How to Save Money at KFC: Tips and Hacks
Enjoying finger-licking-good chicken doesn’t always come cheap! Order KFC from the drive-thru without the apps or a special, and you can easily drop $50-$60 to feed the family. Use these tricks to save the most money while eating out:
- Always Use the App! Not only do you get exclusive coupons by using the app, but you can also find digital exclusive deals you won’t be able to get when ordering in-person. Plus, it’s wise to start earning rewards on all of the chicken meals you love!
- Order the Specials: Feeding a crowd on a budget can be tricky when everyone wants something different. Instead, tell them which specials they can choose between – i.e. telling your family of 4 they can pick which power bowl they want will cost you $20 out vs. $40+ for pricey menu items or combo meals.
- Check the Meal for Two Deals: Sometimes the Meal for Two deals can feed more than two people. Right now for $17.99 you can get 2 chicken sandwiches, 2 drinks, 4 chicken tenders, and 2 sides.
- Skip the Kid’s Menu: The kid’s menu is $5.69 and comes with small portions for the price. Instead, grab the Chicken Little sandwich for $3.19. If you have two light eaters, the Chicken Little sandwich combo for $8.69 comes with 2 little chicken sandwiches, a regular fry, and drink to split.
- Family Meal Deals and Bucket Deals: And of course, we can’t forget about the family meal deals. Pairing a family meal deal with Tuesday’s $10 Bucket Deal will stretch your dollar even further. You will just need to make separate orders through the app. Even if you aren’t feeding a crowd, the family meal combos are a cheap way to meal prep for the week. Take the $24.99 Family Combo (digital exclusive offer) – this can stretch into four to eight lunch-sized meals (making it $3-6 per lunch).
