McDonald’s: After School Snack Coupon Booklets

by Tara Kuczykowski on August 17, 2009 · 42 comments

FREE McDonald's Apple Dippers
Pick up your McDonald's After School Snack coupon booklets at your local participating McDonald's location. Priced at just $1, these are filled with 12 FREE product coupons:

  • 3 FREE Baked Pies
  • 3 FREE Apple Juices or Milk Jugs
  • 3 FREE Small Cones
  • 3 FREE Apple Dippers or Small Fries

I'd recommend buying several booklets as these don't expire until 12/31/11!!!

Thanks, Coupon Cravings!

I've been to 2 McDonalds in the Austin, TX area and the employees have never heard of this booklet. My mom went to a Mcdonalds in LA and they don't have them either. Anyone find them in the Austin area??

WoW! I think we will head over there today! Maybe we will have that Angus Burger for dinner and get our FREE Med. fries & drink, we never eat at McDonalds...but I've heard good reviews about this burger.

I called corporate today and the person I spoke to had no clue. He spoke to his supervisor and he said it is probably a local thing. I am hoping we get it in South Florida but not holding my breath :( Please let me know if anyone in FL finds these.

Can't find the afterschool snacks booklets at all.

16 Jessica-MomForHim August 17, 2009 at 10:41 pm

Not in my area. :-( Anyone know how to find out where these are being sold? And if you buy them in one state, will other states accept them? Or are there limitations on the back?

Yes, if you buy them in one state, you can use them in another. I remember buying them in Maryland two years ago. I bought a dozen or more and used them in FL, VA, SC and NC. I believe the franchise operators get reimbursed by the corporate McDonalds, so I have never had a McDonalds refuse to honor them. I believe they put out these coupons four times a year, but most McDonalds only sell the Halloween ones. If you are lucky enough to find them stock up. They are great money savers.

My girlfriend works at Mc Donald's here in Riverside Ca. and she says these coupon booklet's come out at the end of September every year right before Halloween.

Has anyone found these incredible coupons in the New York/Connecticut area? Kids here don't go back to school for a few weeks--maybe they'll come out then?

LOL, you guys are not alone. I sent hubby to pick some up today, and he came home with (5) packs of $5 gift certificates for a total of $25. Sigh . . .

I got them two years ago in Aberdeen, Maryland. I am in VA now, there are none to be found here.

26 Jeannie August 19, 2009 at 10:17 pm

I have been to 3 different McDonalds here in a suburb of Dallas also and they too have never heard of them. Can you guys PLEASE post the region that you are finding these deals before I drive all over town looking for them? This has happened on more than one deal I have seen posted on this site.

27 Rachel August 22, 2009 at 11:12 am

I've looked all over Houston too--nothing. Maybe we'll get them in late September like everyone is saying. I'm going to use mine as incentives for my 5th graders! If they get all A's, I will draw names to see who gets the coupons! :)

It seems there's only a handful of stores scattered around the country with these books. If anyone can located these, PLEASE share where - I too have been looking for my students with no luck (and that major auction site is sickening)

Unfortunately, I have not found them in my area of South Florida either. Most places just look at me like I am making it up.

Not found in Las Vegas, looked at me as if I had 4 eyes, tried to tell me it was the Arch card.. I am going to call McDonalds tomorrow

38 Hillary September 8, 2009 at 10:34 pm

I contacted McDonald's they said that 80% are privately owned and it is the owner's decision about any promotions so they cannot tell you where to find the coupon books.

The Joliet Illinois Mc Donalds was giving them away with each Happy meal but I think they are out. As of yesterday, they were GIVING away the Halloween coupon sheets inside each happy meal along with the current toy. This is the one OUTSIDE of the Louis Joliet Mall on Plainfield Road. Enjoy!

My Mcdonalds sells these year round. For the past 6yrs I’ve boughten them. However they are $5. a book here in Michigan.

It includes 12 coupons. You have a ton of time to use them.. almost a good 2 1/2 years.
They expire 12/31/2013
-3 hamburgers
-3 milk jug or apple juice
-3 apple dipper or frys
-3 ice cream cones

I have acess to several. Please let me know if you are interested in having some shipped to you. I only charge for shipping and to remiburse what I paid to buy the book.

when other coupons come available with a longer expiration date I will offer those. Usally they give you 3yrs to use them. :)
