Clever Loopholes People Found That Ended Up Saving Them a Lot of Money

No matter how high-tech our world gets, there will always be people who figure out how to cheat the system. However, there’s no denying that finding loopholes was a bit easier back when everything was analog. This person found a way to score super-cheap McDonald’s coffee back when the company used stickers instead of a digital app.

McDonald’s used to have a redemption card program where six coffee stickers would get you a free 7th cup of coffee. Well, our storyteller didn’t want to go around spending all their hard-earned cash on coffee. They bought the redemption stickers off eBay, instead. The price they paid for the stickers came out to about five pence per “free” coffee cup. If you want to try a loophole, you have to do the math.
