will give you almost full portions of both proteins without charging you extra. So, if you’re a big carnivore, this may be the hack for you.

9. No Protein

Media Source

On the other end of the spectrum, if you’re a vegetarian you can get a free helping of guacamole. If you don’t add a protein to your burrito/burrito bowl, remind the server about the free guac.  After all, the guacamole at Chipotle may be the best thing they have on the menu.

10. Two Meals

Media Source

Let’s be honest: It’s kind of hard to finish an entire burrito bowl from Chipotle in one sitting. You can actually make two meals out of a burrito bowl by asking for free tortillas or taco shells. That way you can make some soft or hard shell tacos for your lunch, and save the rest of the burrito bowl for later.

11. Double Grilled

Media Source

You can get any of your favorite meals that are grill-able at Taco Bell (you can’t exactly grill nachos or a hard-taco shell, you know that, right?) grilled twice to make it extra crispy. Obviously, this hack works the best with their quesadillas, soft-shell tacos, crunch wrap supreme and burritos.

12. Sub Holder

Media Source

Subs are not meant to be carried vertically, otherwise, all the goodies will get squashed to one end of the sandwich. Seriously, Subway should consider making bags like this. But, they are easy enough to make yourself. Just tie off the opening and tear some holes to make handles in the middle of the bag.

13. Double Steak And Cheese

Media Source

If you are really into Philly Cheese Steaks this is the hack for you. At Subway, you can essentially get their Philly Cheese Steak sub for about $1.50 less just by ordering a double steak and cheese. You’ll probably end up getting more meat on your sandwich this way, too.

14. Old Cut Vs New Cut

Media Source

This is a neat Subway hack that will make eating your sub less messy. It will also help keep all those ingredients in place. Just ask for an “old cut style” which is shown on the left. The server just needs to cut a deep-v into the bread instead of cutting it horizontally.

15. KFC Poutine

Media Source

Some KFC locations will actually have this on the menu. But, if the KFC near you doesn’t, you can order poutine off of the secret menu. KFC should have all the ingredients to make it. They just need gravy (which they have in abundance) and cheese curds and pour that mixture on top of their fries. And there you have it — KFC poutine!

16. Have It Your Way

Media Source

Burger King scrapped their “Have it your way” slogan in 2014, after 40 years of it being in use. But, if you ask to have it your way, meaning you customize what you're getting, you’re much more likely to get a freshly prepared sandwich. You can also order your sandwich “off the broiler” or “OTB” to get fresh patty.

17. Hawaiian Hack

Media Source

Pineapple on pizza isn’t for everyone. But, if a Hawaiian pizza is your thing, you can save $10 with this Domino’s hack. Instead of ordering their signature Hawaiian, you can make your own large three-topping pizza (ham, pineapple and bacon). That’s a steal.

Another tip is to call the restaurant to see if they have any pizzas that weren’t delivered or claimed. You can get them at a discounted price.

18. 2 Jrs

Media Source

Why order one sandwich when you can have two? If you order two junior roast beef sandwiches instead of the classic roast beef sandwich, you’ll save about $1.19. They are essentially the same sandwich, and you’ll actually have more food for less money.

19. Jamba Juice Special

Media Source

Did you know that you can substitute any ingredient in your Jamba Juice for no extra cost? It’s actually a rule that employees have to abide by. So go ahead and customize away!

20. Some Extra Room

Media Source

At Starbucks, you can order a Grande and have it put into a Venti cup so you can leave some extra room for cream. This way, you’ll also avoid making a mess because the cup is filled to the brim. If you also don’t want a bunch of ice in your iced coffee (which ends up watering it down), you can actually save $.58 when you ask for light ice.

21. Free Water

Media Source

Why spend $2 on bottled water when you can get it for free? Just ask the Starbucks employee to fill a Venti cup with water and you’re good to go. They won’t even charge you for the cup.
