At Chick-fil-A, many times I’ll use my points for a free cookie and tell them to give it to the car behind me in the drive thru and tell them I said “have a great day”! Spreading some joy for free! 😃
Aww that is so sweet and smart!! Such a great idea!
That’s so nice 😊
This is brilliant!
Love that idea!!
As a former Chick-fil-A employee, he’s right on everything. They read ALL the surveys and take comments and complaints VERY serious. 😊
I stopped eating fast food a long time ago. I feel better lost weight and saved a TON of money. Try recreating your favorites at home. :-)
Was coming to say this. Tip number one should have been ‘Don’t buy fast-food!’ I’ve had fast-food twice in 7 months and once was my roommate bringing it home for me. The amount of money I saved is ridiculous!
Most my fellow employees eat out every workday. With a lowball of spending $5 (which is near impossible and avg number of working days/month of 21) if you stopped that’s $105!
Now think how many meal portions you can make with $5! Take simple spaghetti with meat: ground beef $4/lb (yes even with current inflation prices and I’m in California); spaghetti noodles $1.60, pasta sauce $3 (even cheaper if you make your own). That’s a total of $8.60 and you get a minimum of 4 servings so $2.15/serving.
Defeats the purpose of *fast* food to recreate it at home. We all know it isn't cheap or healthy, but sometimes you need fast and convenient. 🤷♀️
At one point when I didn't eat meat, I ordered a salad from Chick-fil-A and told them no chicken and they gave me a discount. Every other fast food place I would go to that had salad I would still be charged as if I had bought it with the meat and they weren't nearly as good as the Chick-fil-A salad either!
i worked at chick fil a and if you don’t order chicken you are just paying for the base salad so all of the “goodies” so it is cheaper!
Unfortunately for me restaurants never gave a discount when ordering sandwiches without turkey, cheese, bacon etc.
For those who are gluten free, you can order no bun sub lettuce wrap and that will reduce price too!
Wow - I can't believe you didn't mention this at Chipotle - black beans & brown rice. It's a Ramsey Solution mantra! They give you a generous portion, you add the heat with their smoke sauce. It's considered 'two sides' and it's about $2. It's my go-to when I'm at the office and I've forgotten my lunch.
Like he said with the Ice, the same thing applies to Chick-fil-A.
1. We give out ice cups for free, and it's the same price to get no ice. A large drink with ice is the same amount of beverage as a medium with ice.
So get a drink no ice and a cup of ice.
Pay less, get the same amount (or possibly more) drink!
2. If you want a sandwich fry and drink, do not get small on either the fry or drink, it's more expensive!
If you ask for a meal, we ring it up as a "meal" but if you ask for a small fry we have to ring it individually so you don't get the "meal" price. If you ask for a small drink in a meal (Excluding lemonade because it's an upcharge) the small is the same price as a medium drink.
3. If you don't want a drink, but you want an entree and fries, don't buy the drink!
This sounds obvious, but people think it's cheaper to get the "meal" when in reality if you don't want the drink, you don't pay for it. So don't get a drink if you don't want it!
That's all for now! Have fun y'all!
George's coffee game is ON POINT! I used to work at a Panera next to a Starbucks so this is speaking to my soul lol
The Panera deal is excellent, if you use it. I went 2-3 times a day regularly all school year because I worked between two schools and Panera was on my way in, between the two schools during my lunch and travel time, and on my way home! Some days I'd get a tea in the afternoon, and sometimes I would get my coffee for the morning, and then treat my colleague to the fresh one in the morning!
I always get the bowl from Chipotle and get a few extra salsa on the side. First thing I do is divide the bowl in 40/60 (cuz I can't seem to stop at half!). The smaller portion I don't eat comes to work with me along with the extra salsa.
This wasn't part of the video, but my girls LOVE the Domino's chicken alfredo with bacon. They cost $5.99 if you do carryout. I boil some penne ahead to stretch the dish more. It's still the same great taste but feeds more mouths!
Always order from a fast food app because there are always deals and freebies that you can’t get otherwise. Sit in the parking lot, place your app order, then pick it up from the drive thru or inside if you want to eat there.
LOVE when George is on! You two are hilarious together
Totally agree lol they are hilarious! Lol
Yesss they should start a podcast together or something
I just want to say that I appreciate you guys changing the tone of the Dave Ramsey brand, it’s a new generation and it’s nice just to hear about simple things and then taking it up at the end of the video that this is how you live and not waste money.
