Ordering tips: how to find the best deals and accurate menu board prices
Finding the best value at Dairy Queen is easy. Just use the official tools and compare before you order. A little planning and the right app can save you money.
Start with the Dairy Queen app and local store pages. The app lists current items, local add-ons, and up-to-date prices for your store. But, menu boards can differ by location. So, always check the app for exact prices.
Third-party delivery platforms are convenient but may cost more. Grubhub, DoorDash, and Uber Eats might list higher prices and add fees. Compare prices with in-store pickup or the app to save money.
Here are some tips before you order:
- Open the dairy queen app to view local promotions and accurate prices.
- Compare total cost on a delivery app, including fees, to the app pickup price.
- Look for weekday specials and limited-time bundles that reduce cost per item.
- Check family meal deals for quantity savings when feeding a group.
Timing affects price and availability. Weekday specials are cheaper during slower hours. Limited-time Blizzard drops may come with bundle pricing or coupons in the dairy queen app. Loyalty offers can cut costs on repeat visits.
