Spur Monday Special: The Burger Deal Explained and How to Make It Count

Quick answer: Spur's own website lists a Monday Burger Special in which you buy one burger and get a free original Spur burger, and branch pages such as one at Sun City describe a long-running "buy one get one free" burger Monday. Because Spur restaurants are franchised, terms can differ by branch, so confirm the details, exclusions and times with your restaurant before you go.

How a buy-one-get-one burger deal works

1. You order one qualifying burger at the menu price.
2. You receive a second burger, in this case an original Spur burger, free.
3. The free item is usually the lower-priced or the original burger, not an upgraded premium option.
4. Sides and drinks are charged separately.

Read the terms on the menu or ask your waiter: the deal may exclude certain burgers, public holidays or takeaway orders at some restaurants.

Is it really cheaper?

The arithmetic is simple. Using invented numbers, if a burger costs R110, two burgers cost R220 normally but R110 on the Monday deal, which is R55 each. Add chips and a drink and the saving shrinks as a share of the total bill, but it still helps. The deal is best when two people each want a burger. If you would rather cook at home this week, compare the latest Checkers catalogue, Pick n Pay catalogue and Take n Pay catalogue to see current supermarket specials in South Africa.

Scenario	Normal	Monday deal	Saving
Two burgers only (R110 each)	R220	R110	R110
Two burgers plus two drinks (R30 each)	R280	R170	R110
One diner alone	R110	R110 (extra burger to take home)	Leftover value
