Custom Order: Wendy's Bacon Queso Baked Potato

Wendy's Bacon Queso Baked Potato isn't on the menu but it's something you can custom order while they still have queso available. Just ask for a Bacon & Cheese Baked Potato with the queso subbed in for the cheese.

Here's how you can order each drink for reference:

Secret Menu: Taco Bell - Country Gravy Waffle Taco

Taco Bell is one of those places who will pretty much make whatever you want given the ingredients on hand, so I had them make me a Waffle Taco with the new Country Gravy.

It ended up costing me 30 cents extra for the gravy for a total of $2.29. They offered me syrup on the side, but I declined. I also nixed the cheese.

Secret Menu: Starbucks - Butterbeer Frappuccino

Starbucks' secret menu Butterbeer Frappuccino is meant to mimic the Butterbeer drink mentioned in the Harry Potter book series. The same drink that is currently only available at The Wizarding World of Harry Potter in Orlando, Florida.

I bought a 16-oz Grande for $4.85. Here's how you can too:

Secret Menu: In-N-Out - Whole Grilled Onions and Extra Toasted Bun

A few of the options you can get at In-N-Out include getting a whole slice of onion grilled ("WhGR") and getting your bun extra toasted ("X toast").

I don't believe a lot of people know about it so I decided to try both on a Double Double (I also went with no tomato). There's no added charge for either option

Review: Starbucks - Pumpkin Spice Steamer

I suppose you can consider this a Starbucks "secret menu" item: you can get a non-caffeinated Pumpkin Spice Latte by ordering a Pumpkin Spice Steamer, which is the same drink, only without the espresso.

They charged me $2.75 for a 12-oz Tall-sized cup (that's at least $1 less than the PSL at most locations).

Custom Order - Poor Man's Big Mac AKA McDouble Mac

If you're pressed for cash at McDonald's but still want some of that Big Mac flavor, you can always custom order the Poor Man's Big Mac AKA McDouble Mac. The burger is more or less a McDouble with lettuce, onions, pickles, and Mac sauce added.

The price for me was $1.29 plus a 30 cents upcharge for the lettuce, but I've read of people being charged for Mac sauce and not lettuce before so whether there is an upcharge can vary.

Custom Order: Starbucks - Chocolate Strawberry Frappuccino

I decided a Chocolate Strawberry Frappuccino from Starbucks sounded like a good idea and ordered a Grande Strawberry and Creme Frappuccino with two pumps of mocha sauce.

The price came out to $4.25 (down to $2.12 with the Happy Hour promo), which is the standard price for a Grande Strawberry and Creme Frappuccino. I think they usually charge for the extra sauce, but I'm not sure.

Custom Order: Wendy's - Hot Chili Seasoning with Fries

Wendy's Hot Chili Seasoning is a non-commonly-known sauce they offer to add a bit of heat and depth to their chili. Since chili goes well over a baked potato, I decided to try Hot Chili Seasoning over Wendy's French fries (I know my logic is astounding).

The sauce is free, you just have to know to ask for it.

Review: In-N-Out - Cheeseburger McDonald's Style

Since you can have them make your burger any way you like at In-N-Out, I decided to try an In-N-Out take on an old classic, the McDonald's Cheeseburger. I call it the In-N-Out Cheeseburger McDonald's Style.

It's the same price as a regular Cheeseburger at $2.15.
