It's been a big few days....

The McDonalds Bag pyramid.


Apologies for a lack of a post over the weekend, it's been a busy time.

I've currently been to 15 McDonalds in the region and currently I have 72 stickers.

That's 18 Large Cheeseburger Meals since I started doing this, or 1.6 meals a day!

Strangely I haven't felt too bad. I had zero energy most days and was going to sleep really early, but I've started eating something 'normal' each day and that's helped.

I only have four more to go in the local area and then I'm going to have a bit of a break.

The reason is, I just keep getting the same tickets.

I'm of the belief that McDonalds haven't actually put all the tickets out there yet.

I'm pretty much one off most prizes. I've done some research and noticed that everyone on Ebay, where there is a thriving industry of people selling stickers, no one has any that I need and they all seem to be in a similar position to me.

It would make sense for McDonalds to hold the big stickers until the end of the competition, so that people continue to purchase.

I also found out that the winner of the Jeep was actually an Instant Win and not someone who collected all three corresponding tickets.

A young girl simply pulled the winning sticker off a large fries! Good on her.

This shows me two things. A) This game is just pure luck and B) The final ticket needed to make three of a kind are not in circulation yet.

I mentioned in an earlier post that I've found Cheeseburger Meals have been priced differently at each McDonalds.

I found two yesterday where it's $6 and I've paid anywhere from $5.60 to $6. Sometimes there's a price difference of 40c between McDonalds outlets that are less than a mile away.

Yesterday I visited two McDonalds and I walked between the two. Using an application on my Iphone I measured it was 857m between them. Crazy! Talk about saturation.

Here's a recap of how I'm doing so far....
