FREE Breakfast Friday at McDonalds (Fri 27th)

Baggy Trousers

Great deal, 1 minute of pleasure and then 3 hours of feeling awful and regretting eating such shíte.

Wouldn't mind popping by, but has anyone had one? Are they nice?

I don't like them myself (I think the egg has a weird texture) but you may as well give it a go when it's free.

Get Real

Great Bargain!

Nice to be able to go in somewhere and for it to be genuinely free, no strings!

Must say though, I never liked their sausage muffin, I just don't like the shape and texture of the pork.

That said, I LOVE the Bacon muffin, just a good old rasher and an egg, mmmm.:D but I'd only eat that or their breakfast roll, generally I dont like their brekkie.

PS: For anyone posting in a bargain alert forum, to complain about something being free...:rolleyes:

They are tasty enough
Much better than the regular menu
I think I will add a double sausage and egg to the free one

I was down at kylemore road and the amount of cars going through the drive thur was crazy, so many cars in the queue - all getting them with no issues

CR 7

I was at my local one just before 7 and I was already the second customer. There's signs up everywhere about it and you just ask for whichever one you want and they hand it to you for free. No strings at all. I pass 3 of them on the way to work so there's now 3 bacon and egg mcmuffins in me, minus the muffin and cheese parts which are in my bin.

vicwatson

Given its advertised in the individual branches and on national radio I reckon something like " can I please have my free (insert choice), thanks for that"

Seems bit desperate to me. 2 Euro will buy you one, is it really worth the effort?

Why bother going to the trouble of taking one.....I dont get peoples rants and moans at all, if you dont want to avail of the bargain, then dont, but posting about how crap or calorific it is, well I dunno.....

I'd love a mcmuffin right now not near a MCDonalds .. sad face ... enjoy everyone .

James Bond Junior

Just got my mcmuffin. Never had one until now. Nice tack but I won't be stopping especially in future! Coffee is good mind you!

im in that kylemore branch every morning for coffee on the way to work so I didn't go in just for the free mcmuffin - but I will say I have never seen it that busy in the mornings and there would only ever be a few cars going through the drive-thru in the mornings . saw a guy bring his kids in still in their pj's

Chaos at the one on Belgard road with all the cars at the drive thru backing up out onto the road outside and bringing normal traffic to a standstill ... saw the traffic cops heading that way a minute ago..

2nd Row Donkey

I must say it's a fantastic way to alienate your regular customers who now have to queue for 15 mins instead of 15 seconds for a coffee. Bravo

BoJack Horseman

People would queue 30 mins for €2.

Humans are fascinating.

Yup. I get a coffee every morning before work. I'd rather pay extra to get one in Costa, than stand in the queue outside the McDonald's.

While your getting one ask for a sense of humer while your in there , I enjoyed mine it was meant as a joke, maybe too early got you.

FrStone

Drive thru in ballincollig is manic! They are out of the bacon though!

2nd Row Donkey

Well after watching numerous school kids just skip the queue and join their friends at the top of the queue for 10 mins I had enough and left. Currently enjoying a coffee in insomnia ... and I think this will be my new regular spot

Phantom99

I said Id try one as I was passing anyway. 3 min wait for me so no big deal.

Glad I did

Not €2, It was €2.60 last time I got one a few weeks ago if I remember correctly.

I did a drive by of Maynooth on the way to work but there was a massive queue so I kept driving. It wasn't worth it.

cmon guys, we can do better than this.

support your local independent coffee shops, they are bloody everywhere!

Got mine after a 15 minute wait in the drive through. Delicious but the place was rammed & the cars are queued up about 150 yards for the drive through

The local McDonnalds in Swords (and surrounding areas) are all owned by a local husband and wife (think they own 5 of them) and I assume their staff reside in Ireland (unless they've automated it and it's outsourced to India or somewhere)... Is this not supporting local business?

I'd be fair pissed off if my route to work was blocked by tight arsed people not even bothered to get out of their car to walk into the place FFS.

The only good local coffee shops are in town or worse in affluent suburbs with substandard coffee at exorbitant prices no thanks if you can find a good cup of coffee for a reasonable price i would be interested.

MarkR

I was at the drivethough in Limerick at 945, said I was too fat and f*ck off. Ok, they didn't say that, but the window was closed. Now I'm hungry and my beard is grease free. :-{C}

tharmor

got easy wisy at dun laoghaire....

muppetkiller

Walked in the Mc Donalds in Galway on Shop Street and had my Mc Muffin within a minute

Can't say it was very tasty but It was well worth the price

Forgot about this until I was on my way to work and then it was too close to 10 to make it. Boooooo!

Wormking2002

Had mine and it got washed down with some fine muckwash tea...which i had to pay for

ablelocks

Don't know where you're based, but Blanchardstown Shopping Center down the back of inspiring ideas (which is in the same retail park as Smyths) is what seems to be an independent, it's fantastic

No point in subsidising sub standard businesses. Just go to the coffee shop where you get the best coffee and service for the best price. If that happens to not be an independent place so be it. Competition is a good thing. It will lead to the better shops survivng.

Trev De rev

in and out in 1min in Mallow @ 7:30 this morn. He wouldn't give me some for my work mate's. Work mate went in after me and came out with 3 bacons.

clever user name

Hadn't had a Mcdonalds breakfast in years, so thought why not! Got off the bus on dame street and stopped at the 3 mcdonalds on the way to work. Feel like a pig

ankers99

Got out of hand in Newbridge. They closed the drive thru due to the large numbers inside. The driver at the front of the drive thru decides not too move until he got his free mcmuffin therefore everyone else behind him was trapped. No movement for 45 mins. Haha id say the where a lot of kids late for school and adults for work. So i ordered 3 for me

I queued up for 5 minutes at McDonalds Temple Bar, then immediately went out and gave it to the nearest homeless person.

I felt guilty giving her such muck so went to Aldi and bought a box of fruit n Fibre, 1 litre milk and a bowl/spoon. She was delighted if not a little confused!

And the solar powered fridge to keep the milk chilled?