At subway the wrap cost more than the foot long sub even though is half the amount of food. Bring your own wraps and buy a foot long sub. Toss the bread and you can make two wraps with the stuff in it, for less than the price of one. Good for people who cant have the bread.
Mine goes along with Starbucks. Don’t waste money on a peppermint white mocha. Just ask for a grande iced coffee with half and half and add in peppermint flavoring and white mocha sauce. I sub iced coffee for whatever the seasonal latte is. Bonus it’s only a 50 star reward because it’s coffee compared to 150 for a signature drink. Make the stars last longer!
Sorry this is so long after the video...I hope it is worth sharing. When using the Chick-Fil-A app, never use points to pay for a combo meal. They charge 2500 points for the meal, but if you add the components to the order separately and use points for them it is considerably less. That probably depends on the particular order, but for example I know a spicy chicken sandwich, med fries and large drink are around 1600 points, not the 2500 you would use for the 'combo meal.'
Hello! I ALWAYS get a Chic Fil-A nugget kids meal and always ask for the ice dream instead of the book or toy and it is just the perfect amount of food and a little guilty pleasure on a budget:) thanks for the hacks!
The Panera Bread coffee sip club is free for 3 months. I’ve canceled and a couple days later get an email invite for another 3 months of free coffee. It has been over a year and I haven’t paid for my daily coffees. I believe the strategy is if you get free coffee you will buy a bagel or something to eat as well. I can’t resist the cinnamon crunch bagel sometimes.
1 Chick Fil A Hack: Order Side Salad with your kids meal so you get a chicken salad. You can also order a side salad and nuggets entre only.
Ohhhh I love this idea!!😃
I LOVE the dynamic between you and George. Maybe in the near future, we will see the debut of The George & Rachel Show.
I would LOVE to see that show! 😄
And you're why their Smart Money Happy Hour show was born! 🎉
The Spicy Southwestern Salad from Chic-fil-a is my favorite.... 👌🏼
Morning! Rachel! George needs to be your side kick more often!
My husband and I get kids meals at Culver's. Comes with free scoop ticket for 1 scoop Custard with one topping. We save Scoopie Tokens and after we have 10 we get a free meal and treat ourselves to cheese curds. At Red Robin, we get one hamburger meal and 'monster' it to get 2 patties and we split it. 😁
Yeah! We collect the scoopie tokens as well. If you’re really feeling bold, check out the trash in the restaurant and snag some unclaimed tokens. We may or may not have done that discretely a few times 😅
At McDonald's, I always order the Daily Double. It is in their computer, but most employees don't know it's there. It is a double hamburger, but with all the veggies. Add small fries and the Dollar drink.
Most of these tips are great! Just be aware that sometimes light ice doesn't mean more liquid at Starbucks, because there is a recipe they follow. Sometimes it just means space at the top of your cup. However, whenever they, or anyone else, has a special where you need to buy two, I ask for no ice so I can refrigerate it for later and it won't be watered down. I do this with my Panera subscription, too, if I sit there and work for 2+ hours, I take the next drink home with me for later or the next day.
CAn't believe how you two are that fit with these recommendations xD
I know!!!! That’s exactly what I said!!! 😮
You two are the best! Thanks for cracking me up this morning!
George cracks me up!! Loved the episode!
Here in Florida I buy a full 8.00 sub from Publix and easily make two meals
Thank you Rachel, the chick-fil-A cookies are amazing!
You two are great together, very fun to watch.👍
At 5 guys burgers, ask them to put the fries in a separate bag. Not the same bag at your burgers. Most of the time they’ll dump more in than normal. So if you order a small you may end up medium etc. Just watch out for a very oily bag lol
Yes... the oily bag🤦🏽♀️
Yummy fries though ❤️
5 guys is shaving years off my life and I’m already with the exchange 🤣
I love all these hacks! thanks Rachel and George!!!
Loved this video !!! The best one yet. Thank you 😊
George is on point!
Excellent hacks. Just fun listening to the north of you!
