My Maccas app (aussie.zone)

Normally loath to suggest these sorts of thing, but recently discovered maccas has the best coffee in my suburb (C'mon melbourne get your shit together!) so every other day I'm grabbing a coffee. A mate recommended the app. I wouldnt suggest going there to get a deal, but IF your already buying stuff from maccas doing it through the app gets you points you can trade in, jut scored a free medium coffee with a non standard milk! It takes a few purchases to build up the required points, so again not a deal. But if you're doing it anyway may as well get the free stuff from it.

Cheaper (and tastier) to get a thermos and make coffee at home. Also, the food might seem cheap, but you can meal prep with things like rice, beans, and frozen veggies for much less money (and time actually). Alsooo Maccas will slowly kill you.

Don't like raining on your parade, just trying to help people save money and live happier lives. McDonald's won't save you money in the long run, and it will screw up your body.

Maccas coffee is one of the few coffees my stomach seems to accept, which is super strange and I don’t understand why. But totally agree on the food. It’s a very rare “sometimes” treat.

Everyone needs treats sometimes :)
