Free mocha at McDs, and healthier fries reviewed

 

Discount alert: McDonald's continues to take aim at the Starbucks crowd, by promoting its McCafe concept with Free Mocha Mondays.

On Mondays through August 3, between 7am and 7pm get a free sample (7 oz. cold or 8 oz hot) of the Mocha -- an espresso with steamed milk, chocolate syrup, and whipped cream with a chocolate drizzle.

 
Speaking of McD's, the August 2009 issue of Consumer Reports magazine recently rated the new trans-fat-free fries at McDonalds, Burger King and Wendy's. Not only did CR confirm that there's no trans fats in the fries, they also said the taste is about the same as they did before -- McDonald's and Wendy's rated a "very good" and BK just a "good."