You TWO are HILARIOUS and AWESOME!!! I Love your shows. All GOOD VIBES & Advice. The advice is All Good cause it’s with Humor and that makes it FUN. And when you want to be SLAPPED with the Truth and give it to you how it is but with A GOOD KIND HEART is your Dad-dio😎. He is GREAT AND AWESOME TOO🙏🏼👍🏼👍🏼. Keep up the good work!
well done fries! mind blown! thank you for that recommendations:)
Big fan of these tips!
Loved this video!
Great and awesome hacks!" I'm in the Rachel Cruze show where are they" facts of life on 💯
I love when George rags on Rachel. She is such a good sport! Great sibling energy here.
Instead of milkshake at chick fila Order an icecream cone $1.89 Its basically the same as having a vanilla milkshake which is almost $5
I worked at Chick-fil-A in high school…I always go at Christmas time and ask for a peppermint milkshake with Oreo crumbles instead of the peppermint chunks. Best of both worlds because they still add the peppermint flavoring
That was so, so great.
Lol! George, There’s a chick fil a next to our Publix.
My hack is to always order using the app when I am leaving wherever to go get the food. And If I get a drink I always order lite ice. I usually order water at CFA.
This was a very funny video! Y’all are goofy and this is such good info.
My respect for George doubled hearing his starbucks orders. Says a lot about him. And me.
Have you read the ingredients yet? Chick filet, no bueno ! In & Out is always my go to for healthy fast food
Great video!
I watch prices and have even clipped coupons but I didn’t know most of these hacks. Ka Ching! Thanks guys.
I love George, he's hilarious!!!
I love George! What's not to like!
Y’all are cracking me up!
Kids meals can trade their prize for ice cream. So if your really hungry this could help. We also get a 30 price grilled nugget and share it, especially if you have to eat low carb.
Yeah I'd never heard of Panera until 2013 when moving to OK and the cost/value is just not good enough for me. I do love their ice teas though.
I think Wendy's is bougie now too. I went there the other day and got a value meal for over $10. I was shocked.
At some gas stations they have Pizza Hut warmer stations they serve personal pizzas and other meals. I know it sounds questionable, but the pizzas are reasonably priced ($6-7 for personal pizza) and they taste good.
You guys are hilarious 😂
Chick-fil-A hack. I’m a mom of four boys and the three youngest all like coke. So I order 2 6 piece meals with coke that they all share. Then I get the spicy deluxe meal and give them the fries and give my oldest the drink. Always light ice. My hubby who’s a foot taller than me and has a huge appetite doesn’t hold back though😂😂😂
You two are hilarious together!!
Panera parmesan cauliflower soup at Walmart is so good yum
Chick-fil-a best customer service hands down.
We can eat (2people) at Texas Roadhouse for $28. Just order full rack of ribs comes with 2 sides… and we always have enough to take home. Just order waters.
Some places will take money off for saying 'no drink' with your combo meal. Zaxby's (an 'other' chicken place) will take about a dollar off your order. Then, get a cup of water.
Wow George’s tips are impressive, I am the same as Rachel it’s get the app and save or don’t eat out. But thanks for the tips, I will try to remember and I am Taco Bell all the way, def going to do custom order chipotle bowls from now on! Who knew?! 😳🤪Lol
Poor George, at least you didn’t give up and are still in front of the camera! Those peeps are probably still only commenters! So in reference to that commenter years ago, I say, Ha, George is killing it in life! How do you like him now? He is on national Radio and the internets every, single day! Fearless George! 👍🏻
I agree about Panera Bread. I've stopped going because I felt like I was getting shafted out of a sandwich. I also got triggered when Rachel said Chipotle is Mexican. Reminds me of those memes about Taco Bell being voted the best Mexican restaurant in a local newspaper survey in the middle of nowhere America.
I will avoid living anywhere that has a taco bell voted the best Mexican food
Yep, same here. I stopped going to Panera for the same reason. They hardly give you any food (it’s a mini sandwich) and you pay a fortune! Not worth my money at all…
George you are high maintenance at Chickfila. lol They probably see you coming and go oh no!
