McDonald's: Coupon For FREE Fruit & Maple Oatmeal Found in Silverware Packages?!
UPDATE: You may also be able to snag a coupon for FREE Oatmeal on your coffee cup…what a great excuse to order a Mocha today. 🙂
Next time you’re at McDonald’s and need silverware, look inside your silverware package and you may received a nice coupon surprise! Check out the email I received from reader, Brittany:
Hi Collin,
My husband & I stopped for a quick breakfast this morning at McDonald’s. We both grabbed some silverware for our meals & had a nice surprise when we opened them! Inside was a coupon for free oatmeal on your next visit! Plus, it doesn’t expire until 3/27/11! Just wanted to share this as a thank you for everything you’ve shared with me!
Come back and let us know if you are able to score this great coupon, too. And I’d love to hear what you all think of the new fruit and maple oatmeal at McDonald’s. I have yet to try it.
I got that coupon too.
I got the same thing and have had the oatmeal and thought it was pretty good. Excited about the coupon!!!
Got it yesterday, too!!
I never thought to add apples to oatmeal before, but it’s really good. Have been making my own version at home with instant packets. Also, at least in my area (WI), McDonalds is offering buy one oatmeal, get a second for yesterday’s high temperature….
My brother came over with Mocha and there was coupon on the cup for a free fruit and maple oatmeal.
bahhh we just went to mcdonnalds last night and i didnt even look lol
All the McDonald’s in my area are offering free oatmeal every Friday in January from 7am-11am with no purchase necessary. They have given me one for everyone in my car. I LOVE oatmeal and I think this one is pretty good. Tastes even better when it’s free. I go through the drive-thru and then bring it home and add some milk.
These are also on the coffee cups – I’ve gotten three of them – two on medium coffee cups and one on a large – they’re stuck to the cups as peel offs!!
I had one stuck on my coffee yesterday 🙂
Yes this happened this morning in Chicago too!
I’m just shocked they have Silverware. lol
LOL…plasticware!
Sporks!!
you can find the coupons in the silverware, on some bags, and on the coffee cups. But be warned, the fine print says you have to wait 2 hours from the time you got the coupon to be able to use it.
That is ridiculous – probably so you will make a return trip?
that’s the exact reason. it’s pretty good marketing. plus the oatmeal is good lol
How exactly do they know when you got the coupon?
silverware? :confused:
I tried the new oatmeal last week and was pleasantly surprised! It’s really tasty!
got the coupon this morning too…on silverware packages and on the coffee!
i got one on HOT chocolate and coffee cups! also my mcdonalds were handing out free oat meal coupons at the drive though!
I LOVE the McDonalds oatmeal. I have been getting my coffee in the morning and a new peel sticker each time, so its definately a bonus.
I wonder if they come on the frappe cups as well. Yes, I know it’s freezing out but I LOVE the frappes!!
was just there yesterday and had a salad, didn’t get one in my silverware packet 🙁
Boo! I have ordered the oatmeal twice (with spoon!) and haven’t gotten a free one yet.
In my opinion the oatmeal is very good. You don’t get just one apple and one raisin with a cup of oatmeal. The cup is full of fruit. I will definitely buy it again.
Thanks! We just went to McDonald’s for lunch and we had a coupon in our silverware, too! 🙂
received one this morning on my medium mocha, mmmm and the oatmeal is good although if they ask you if you want brown sugar on it say yes, I’ve had it both ways and WITHOUT is just plain yucky!!
The oatmeal is so good. I have had it 2 times now. The first was more liquidy then the second but I bring it home and add a little water and stir it up. You can ask for the items to be on the side if you want.
I love it- so I made it at home !!! Yum!
Oatmeal is disgusting on any level. Sorry!
Especially from McDonalds! Yuck!
They are in the silverware packs & on the medium & large coffee cups! I work there so i should know! lol 🙂 & their good til the end of march! everyone that has tried it liked it!
They are on the bags in my town. I grabbed a couple of of bags left on the tables in our work breakroom. Yay me I am up 5 breakfasts with no money invested! lol
I love the oatmeal at McD. In fact I won’t eat anything else there. 2 friends gave me their cup coupons. yea!
We get a set of ad’s about once a month in our mail that is for restaurants and stores we have here. Usually it is for Pizza Hut, Jack in the Box, Arby’s, Etc. Back in November there was a Mcdonald’s one that was FULL of coupons. It had a free caramel mocha, no purchase necessary, free oatmeal, no purchase necessary, a bogo coffee coupon and a free oatmeal with mocha purchase. I had neighbors I picked a bunch of them from the post office tables that people left behind and have been enjoying free coffee ever since!!!
I got that packet too 🙂 I am down to my last Free Oatmeal coupon. I used just about everyone in there. The BOGO Free 10 piece chicken nugget made for a great meal for the family since we dont do the fry thing.
My husband and I got two – they were attached to our to go bags. I almost didn’t notice it but that big FREE word snatches my attention every time.
I tried the oatmeal today-it was good but I’m not a fruit in oatmeal person-the apples were tart-so I’m back to their bagels.
Got 2 coupons tonight in my “plasticware”!
I love, love, love this oatmeal. Haven’t gotten a coupon yet. I found it funny the other day when I was standing in the grocery aisle debating on whether or not to pay .99 for 12 packet box of Quaker Instant Oatmeal, wondering if that was the best deal around. Then, I proceeded to drive through the drive thru at Mc D’s and paid 1.99 for one bowl of oatmeal without batting an eye! It is really good though and I love the fact that they serve it at all times of the day, so if I get a snack-attack while out, I can get a healthy meal for less than 2 dollars!
I would love oatmeal with fruit but dont like maple flavoring in any food. I wish they would offer it without flavoring as well.
I got this coupon early in the week and will definately use it! It is a good healthy breakfast compared to other options!
Yes, it may be free – but have you looked at the “nutritional value” – 57grams of carbs!!!
While free, we opted for our at home healthier version! 🙂
I did like it, the fruit was fresh and plentiful but the container was only half full! For $2 I’d expect a little bit more than that.
The oatmeal is actually really good!
I LOVE the oatmeal. It and their fruit and yogurt parfait are the only fast food breakfasts I will eat. The oatmeal is so, so good. The fruit tastes fresh and the oats are much better than what you can make from a packet. I eat Quaker oatmeal every day during the week, but on Sunday, on the way to church we always stop and get breakfast and the oatmeal is my new fave. Can’t wait to see if I get the coupon tomorrow morning. 🙂
I tried this oatmeal today after seeing an ad on TV.I never knew they had this. It was delicious. Now I can order breakfrast with my coffee and not have to worry about eating something with 500 calories and a lot of fat. They really should advertise this more, as anyone interested in a quick convienient breakfrast that is healthy too, would love it.
i got the coupon too! can’t wait to try!
