5 Big Macs and 5 Large Fries - $13
Hey everyone,
I never thought fast food restaurants would participate in Living Social or Groupon type deals. To my surprise this morning, I saw that McDonald's has posted a deal on Living Social; 5 Big Macs and 5 Large Fries for $13. Looking at the deal in my e-mail, I showed it to my boyfriend and commented that fast food companies are geared towards serving large quantities of customers and so if they made a lot of sales on this deal it would not negatively effect the business.
After saying that, I clicked thru to the purchase page and saw how many had sold. 170,000 people purchased the deal!! I discussed with my boyfriend and then made the purchase. By the time I paid, 300 more people had bought.
The deal says that it is 50% savings, but where I live I'd be hard pressed to get 2 of each item for $13.
Since the deal is obviously great and even more obviously popular, I have decided to post it on my blog. If you want to buy it you will receive a voucher booklet in the mail in about 2 weeks. The book will contain 10 vouchers, valid for 5 fries and 5 Big Macs. You can redeem one fry and one Big Mac voucher per person, per visit. The deal expires at midnight tonight.
Think stocking stuffers! You could break the voucher booklet up and disperse it into 5 seperate stockings, or you can keep the book in your car for spur-of-the moment dinner runs when nobody wants to cook. There are so many reasons why you should pick up this deal.
When I found the deal 30 minutes ago, there were 170,000 purchased. By the time I finished payment, 170,350 had purchased, and by the time I wrote this blog to inform you all, there are 175,000 sold. This has got to be a Living Social record!
Talk to you all soon,
Hillary
