Tip: Cheaper Big Mac Alternative

For a cheaper Big Mac alternative at McDonald's, order a McDouble from the dollar menu, plus a side of Big Mac Sauce. I was charged 35 cents today, and it was actually enough sauce for two sandwiches. I thought it tasted fine with the condiments already on the McDouble, and all that was missing was the lettuce.

We have been doing this for years but we ask them to replace the mustard for mac sauce and it comes out free.

This is a great idea. I don't prefer eating big mac's but love the rest of their selection. Have you tried using the app to save money? If you do, just be careful because hackers are using the McDonalds app to place fraudlent orders.