For a drink at Chick-fil-A, order an Arnold Palmer😊
I order a tall hot chai, bring my own choclate sauce to drizzle in,& a theormouse of ice. That way; im gettin TWO iced teas for price of one
Fun fact if I work at chick fil a and if you order no salt during a rush your fry’s are gonna hold up every on one line for 4 minutes so if you have any kind curtsy don’t order no salt unless you have a medical problem
yes i work at a diffrent fast food place and after i hand out the bag "can i have some salt packages please" some do say i share with some one that can have salt
“Courtesy”
Is it just me? When George goes back and forth from looking at Rachel to looking at the other camera I feel like I'm eavesdropping on their conversation.... Just me ok 🥴
Love Chick fil a! I believe I've gotten to Signature Member. All the points ❤
I don"t know Starbucks language either! Not spending money there. So could I sign up for the Panera sipper deal, get the beverages & freeze them for later enjoyment?
Will be doing the Chipotle hack for sure!
Go to Costco and eat their hot dogs from the vendor. You don't even need the Costco card because you walk in the opposite direction of the entrance to get there. Best food hack!
Costco hotdogs are not that good anymore. They are tasteless now.
Costco in LA asks for Costco card at food court
Sunjoy is definitely a pregnant woman thing!! Mom of three and every time I’m expecting I get hooked on it lol
Love me and americano! With cream it’s like a poor man’s latte . And so good over ice
Chick-fil-A hack BLT was not accepted as an order by us today 😂 so I guess that's only certain locations willing to do it then.
I don’t know if this is true or if it still works (considering if it is true), but I heard a while back that if you ask for the special drink of the day at Starbucks, it’s free. I’ve never tried it, but now I’m curious to try.
Also heard that according to their company policy if you go back and ask for a refill of the same drink you ordered, that they’ll give you that refill for free.
George and Rachel are my favorite. Also I’m not doing any of these hacks. Lol 😅
Haha The Ritz at Chick-Fil-A…. I like Chick Fil-A but there service is not good at the one by my home😄 they have made us wait for a slice of cheese for 20 minutes twice when they forgot it . They would walk around telling someone else to get it instead of anyone getting it. I almost got it myself🙃
Sounds like they need some survey feedback on that service.
Check out George rolling out some serious food hacks! I knew we were keeping him around for a reason😉😂
10:34 u nailed it George, not authentic, same fo taco bell 🙄
When my husband and I go to Panera we will order 1 whole sandwich and 1 whole soup or salad and make our own pick 2's. It's less money than 2 pick 2's.
Best hack advice for getting free meals at place? Just work at the fast food, cafe, or restaurant you want to get free food at. I work at cafe Rio and each day I work there I get a free meal on my break every time. They also give me an in app credit of 30 dollars every month to use at any of there locations. They also have a survey where you can get free desert every time you fill it out and no purchase is required to get the free desert after filling out the survey.
Love you both!!!!! George go sing at chick fil a and they’ll give you a cookie🥰
Is that true lol
Chick-fil-A has a 30 count nugget for 12.99 that’s not on the menu… I have 5 kids!
When I go to Culver's, I always get the kids meal my myself, it's plenty of food!
McDs Hot fudge sundae with m & m or oreo topping. Much cheaper than a Mcflurry.
I didn't realize toppings can be ordered! Thanks for the tip.
McDonalds has working ice cream machines?
Yes, a short vs. Americano. But where do you get the boiling water for the short?
If u do a group meal and split it. It cheaper over all .
George: "Don't. It's Ice Dream." lolll
I have two young kids and I have them split a 8 pieces chicken with lemonade and an extra cup. It’s cheaper and less waste.
This is not a money saving hack, but chick fila will make any soda "frosted" and basically add ice cream and blend it. Dr pepper is the best 😋
Oh my goodness I did not need to know this!😄lol I will now HAVE to get one!!😂👍🏼😋😋
Awesome hax
Lol I am on The Rachel Cruz show !!!! Where are they !
Amazing right ✅️
Arby’s happy hour menu. 👍🏻
Get the calendar as a gift, it has coupons
At Chick-fil-A? I don’t think they’ve done this since Covid started.
I think it upsets the workers when you ask for no salt. Don't know for sure but it would annoy me.🤣
even more if ask for packs of salt when you hand out the food. Some have reason one person can have salt but the other can and do want to get them mix up, but most just ask for fresh it takes more time and steps for a no salt.
My go to order from Chick-Fil-A is the market salad. I need to eat healthy.
At CFA, using the app put an ingredient that normally costs money in the special request section, I have never seen them deny it and it'ss a free ingredient extra. Obviously don't abuse it though because it might not work if you do
