Yahoo Finance The best McDonald's, KFC and Hungry Jack's deals this week
The fast food industry rakes in $20.1 billion annually from hungry Australians each year, according to IBISWorld.
It's no wonder the big-name restaurants are constantly discounting to get themselves a slice of that massive pie.
That's good news for Yahoo Finance readers, who should never, ever pay menu price for a quick meal.
Here are our favourite deals this week from KFC, McDonald's and Hungry Jack's, to help you decide where to go.
McDonald's: best discounts
Usually the best deals are found in the MyMaccas smartphone app – but that's not the case this week. At the time of writing, there were exactly zero discounts showing there.
It must be because McDonald's is trying to channel customers to its current Mini Games promotion. By playing a series of games within the app, you can score the following free food items:
Regular sundae
Small fries
McCafé small coffee
Big Mac burger
McChicken burger
Hash brown

Paper coupons are the popular method of getting a discount from Hungry Jack's.
But the restaurant is not as generous as ite rivals – individual franchises will vary wildly in their acceptance of the vouchers.
Some outlets will outright reject any coupons. Some will want to see the original paper leaflet before giving the discount. Others will allow customers to show their voucher on their smartphone.
