McDonald’s Shamrock Shake Price & Availability

March 14, 2025

As expected, McDonald’s has brought back their ever-popular Shamrock Shake for St. Patrick’s Day. For 2025, the Shamrock Shake celebrates it’s 55th Anniversary! This minty masterpiece returned to restaurants on Monday, February 10.

As in previous years, it comes in 3 sizes: small, medium, and large. Unfortunately, inflation has hit the Shamrock Shake again this year: large shakes now go for around $5 in most markets. Price increases for 2025 are slightly more than last year. The cost of all sizes varies by market. At my local McDonald’s, pricing is as follows:

– Small Shamrock Shake $3.19 (was $2.89 in 2024, $2.59 in 2023)
– Medium Shamrock Shake $4.19 (was $3.99 in 2024, $3.89 in 2023)
– Large Shamrock Shake $4.99 (was $4.59 in 2024, $4.29 in 2023)

How long will McDonald’s Shamrock Shake be available? At least through St. Patrick’s Day and probably through the end of March. In past years, last call occurred around Easter Sunday. This is the same time the Filet-O-Fish Lent promotions end. If you really want to do it up right, get to McDonald’s for a Filet-O-Fish Friday, paired with a Shamrock Shake! Most McDonald’s restaurants will be open holiday hours on Easter Sunday, April 20.

Is The Mall of America Tax Free?

March 14, 2025

UPDATE: AS OF OCTOBER 1, 2023, SALES TAX RATE HAS INCREASED 1% AT MALL OF AMERICA. TOTAL COMBINED TAX RATE IS NOW 8.525%!

I get asked this question all the time. Many people believe the Mall of America in Bloomington, Minnesota (suburban Minneapolis/St. Paul) offers tax-free shopping at stores and restaurants. The short answer is “no.”

Sales at the Mall of America are subject to a sales tax rate of 8.525%. This breaks down as follows: 6.875% Minnesota state sales tax, 1.00% metro transit sales tax (up from .25%), new .25% “affordable housing” tax, and .40% Hennepin County sales tax which funds the Minnesota Twins stadium and Target Field. In addition, alcoholic beverages are subject to an additional 5.5% tax: 2.5% additional Minnesota state sales tax on liquor, plus a 3% “drink tax” which is levied by the City of Bloomington.

The myth about the Mall of America being tax-free likely stems from the fact that sales of clothing and footwear are exempt from all state and local sales taxes. This is true everywhere in Minnesota, not just at MOA. There is no dollar limit on this exemption: a $2 pair of socks and a $1,000 custom tailored suit are both free of tax. Since all surrounding states and Canadian provinces tax both clothes and shoes, the Mall of America becomes an attractive regional shopping destination. This is especially true during July and August for back to school shopping, then again in November and December for Christmas and holiday shopping.

Groceries are also exempt from sales tax in Minnesota. This can get tricky, however. Candy and soda pop are taxed, as are all restaurant meals. Legally, the tax applies to “prepared” foods. So, if you buy a frozen burrito from a convenience store, it is not taxed. But if you heat it up in the microwave before leaving the store, it is then “prepared” and thus subject to sales tax. Candy is taxed while cookies are not. Here’s my favorite: if you buy vegetables in a grocery store, they are not taxed. But if you purchase those same vegetables from the store’s salad bar and use them to make yourself a salad, it is then considered “prepared food” and subject to sales tax. Confused? Me too!

Back to tax free shopping at the Mall of America: the general rule to remember is that clothes and shoes are not taxed. Everything else is. Have a great time and enjoy your Twin Cities shopping vacation!

Wild-caught Alaskan Pollock, crispy-fried to golden-brown perfection. Topped off with tartar sauce and shredded lettuce, served on a sesame seed bun.

The Crispy Fish Sandwich is now part of Arby’s 2/$6.99 Surf & Turf Menu, along with Arby’s Beef ‘n Cheddar. Current menu price in my area is $5.19 Fish ‘n Cheddar, $4.89 Crispy Fish, and $5.39 Beef ‘n Cheddar. Needless to say, this is a great deal.

50% Off Half Price Valentine’s Day Candy Discounts

March 14, 2025

There are 4 times per year to buy candy: immediately after Valentine’s Day, Easter Sunday, Halloween, and Christmas. Hershey, Nestle, Mars, and Wonka all create special holiday candy assortments. Packaging makes it unique to each particular holiday. After the holiday, this candy cannot be sold at full price because the packaging is now outdated. It cannot be saved and resold the following year because it would become inedible long before then. This is why Valentine’s Day candy is discounted significantly, beginning on February 15.

After Valentine’s Day, candy discounts of 50% are common. Walmart, Target, Kmart, and Walgreens are good national sources. Target usually starts at 30%, but eventually gets to 50 and finally 70% in the final days. I’ve also found Kroger family stores to offer half price Halloween candy: Dillons, Fred Meyer, Fry’s Food Stores, QFC, Ralphs, Smith’s, Baker’s, City Market, Food 4 Less, Foods Co., Gerbes, Jay C Food Stores, King Soopers, Owen’s, and Pay Less Super Markets. If these retailers exist in your area, RiteAid, CVS Pharmacy, Cub Foods, A&P, Albertsons, Publix, Safeway/Von’s, Osco/Jewel, and Cashwise/Coborns are also worth a shot.

Be quick to take advantage of half price Valentine’s Day candy sales! The “good stuff” always sells out within a few days. Come early and you’ll find Reese’s Peanut Butter Hearts, Baby Ruths, Kit Kats, Twix, Snickers, and Milky Way for 50% off. Wait too long and there will be nothing left besides leftover cards and junk that nobody wants. February 15th is prime time for half price Valentine’s Day candy deals.
