If you are thinking of getting this Set C: Snack Plate Combo @ RM10.50 You may want to consider getting two sets of this   Set A: 1 Piece Combo @ RM4.95 with 2 sets of Set A, you pay 2xRM4.95=RM9.50 for 2 pieces of chicken and it's RM1.00 cheaper!! what's more??!! you get an extra bun and an extra drinks compared to Set A, though you eat 2 potatoes with no coleslaw, what's the big deal since their coleslaw "sharks" :p..

喺我上一篇貼文中, 我哋討論過某快餐廳嘅汽水添飲, 同埋我很少好似「師奶」咁去搵佢著數.. 不過呢, 我始終係「大叔」一名(呵呵!!), 所以我對價錢好敏感, 成日都會左計右計點樣以最少買到最多.. 我諗大家去快餐店嘅時候, 都係會慣常地叫套餐, 因為價錢同單點相若不過有多杯嘢飲同薯條之類.. 呢個當然係對的第一步, 不過眾多套餐當中, 大家又有否動諗下其他配搭, 邊樣更加值得呢?? 請點擊上面各份套餐, 睇下本人有何發現啦.. 預祝大家有個愉快的週末, 呢個週末大家係唔係會去KFC或McD咁呀?? 哈哈~~ :p

in my previous post, we talked about drinks refills at a fast food chain and that i don't often act like an "uncle" to take advantage of that.. however i am, "uncle" as always (haha!!), very price-sensitive and calculate what best stretches my money.. i guess most of us, when patronizing fast food chain, would naturally look at the combo or set meals available, because a-la carte can be just around the price but without drinks and sides.. okay, that's the first correct step, and within the many different combo or sets offered, have you ever thought of other combinations so that you get the maximum from what you spend?? please click on each of the two set meals above and see what i have discovered.. a happy weekend ahead to everyone, and are you heading down to KFC or McD coming weekend?? hehe~~ :p

或者我係後知後覺, 不過我係早幾日先知道原來麥當當已經唔再俾大家免費添汽水喇, 每添一次就承惠五毫子.. 其實對我而論都冇咩大不了, 因為我真係好少可添飲嘅.. 或者對習慣搵著數嘅朋友就係一個噩耗, 因為好多人都買一杯(不停添)飲一成日, 或者收埋隻杯等下一次再去就有免費汽水飲.. 我個人其實唔反對麥當當咁做喎, 因為很多「精明」人都只係識得搵著數, 而最終變成侵犯權益.. 不過可能突然間改變好多人接受唔到, 不如就免費添飲一次, 之後喺隻紙杯上做返個(不能消滅的)記號?? 本人一個小小建議.. 不過我更加希望見到同樣嘅行動用于茄汁辣椒醬上囉.. 或者俾大家兩包免費嘅, 如果再要多啲就每包一毫子售出.. 事關實在見得太多被免費醬汁縱壞晒嘅顧客, 刻意浪費不特止, 仲要不屑一切.. 請學習茄汁辣椒醬點薯條, 唔係薯條送茄汁辣椒醬, 如果可以喜愛食物原有味道就更加好啦, 唔係食乜叉都要點辣椒醬嘛!! 有免費嘢大家就理所當然駛到盡, 要俾錢先識得節省同珍惜.. 人呀, 馬來西亞人!!

maybe i'm slow but i just realized couple of days ago that there is no more free refill for carbonated drinks at MacRonald, instead you pay 50-sen for every refill.. okay, not a big deal to me as i don't usually go for refills.. probably a frustrating news for people who always take advantage of the free refill, they buy a small cup and stay in there for one whole day, or keep the cup for free drinks on their next visits.. i am not against this act from MacRonald, because i find many "smart" people take advantage of their privileges and end up abusing the rights.. but perhaps such an abrupt change is unacceptable to pampered customers, how about something like one free refill and then have an untempered-able indication on the cup?? just my humble suggestion.. but seriously, i would like to see the same thing applied to ketchup and chili sauce, maybe 10-sen per sachet after the first two free sachets?? i have seen too many customers pampered with free sauce, who always create deliberate wastage yet not cared at all.. learn to just dip your fries with sauce and not soak them in as if you need fries to go with (drinking) your sauce, or better still love food on their own tastes, you do not need chili sauce for everything lah!! when given for free, things are often taken for granted but if asked to pay, things are surely appreciated.. humans, Malaysians!!
