The McDonald's Breakfast Hack For An Affordable Sausage Egg McMuffin
By Stacie Adams
If you like McDonald's breakfast but want to scale back on your fast food spending, try asking for a side order of eggs with a plain sausage McMuffin to help save you some cash.
At certain McDonald's locations, a sausage McMuffin sans egg costs just $2.49, while a sausage and egg McMuffin will run you $1.50 more at $3.99.
Your success with this trick will vary depending on the practices at your local McDonald's, and some locations may not honor this hack or offer extra eggs as an option.
Sources claim prices from $1 to $1.59 for a side of eggs, so you may have to test the waters at your McDonald's by ordering the sandwich both ways to see which is cheaper.
