Famed money-saver Queenie Tan, who goes by @investwithqueenie, shared her small "nugget of wisdom", advising customers to swap their nuggets, drink and fries combo for a Happy Meal nuggets order instead.

She revealed how the switch can save customers $2, dropping the meal from a $10.30 order to an $8.30 one.

Impersonating a customer in the video, Queenie began: "Can I get a six-piece chicken nugget meal with a diet coke?"

Dressed up as a fast-food worker, Queenie revealed that the meal would cost $10.30.

She then dressed up as a different character and posed the question: "Why don't you ask for a chicken nuggets Happy Meal instead? It's the same thing but $2 cheaper. And you can ask them to keep the toy if you don't want it."

As the ordering customer, she then changes her order to a chicken nuggets Happy Meal with fries and a diet coke, which drops down to $8.30.
