Clever Mum shares her budget buster Happy Meal hack!
So clever!
How many times have you driven past McDonald's and the kids scream out from the back seat "HAPPY MEAL", only to pout and crack a tantrum when told no?
In our house this happens more times than I care to count.
Treating the family to a take away dinner can be an extra expense to the weekly budget.
One clever Mum has shared her McDonald's Happy Meal hack!
"For all you Mums out there who have kids that request Happy Meals ALL. THE. TIME.... keep the box and customise your own. They'll never know and you save $$$", she shared on social media.
"Fake Happy Meals still equals a happy child 😃", she added.
Why have I never thought of doing this?!
It is so quick and easy, cook some nuggets in the oven, slice up some apple and whack in a Kinder Egg.
This would cost around $2, instead of the usual $8 per Happy Meal.
