Growing canes may be famous for their simple yet delicious chicken finger meals, but without being careful, the bill can sum up quickly. Of course, you could get a combo meal or use promotions from time to time, but what if you could hack the system and save more? There are many ready-to-use ways to save money to raise canes.
Secret “Cole Slow Swap” Hack
Most people don’t realize that if it’s your jam, you can exchange coleslaw for extra toast, fries, or extra sauce.
If you hate Coleslaw and end up throwing it away, this is a great way to get more bangs for your money.
Skip drinks to get a complimentary water cup.
Raising the cane will provide you with a free water cup, but here’s a twist. If you get a big water cup and fill it with ice, it’s basically the same as a small soda once it melts.
Bring a flavour packet from your home or grab a complimentary lemon wedge and taste it like lemonade.
Pro Hack: Free Tea Refill
If you have a self-service soda machine in your place, ask for water first and then politely for tea refills. In some places, you can refill your water cup tea once.

Buy toast and ask for extra sauce
A sneaky way to get the taste of raising canes without a high price is to order Texas Toast and cane sauce instead of a complete meal.
If you need more, you can double your order and spend less than a box combo.
The toast is surprisingly packed, and the sauce gives its distinctive flavor.
You can also exchange Texas toast with buttered toasted rolls at any time, just like those used in sandwiches.
Pro Tip: Always get a very fresh meal
For a fresh meal, I always order extra crunch chicken and fries with a cane. Even if you’re not a fan of extra crispness, it’s slightly crisp, but much fresher.
It ensures you get your chicken and fries quickly from the stir fry and pip it hot.
To increase your lemonade, use the “no ice” trick
Lemonade on the cane is legendary, but they load it with ice and cut down any actual liquid you get.
Chill your drinks at home later, seeking “no ice.” Almost double the lemonade for the same price.
Pro Tip: Split the drink
If you’re ordering multiple meals, get a larger lemonade rather than an individual small lemonade. Often, it’s much cheaper per ounce.
Birthday Hack for a Prize (even if it’s not your birthday)
Keeping a cane does not have public birthday gifts, but many places will give you a free toast, sauce, or bid if you mention your birthday.
If you’re polite and friendly, you might get a prize even if it’s close to your birthday.
Pro Hack: Canic Combo is your friend
When ordering two people for you and your spouse, consider ordering a Caniac Combo ($18.69) and you’ll get 6 chicken fingers, fries, Texas Toast, Coleslaw and a 32 oz drink.
This is a huge meal that can be easily split up and much cheaper than ordering a two-finger combo meal ($11.79 each). Only one drink can be split. Alternatively, you can drink free water.
Use receipts for prizes later
Always check your receipt. You may raise a cane print survey code that allows you to get free items (such as toast or additional sauces) on your next visit.
Even if it is not on your receipt, ask the cashier if there are any current promotions or inquiries.
In some locations, multiple surveys can be performed per month. This means you can continue to win prizes with each visit.
Pro Hack: Make your own sauce at home
According to a fired cane employee, here is the recipe for their sauce:
1/2 cup 1/4 cup mayonnaise 1/2 cup ketchup 1/2 garlic salt 1/4 tsp 1/4 tsp Worcestershire sauce

Source stash trick for the rest of the wand
Instead of purchasing extra cane sauce, ask for extra cane and save it later.
The cane sauce lasts for a while in the fridge and can also be used in homemade bids, fries, or sandwiches to recreate the experience at home.
Pro Hack: Get the sauce after eating
If you are eating, you can order sauce after meals and take it home so it’s not open.
If you ask for extras before eating, they may charge you.
Join your local Facebook page “Buy Nothing” or Freebie Group
Believe it or not, some people offer free wand gift cards and discounts that they don’t plan to use.
Check out our Facebook Group, NextDoor, or Community Forum for gifts or discounted gift cards.
People often want to raise cane gift cards from fundraising and promotions and trade or hand them out.
Also, if you know someone who works in cane care, ask if there are free or discounted foods.
Pro Tip: Make sure you eat less
Who doesn’t want more food for less money? This hack comes from an employee who is also a family friend.
To achieve that, you want to start by ordering a sandwich combo, but you’ll need to swap the Texas Toast roll (get two slices of toast).
Next, skip the lettuce and ask for the sauce side. This way you get everything in a 3-finger combo, everything including free toast, all at a low price. beautiful!

Order a tailgate box for cheaper group meals
Instead of ordering individual meals, if you are feeding multiple people, go to the tailgate box.
It contains 25, 50, 75 or 100 chicken fingers along with cane sauce.
Pro Tip: Bring your own drink
When feeding large groups, instead of buying drinks there, buy a gallon of tea or lemonade (which is much cheaper per ounce than buying multiple drinks).
Bring your own cups and ice to save more.

Pro Tips: Find a deal
Keep an eye out for limited time promotions, especially for major events such as the football season, the grand opening and National Chicken Finger Day (July 27th).
Ask about student, military or local discounts
Cane locations have discounts for students, military, or first responders (usually 10% off).
It’s not an official national policy, but asking never hurts.
Pro Tip: Get your ID out
Display your student ID, military ID, or work badge on your register and politely ask if the discount applies.
Use the cashback app and discount gift cards
Cashback apps such as Fetch, Rakuten, and Ibotta may offer restaurant rewards, such as raising canes.
Also, sites like CardCash sell discount cane gift cards at low prices.
Order your kids’ meals for cheaper combos
Are you very hungry? Order your child’s meals. It has two fried doughers, toast and drinks ($8.19 for a local cane), which is considerably lower than the standard combo.
This is a great option for snacks that still want a full meal without overpayment.
Check out our local fundraisers and promotions
Cane regularly partners with schools, sports teams and charities to provide fundraising evenings where some of the sales become a cause.
Sometimes they even hand out bogos (buy one and get one free) for event participants.
If your local school or team is running a fundraiser, stop by to support them and take advantage of special promotions.
