Pierre's KFC Combo

Kentucky Fried Chicken

The 300 club strikes again as Pierre Tan teaches me his version of a KFC combo meal! If we are vigilant enough to analyze the so called value meals that our fast food establishments offer the public, we will realize that we end up actually paying more or paying certain amount for less.

I met Pierre in Gateway mall in Araneta Cubao one Friday afternoon. We were suppose to meet greg that night to hang out but Greg couldnt get off work until later that evening so we decided to grab dinner in the mall. We went to the food court and viewed our choices until he had a sudden desire for KFC chicken. He told me that he would show me his COMBO meal! I was curious as to what he meant by that and later on as he explained to me, I understood his concept of combo meal.

As of this blog there is a KFC fully loaded meal. The meal has a one piece chicken with rice, mushroom soup, mash potato, brownie and softdrinks for 130 pesos(around 4USD). He said that a Fully loaded meal is nothing but side dishes. He told me to order a 1 piece chicken meal which included softdrinks and rice for 75 pesos and a chicken fillet with garlic sauce with rice for only 50 pesos which totalls to 125pesos. I ended up with 2 chickens 2 rice and a drink for less the price of a fully loaded meal. If you order the 2 piece chicken meal I think its almost the same price as Pierre’s combo meal but you only get one rice. So in the end Pierre’s combo meal trumps the Fully Loaded meal and the 2 pc.Chicken meal in terms of price and value for your money.

We’re sure that there are a lot of people doing the same thing that we are doing. Analyzing for the best deal for you or trying to get value for your money is a discipline. Do not accept that special offer at first glance. Dont let advertisements and pictures fool you when you order fast food. Make the choice to get value for your money. From this practice we will learn to analyze a business opportunity the same way.
