McDonald’s is giving out FREE FRIES today for National French Fry Day. And you don’t have to buy anything else to get them. You do have to use their app and sign up for their loyalty program though.
If you order through their app, you can get a free LARGE order of fries, no purchase necessary. Here are a few more deals to check out . . .
1. Wendy’s has free fries with any purchase through their app.
2. Burger King rewards members can get free Chicken Fries if they spend $3.
3. Heinz and DoorDash teamed up for a deal. On any order with fries that’s $15 or more, you can get $5.70 off today. It’s a nod to their “57 Varieties.”
4. White Castle is giving away a free small fry with any purchase. (They said they’re posting a coupon on social media today.)
5. And Checkers and Rally’s have a weird promo where you have to sign a petition to make “Fry Day” always fall on an actual Friday. It’s on a Wednesday this year, and they think that’s dumb. You can get a free medium fry if you sign it.
(You can find even more National French Fry Day deals here and here.)
