Wendy’s Weekly Free Giveaways
Remember the uproar earlier this year when Wendy’s announced it would soon begin testing price increases?
The chain still appears to be trying to make amends for its announcement.
In April, the chain announced that it would be offering a free order of fries (any size) with any purchase through the chain’s app every Friday through the end of the year.
The chain recently added nuggets to its menu.
For a limited time, the chain is offering a free six-piece chicken nuggets offer for anyone who purchases an item through its app on Wednesday.
The chain is also offering “Nuggs Party Packs” containing about 50 chicken nuggets at some locations.
The local price seems to be $21.99.
For participating locations, visit www.wendysnuggsparty.com.
The chain recently launched a limited-time $3 meal for breakfast eaters that includes an egg, cheese, bacon or sausage sandwich on an English muffin, along with a side of seasoned fries.
Additionally, the limited-time Dave’s Daily Dollar Deal, which offers select menu items for $1 with the purchase of the app, was set to expire last month but appears to still be in effect.
Menu items available for $1 include a Crispy Chicken BLT, Jr. Bacon Cheeseburger, small chili, medium fries, four-piece chicken nuggets and a small Frosty.
