“I do this at McDonald’s all the time. When you use the app, you get reward points, and the points are doubled during breakfast hours. On top of rewards, you can redeem for items like a Big Mac or large iced coffee, they also have a ‘deals’ section in the app where they offer discounts like a buy-one-get-one-free breakfast sandwich or free medium fries with purchase. It’s user-friendly and actually easier than making an order in person. This helps greatly with my social anxiety, as well as saves me tons of money. 

There have been days that my kids and I eat totally for free from rewards and deals I have saved up on different apps, and used it when we really needed it. Even places like Starbucks have rewards you can trade in for free drinks or reusable cups. Just from buying drinks and snacks! At the very least, using apps is super convenient and time-saving, and at most, you can get a free meal out of it. Totally worth the effort.”
