We all have our vices: Monopoly at McDonald’s

by Evolution Of Wealth on November 7, 2009

In Sunday Link Rodeo 3 I openly admitted about a vice of mine, I love Monopoly at McDonald’s.  Every year I collect Monopoly pieces and try to win something.  I never win anything good usually just some free food.  I guess you could say I win because of all the calories and fat I get to eat, right?  Actually I don’t think I do too bad with eating there.  Truth is I get my fill of McDonald’s by like my third time going.  Then I just go for the game pieces.  Make sure to check out How To Win McDonald’s Monopoly Game from @bargainr.

My Totals

4 Baltic Ave 1 St. James Place 4 Pacific Ave
0 New York Ave 5 North Carolina Ave
6 Oriental Ave
2 Connecticut Ave 5 Indiana Ave 3 Reading Railroad
4 Illinois Ave 5 Pennsylvania Railroad
4 St. Charles Place 2 B&O Railroad
1 States Ave 4 Atlantic Ave
1 Marvin Gardens 5 Park Place

Total game pieces: 56

Financially

I went to McDonald’s for lunch 4 times and dragged my girlfriend along twice.  I also grabbed breakfast 4 times.  Lunch was always a value meal mostly being the new Angus meals because you get the most game pieces (6).  For breakfast I would just get 2 hash browns which would give me 4 game pieces.  I was also lucky enough to 6 game pieces given to me.  I would estimate that lunches ran about $7.37 and breakfasts were about $2.1o.  In total I spent around $53.

I thought I went more than this.  It seemed like it.  I just get sick of McDonald’s food.  Once in a while I want it but as soon as I have some I have no desire to have more anytime soon.

Winnings

None.  Big fat zero.  I didn’t get any of the good pieces but even worse, I didn’t win any free food.  I was amazed that I didn’t.  I’m guessing they didn’t do this part of the game this year.  It baffles me that they didn’t give out the free food.  I would think that from a business standpoint a free small fry or breakfast sandwich would bring in more money by getting people to visit McDonald’s when they otherwise wouldn’t.  Either that or they are likely to buy something to go with their free food.

There’s always next year.
