The best McDonald's, KFC and Hungry Jack's deals this week
All the big fast food restaurants know the fastest way to Australian wallets is through compelling discounts.
So Australians hankering for a quick burger or chicken should never pay full menu price.
This is because the quick-service food industry is worth $20.1 billion annually, according to IBSWorld, and all the restaurants are desperate for a slice of that action.
November has been dominated by McDonald's '30 Days, 30 Deals' campaign, which has seen a different discount on offer each day – like $1 Big Macs – but strictly expiring on the same day.
However, McDonald's isn't the only game in town, so here are all the cheap eats currently available there and at KFC and Hungry Jack's:
