The Cincinnati Bengals have a roster that just two years ago looked like a perennial AFC contender. Now, however, they find themselves in transition. Franchise quarterback Joe Burrow is back to full health, and the team has invested heavily in draft capital to reload across key positions. That said, as the Bengals look to climb […]
The post 3 Bengals veterans whose roles will be pushed by rookies in 2025 appeared first on ClutchPoints.
A MCDONALD’S superfan has revealed the very clever way you can avoid paying full price for your nuggets and burgers.
TikTok user @thefinancegurl shared how there is an easy hack anyone can do for free that gets you money off.
The trick is to keep hold of your receipt after you order some food from Maccies.
In a video which has racked up 8,000 likes, she said: “Here’s how I never pay full price at McDonald’s.
“When you get a receipt, you’ll notice that there’s a website address at the top where you can fill in a satisfaction survey.
“All you need to do is head to that website and fill in the 12-digit code that’s on your receipt.
“You’ll then be taken to a customer satisfaction survey, which is super quick.
“It takes about two minutes to complete.”
Once you’ve completed the survey, you’ll then be sent a special voucher as a reward.
The bargain hunter added: “This voucher lets you order a Big Mac plus a medium fries or a side salad for only £2.99.
“If you don’t want a Big Mac, there’s also alternatives you can choose from, like the McNugget meal, a McChicken sandwich or a Filet-O-Fish.
“All you need to do is show your QR code at the till and state what your preference is.”
In her clip she showed how she had decided to go for a McChicken sandwich with medium fries, and also got tap water, which is completely free.
She concluded: “So my entire meal came to only £2.99.”
We also shared how McDonald’s is giving out free Chicken McNuggets this month – but there’s a catch.
Fast food fans better hurry up and place a delivery if they want the free nuggets.
McDonald’s is offering diners six free Chicken McNuggets following its recent partnership with delivery outfit Deliveroo.
“Thanks to our new partnership with Deliveroo Plus, you can get six Chicken McNuggets for free this month,” the fast food chain wrote in an Instagram post.
“Until the 15th of June, customers spending £15 or more [UK] or €20 [IRE] when ordering through Deliveroo will also receive a portion of six Chicken McNuggets, at no extra cost!
“It’s just one of the ways we’re offering fantastic value to our McDonald’s fans this summer.”
However, revellers will need a Deliveroo Plus subscription and must order between 11am and 5am daily.
But hurry – the offer expires June 15.
You could end up being charged more for a McDonald's meal based solely on the McDonald's restaurant you choose.
Research by The Sun found a Big Mac meal can be up to 30% cheaper at restaurants just two miles apart from each other.
You can pick up a Big Mac and fries for just £2.99 at any time by filling in a feedback survey found on McDonald’s receipts.
The receipt should come with a 12-digit code which you can enter into the Food for Thought website alongside your submitted survey.
You’ll then receive a five-digit code which is your voucher for the £2.99 offer.
There are some deals and offers you can only get if you have the My McDonald’s app, so it’s worth signing up to get money off your meals.
The MyMcDonald’s app can be downloaded on iPhone and Android phones and is quick to set up.
You can also bag freebies and discounts on your birthday if you’re a My McDonald’s app user.
The chain has recently sent out reminders to app users to fill out their birthday details – otherwise they could miss out on birthday treats.
MARILYN Monroe famously stated she wore “only Chanel” perfume to bed – which is all very well if you can afford the £135 price tag.
Thankfully shoppers have found a “dupe” for the Chanel Mademoiselle scent at M&S, and it’ll only set you back £10.
The Marks and Spencer Airport Arrival scent is said to blend “warm spice with the delicate scent of mimosa.”
The description reads: “Cardamom and pink pepper give a vibrant opening, while violet and iris soften into a base of sandalwood, musk and vanilla.”
And for a tenner, this scent could be a huge money-saver.
With Chanel Mademoiselle costing £135 at Boots, you can avoid paying £125 for a very similar scent, according to beauty lovers.
Bargain hunter Hannah, who posts under @lueurwithhannah, wrote on TikTok: “If you want to smell like Coco Mademoiselle try this from M&S.
“Same top notes apparently.
“Here for the marks and Spencer dupes.”
The designer alternative is said to have an “ambery woody fragrance with a full-bodied character: sensual, deep and addictive.”
It isn’t the only M&S perfume to have caused a stir.
Alex Pavlova, from the UK, took to social media and claimed a selection of perfume dupes from M&S were so good she had ditched the originals.
She then went on to share four of her favourite ones and how much money the originals cost.
The first on her list was a dupe for the £234 Le Labo Santal 33 scent.
The cheaper alternative is the Warmth fragrance which costs a fraction of the price at £12.
M&S says the expertly blended scent combines aromatic notes of cardamom, cinnamon, cedarwood and sandalwood to evoke a warming feeling of comfort.
She also revealed that the Spiced Amber fragrance was a dupe of Paco Rabanne’s One Million and saves you £80.
Alex was also a fan of Jo Malone’s Wood Sage & Sea Salt perfume but at £118 it was on the pricier side.
Thankfully, she found a budget-friendly dupe from the British store with their Ocean Musk fragrance.
And for those who love the fresh and floral notes of Miss Dior perfume but want to avoid the £122 price tag, you’re in luck.
Alex revealed that the £10 Blooming Lovely fragrance for M&S was almost identical.
Fashion Editor Clemmie Fieldsend says it’s time fashion snobs stopped looking down their noses at affordable versions of designer buys.
Bargain US supermarket Walmart became a social media sensation when its £60 dupe of Hermès’ Birkin bag, dubbed the Wirkin, went viral.
Influencer @styledbykristi gushed: “Eighty dollars (£60), you can pretend that you got a Birkin. I mean, everyone will probably know it’s not, because who the hell has the money to spend on the real Birkin? Not me.”
Me neither. And why bother? I would never spend that on a designer bag (although if someone wants to buy one for me, that’s a different story).
Plus, if I splashed that much, I’d feel I was being ripped off…
We’ve all been told how the leading brands use the finest leather, thread, dyes and craftsmanship in the world.
But all that is inflated by fashion houses to create the desired illusion of exclusivity.
Just last year, Dior came under investigation for paying £44 to assemble a bag that sells for £2,000.
So while you might think you are paying for top-level craftsmanship carried out by a true artisan, chances are the poorly paid workers are not seeing any of your hard-earned cash.
Dupes — not to be mistaken for knock-offs that copy everything from the logo to the inside label — are a more practical and all-round sensible way to go.
I bought my first when I was 18. It lasted me four years and only broke after I wore it in the shower.
And these days, British high streets have plenty of dupes. In the past three years, Marks & Spencer, H&M and Mango have all seen huge spikes in sales thanks to their canny copies. They use the same viral, must-have marketing tactics that pricey brands have.
Fashion folk will tell you that you are making an investment and buying a “heritage piece” and will turn their noses up at a high street equivalent. But we’ve been wearing looks inspired by catwalk designers for decades.
If we can buy a bag that’s the spitting image of the pricier version, but doesn’t mean you have to remortgage, why not?
