Wow, wtf is happening?

I got a large fountain drink for $1.25 the other day. McD's is messing with us.



Like my buddy would say, "It's because I'm jewish, right?"

Walmart rolled back their price on 946 mL International Delight Creamers. $3.97 starting yesterday. BTW, Walmart stopped price matching last year. Save-On-Foods, Shoppers Drug Mart, and Superstore are the only ones left that price match. Anyway…………..

Perfect timing! I'm almost done my hazelnut and needed to get some. Thanks MG1!

Another circle K rock paper scissor contest.

So far I have won a couple free frosters, chips, energy drink, vitamin water etc. Redeem 3 per day max. You can play once every day resetting at 9pm PST.

MG1 06-09-2021 02:14 PM

McDonald's still has $1.00 any size coffee. I thought it ended last week, but it keeps showing up on my app.

99¢ Frosty at Wendy's. Free large fries with any mobile order.

Free Nashville Chicken Burger with minimum dollar purchase at Burger King via app. Got one last week, but it's still on my app.

Popeye's has 1/4 lb shrimp for $2.99 with purchase. No app needed. I bought their biscuit for 99¢ and got the deal. I ordered one of their deep fried Strawberry Cream Cheese Pies, but it didn't work. Lady goes, get a biscuit and you'll get the shrimp for $2.99. BTW, the biscuit was pretty good. Through their app, you get a free pie with any combo order, so it was a toss up. The pie is pretty darn good. $1.29, IIRC. I went to the Kingsway near 10th avenue location.

So many good deals out there..........

TouringTeg 06-09-2021 04:11 PM

Burger King has $1 ice cream cone as well no coupon needed.

I had the free Nashville hot chicken. It was ok. Very spicy.
It still shows on my app but if I click it I just get a blank. Can’t use it again.

MG1 06-16-2021 09:53 AM

McDonald's dollar cone days are back, but no more coffee deal. Hmmmm....... McD's cone or Wendy's 99¢ Frosty? I do get free large fries with the Frosty, but I'm not fond of Wendy's fries................ decisions, decisions, decisions, lol.

lilaznviper 06-16-2021 12:22 PM

waiting for all their ice cream machines to suddenly start breaking

Just went to use the App offer to try the $1 Nashville Hot Chicken, very meh. Ordered Jalapeno Poppers for $1.99. $3 lunch :notbad:
I actually preferred the Ghost Pepper McChicken.

Is it just me getting older or picky taste buds or BK in general has gone downhill in quality? Over the years the last 3-4 times I went there for Whoppers and various burgers have been far below average. Dry and tasteless. Doesn't have the flame-broiled taste I remember from 10+ years back.

My go-to fast food burger now is Five Guys,

Same here, I find myself always switching the fries to the baked potato.
I used to dip my McDonald's fries into the milk shake or scrape off the soft serve... SO GOOD!... haha I thought I was the only weird one that does that ...

Hi Five Chicken on Hastings near Kensington Square is celebrating their first anniversary. Free drumstick with any order from June 19th to the 25th. One day only, on the 19th, a free cheesecake with any order. Only at the Hastings location.

I wAnder if they still give out two free drumsticks for showing your Covid card and ID?

whitev70r 06-18-2021 06:43 PM

If you like win win chicken ... this is a decent deal.

5 piece for $15
10 piece for $23
Steveston Location - https://www.groupon.com/deals/win-wi...c-ace46978cd84

Here's the Main location - https://www.groupon.com/deals/win-wi...0-de2ea191d623

MG1 06-18-2021 06:51 PM

I have win win chick'n Groupons from/for them coming out of my ying yang......... I go to the Main Street location and wait for Groupon 10 bucks off and other perks to really get best bang for the buck.

whitev70r 06-18-2021 07:27 PM

^ man, the fried chicken market is exploding with Mary Brown's, Popeyes ('popping' up everywhere), not to mention all those Indie Korean Fried Chicken. How do you like win win?

MG1 06-18-2021 09:18 PM

Large pieces and different enough that it's noteworthy. Bottom line, I get it because of the Groupon. Sides are alright.

One chicken place to avoid is the Korean chicken place on Broadway. Donkey Kong or something along those lines. Maybe because they opened up not that long ago, but I haven't felt "ripped off" at a restaurant in a long time.

Also, anyone been to Carp Sushi and Bowl across from Kingsgate Mall? Highly rated, so I went. Not impressed. I didn't get their poke bowl. Maybe that's why?

Teriyaki 06-18-2021 09:30 PM

Oh wow, I didn't know Groupon was still a thing! The 10 piece for 23 is not bad. They have deals from time to time on Ubereats for b1g1 as well.

Jonydakiller 06-19-2021 11:20 AM

It's limited time sale right now on groupon for win win. $18.40 for 10 pieces combo.
esketitttttt

MG1 06-19-2021 03:04 PM

Too bad I already have three. I used to go Superstore on Marine Drive to charge for free. Then get cheap flowers from Niki Florists before picking up the chick’n. Now that the charging isn’t free, not going anytime soon.

The Groupon is only valid on weekdays.

whitev70r 06-19-2021 05:19 PM

There is a Groupon voucher for Pinnacle Lobby Restaurant in North Vancouver, near the Lonsdale Quay, a 3 course meal for $92 for 2 people ... pretty decent deal. Great appies, great entre selections, and for dessert - either Tiramisu or Creme Brule!

https://www.groupon.com/deals/the-lo...nacle-hotel-16

Menu:
Starter: Wagyu beef carpaccio, summer berry quinoa salad, grilled octopus nicoise, or lobster and crab bisque
Entree: pan seared sea bass, lobster capellini, red thai curry, duck a l’orange, or opal valley lamb
Dessert: tiramisu, or creme brulle

When there is a sale like 20% off anything on Groupon, it's a steeeaaaaallll!

corollagtSr5 06-19-2021 06:03 PM

I'm not a fan of win win chicken either.
