The folks at fast-food restaurants are working hard to keep us satiated during quarantine, and that means all the delivery, drive-thru and pick up perks we can handle. Cheesecake Factory keeps dishing out free cheesecake with orders, and Wendy’s was rewarding trips to the drive-thru with a free Frosty. Can it get any better than that?! Yes. It can.
The latest deal from McDonald’s will have you saying TGIF all month long. Now, you can snag free McDonald’s fries every Friday through June.
How to Order Your Free Fries at McDonald’s
You heard that right, McDonald’s is doling out the goods every Friday starting right now. What’s the catch? Well, there really isn’t one—all you have to do is spend a minimum of $1. That means you can get free McDonald’s fries and wash ’em down with a large $1 Coke.
To cash in this Friday, all you have to do is order through the McDonald’s app, and the deal will automatically be added at checkout. Keep in mind, though, you can only snag one medium order of fries per Friday. Still, we can’t help but salivate over our ultimate fast-food favorite and the word free. (Seriously, why are McDonald’s fries so good?)
How Long Will the Deal Last?
If you’re craving free fries to kick off your weekend, you’ll have to move fast. The promotion runs through June 27, 2021, so you’ll have plenty of Fridays to get your fix. Before you opt for delivery, make sure that your local McDonald’s is participating.
Now’s the time to download the McDonald’s app if you don’t already have it, and we don’t know about you, but we’re already poised over the order button.
Thanks, McDonald’s!
