Hack No. 1: Order the “Budget” Big Mac

Did you know that the recipe for the famous Big Mac can be ordered in a different way to save money?

Many of the golden arches locations have a special button on the cash register for this request.

To get that Budget Big Mac, you need to say “Like a Mac” alongside a cheaper hamburger. The only thing missing will be the middle bun, which you can definitely live without, but all the other ingredients will be there.

This hack can help you buy a Big Mac at half the price, which is amazing!

To give you an example: let’s say you order a “McDouble – Like a Mac,” and you’ll essentially get a Big Mac for a price of $2.89, while the original Big Mac costs around $4.79 at many locations.

Moreover, if you simply crave a double hamburger, you can order a regular McDouble and save a few dollars.
