The best early October Prime Day deal is 200 free McDonald's chicken nuggets

This Amazon October Prime Day deal lets Grubhub+ members grab free McDonald's Chicken McNuggets until October 5. Here's how it works.

Wasn't it just Prime Day? Well, if you're having deal withdrawal, you're in luck: Amazon just announced Prime Day is returning for a second round on October 7 and 8. Hooray for you — there will be plenty of deals — but boo for me, as it means another 48 hours spent glued to my computer, losing touch with reality, as I sift through the junk to try to find you the very best Prime Day deals.

I'm still coming to terms with this turn of events (isn't one Prime Day enough, Amazon?). Helping with that is, IMO, the best early Prime Day deal out there: free McDonald's.

Yep, now through October 5, Prime members who use their free Grubhub+ benefit (one of the many perks of Prime) can claim a free 10-piece chicken McNugget meal once per day. By my estimation, if you play your cards right, you can net a total of 200 chicken McNuggets, 1,560 fries, and 3.2 gallons of soda.

Of course, there are stipulations. You'll need to add the 10-piece Chicken McNuggets Meal to a Grubhub+ order with a subtotal of at least $20. I've spent a lot of time thinking about this, and I think the way to truly maximize this perk is to place your order for pickup (no fees, no need to tip).

You'll also need to be a Prime member with an active Grubhub+ membership (free with your Prime membership). I know I've been giving you a lot of my opinions already, but I think the Grubhub+ membership is one of the very best Prime benefits. I use it multiple times weekly (don't judge), probably more than I actually use free 2-day Prime shipping.

If you're not already a Prime member, you can sign up for a free 30-day trial, which will allow you to shop the sale and get all the chicken nuggies your little heart desires.
