SINGAPORE: As the economy slides further, fast food joints McDonalds and KFC are offering discounts as a price war erupts and customers enjoy more than just happy meals.

Sales at one McDonalds outlet have gone up by 10 per cent, due to the new S$4.50 lunch special - which is about 20 to 30 per cent lower than the usual price.

The company said it will extend the offer until the year-end.

Colonel Sanders has jumped on the bandwagon too. The KFC outlets are selling one of their special meals at S$5.50, down from the normal S$8.20.

Singapore's largest foodcourt chain, Kopitiam also said it is offering a 10 per cent discount for those who get a savers card.

Kopitiam added that its business in shopping centres is down by five per cent but this has been offset by a five per cent increase in sales in the heartlands. - CNA/vm

I think Mcdonald shld offer a proper meal to customers - their burgers have shrinked in size progressively and they are now no larger than a postage stamp.

What is the point of reducing the price and reducing the portion - they think consumers are stupid or what.

Some more, its all full of fat and unhealthy stuff - all the more one shld keep healthy in such difficult times.

Giving discount to eat meat? What a sin...
