What to order at McDonald’s

  1. Cheeseburgers might be your usual order, but you can save 2 Points by opting for a hamburger.

  2. Want chicken? Hold the bun and get a 4- or 6-piece order of nuggets. You’ll get the same crunch for fewer Points.

  3. Order a Happy Meal®; kids-size fries are only 3 Points or you can choose apple slices for even less!

  4. For something sweet, order a Vanilla Cone. At 10 Points, it’s less than half that of a small vanilla shake (25 Points) or regular M&M McFlurry (35 Points).

  5. When getting a flavored coffee drink, go for sugar-free syrup. A small McCafé®Sugar Free French Vanilla Iced Coffee is only 4 Points compared to 8 Points for the regular.
