FANS of iconic chicken spot Nando’s could save themselves up to £10 on their final bill if they order off a very particular part of the menu rarely ever used.
Money saving specialists have revealed that when scouring the Nando’s menu a good place to start is in the sharing platters section as you can order the exact same food as normal but save a lot of cash on it.
The fascinating advice comes from Martin Lewis’ MoneySavingExpert who spotted that as long as there is more than two people feeling peckish the deals can come in handy.
Some of the biggest savers will be families or larger groups as the more food you want the bigger the discounts are in the sharing section.
For the biggest savings look to buy Nando’s largest and most expensive offering the Family Platter.
It’ll cost you £55 as part of the sharing offer but you’ll be able to feed up to six people with the two whole chickens and five large sides.
If you were to order that massive amount of food on its own then it’ll be £31.90 for the chicken and £32.50 for the sides meaning you’ll have to find £64.40 – a whole £9.40 more.
And what makes it an even more delicious sounding meal is that the chicken comes already split up into even quarters meaning each person could have some chicken and a side to themselves.
Taking the amount per head in a group of five diners just £11 – far cheaper than most other meals on the menu.
There are three other money saving options available if you use this trick for smaller groups.
One includes a 15 wing extravaganza as a third is all about easy to eat boneless chicken.
Another great Nando’s related money saving tip is to try and cook up the Portuguese cuisine at home.
All major supermarkets sell a range of Nando’s products from seasoning packets and jars, marinating kits and even the regular beloved sauces.
Meaning creating the ultimate chicken feast can be done at home for a slashed down price but still taste like the ultimate cheeky Nando’s.
