The best McDonald's, KFC and Hungry Jack's deals this week
Hungry Australians spend $20.1 billion on fast food each year, according to IBISWorld.
This is why all the major restaurant chains are clamouring over each other to get to your wallet.
But this competition is good news for Yahoo Finance readers, who should never pay full price for a burger or chicken.
These are our picks from the current deals on at KFC, McDonald's and Hungry Jack's, so you can decide which one to walk into.
McDonald's: best discounts
A good source of discounts is the MyMaccas smartphone.
The weekly deals currently showing in the My Rewards section include:
$1 apple pie
$1 small fries

The special price for this meal only appears when you choose the "small" size within the app:

The KFC Australia mobile app is the best location to find chicken deals.
The New Products section shows the best temporary offers:

Hungry Jack's: best discounts
Hungry Jack's is a bit different to its rivals in that the greatest value is found on paper coupons.
But the burger chain is notorious for inconsistent acceptance of the coupons.
