McDonald’s hack to get quarter pounder cheaper than a cheeseburger

If you’re planning a lunchtime trip to McDonald’s today, upgrading your order from a cheeseburger to a quarter pounder could pay off and save you money. There’s a way to get the tasty treat for less than £1 for today only, saving shoppers a whopping £2.70.

This Monday (August 15), the fast food chain’s quarter pounder with cheese will be on offer for 99p, making it 20p cheaper than the Saver Menu cheeseburger, after its price increased for the first time in 14 years last month.

The popular menu item consists of a beef patty, topped with slivered onions, tangy pickles and two slices of melty American cheese on a sesame seed bun - consider it a beefed-up cheeseburger, if you’ll pardon the pun.
