McDonald’s also has its own app where you can get fries for $1. Make sure you scan your code to earn points so you can redeem for future offers and free food.

If you start your day with coffee, you can save big with the Dunkin app. You can gain points when you check out and redeem them for coffee, doughnuts and more.

The Starbucks app allows you to earn stars that can help you redeem drinks, add-ons and bakery items.

Chick-Fil-A offers some customers a survey at the bottom of their receipt. Once completed, the customer gets an offer for a free sandwich emailed to them.
