Free McSkillet Burritos This Thursday and Friday

A few months ago, I saw a sign outside of a McDonald's that said "Now Serving the McSkillet Burrito." When I read it I had to chuckle a little bit, this was near San Francisco's Mission District, an area known for its burritos. At the time, the McSkillet wasn't nationally available, and I wondered if it was just something that franchise was trying to compete with the local market. I wondered what they tasted like, but wasn't curious enough to go try one.

Well, now I've got a chance to do it for free. And if you're also curious about what the now nationally-available burrito tastes like, you'll be able to do it for free, too. This Thursday and Friday (Feb. 28 and 29) McDonald's is giving away free McSkillet Burritos with purchase of a medium or large drink. They are expecting to give away 1 million burritos each day, but you better remember early, it's available during breakfast hours only.

So will you be headed to McD's for your free McSkillet?

    Um NO. I can (and do!) make a much tastier (I'm guessing) and healthier breakfast burrito at home almost weekly. I grew up on Breakfast Burritos so this actually is rather disturbing to me to see.

    i heard about this on TV or something the other day. it's definitely a good marketing ploy since i think that it's worked for other QSR vendors. if they had a vegetarian version (not just hold the meat) then i might seek out a McDs but there really aren't too many around where i live in NYC so maybe it's a good thing

    Oh goddess no! I'd never eat one even if free. Plus if your in SF mission district you gotta go to Pancho Villas! Makes me hungry just thinking of it wishing I still lived up there.

    Free is free. I'd go get it and if I didn't like it, throw it away. But I'm a fan of burritos, so I think I might like it.

    I was curious and tried one of these a little while ago. It's not horribly horrible. It's actually pretty good, for McDonalds. But, it is McDonalds.

    A lot of people loved the breakfast sandwiches they served at Starbucks, but most people find McDonald's breakfast burritos disgusting? I don't see a big difference...

    "good for the poor."--Terrible statement btw!

    I don't know if I want to try one, but who knows. I may just gander on the McD on Friday. We will see.

    um, I'd like to get a free breakfast even though I really don't like burritos, but I don't know that I'd be able to get up that early in the morning. And anyways, they're giving out free Chicken McNuggets on Thursday all day! Smiling

    610+ calories of pure nastiness. I'm a vegetarian anyway, but this is the grossest thing I have heard of in a while.

    I boycot McD's though so even if this was tofu and healthy... not a chance.

    I think I might give it a try. Why not, it's free, so if it sucks I haven't lost anything. Yeah what is CFA? Is that true about the chicken nuggets??? If so I am so down for that.

    CFA is Chick-fil-a, best fast food restaurant here in the south, IMO.

    Looked it up (CFA) and the only one we have in Minnesota is on the U of M campus. A little out of the way for their free breakfast, but I just may have to check it out when I'm in the area for something a little different!

    Paine, if you google their website, you can punch in your zip code and see if there is one in your neck of the woods.

    I got mine this morning. I know I could make a better one right in my own kitchen, though.
