Ordering stuff without a side at Counter Service

[Club Cooloholic]

I was curious, does anyone know how much you save by not ordering fries or apple slices with certain things like a hamburger or hot dog? Can you do this at every place, and if not how can I found out if the place does it? I was thinking of doing it at Maybe the Launching Pad or Casey's but I really do not not eat fries with lunch if I can avoid it.

I haven't ever saved money. I asked if it was cheaper without a side and they said no.

I have ordered just a sandwich and had fries show up. I think you have to be very clear about the NO FRIES thing. it wasn't a big whup...it's just easier to not eat them when they aren't sitting there begging to be eaten.

I don't know if you can save money skipping the fries/grapes, but I doubt it. I won't even get started on how much they charge for grapes at WDW. It is a bone I'd like to pick with them one day.

See on various website I have read this over and over again
"Order a la carte. Menus typically list “combo” prices. If you don’t want fries (or a side), order just the entree to save."

Maybe you can. I'll ask next time I'm in a park...which will be tomorrow IF I'm having a good day. Never know what kind of day it will be, though!

That would be awesome!

I've always requested that they remove the bag of potato chips from any QS meal I order. They subtract $1.50 from the bill. Last time I ordered the specialty hot dogs in DHS I had to argue with the CM for a while, because she couldn't find any button on screen to do it. A Manager/Supervisor came over and showed her how to do it.

Good thing there was nobody behind me in line...

I find the kid's menu choices are a good portion size for either one of us- and we are both tall. We usually choose the grapes & one other side choice(i.e. carrots). Even if you do indulge in fries with the kid's meal, it's a small portion.

OK, I asked. Just for you.

YES, you can save by getting your sandwich, burger, hot dog (whatever) without the fries/grapes. I asked how much I'd save and she said, "about two dollars." I wanted the grapes, though, and ponied up the $2 for the tiny bag. One was all smooshy and icky, so I considered asking for a dime back.

That would be fifteen cents, I know they can't fit more than 10 - 15 in those little tiny bags, you cracked me up, thanks!

Thanks Luv, that really good to know, I might skip fries here and there!
