Burger King Bucks the Fall Frenzy Trend and Adds an Affordable Summery Frozen Drink

Other chains are rushing to bust out the pumpkin spice, but Burger King is all about hanging on to the last of summer. They've added a brand new frozen drink to their menu that will let you keep the taste of summer fresh, sweet, and with just a bit of tart.

Burger King is partnering with MTV and Paramount to promote its new Frozen Pink Lemonade, which was made available nationwide on Aug. 29.

This is the latest in the fast food wars to return customers to the drive-thru lines. Many have dropped the quick food option as prices skyrocketed.

Check out the different Burger King promotions available that can help you stretch your fast food budget so you can go out to eat more.

From now until Sept. 11, when the MTV Video Music Awards premiere, members of the Royal Perks loyalty program can receive a free small Frozen Pink Lemonade and any purchase of $1 or more in the Burger King app.

A small one regularly costs 1.99 (prices are subject to vary based on location), so that's a nice perk to add to any order.

Money tips that can work for everyone

No matter what your bank account balance is, there's always an opportunity to optimize and improve your finances. Here's a quick checklist of things you can look at today.

Focus on paying off your debt . Debt can hold you back from making progress with your overall financial well-being. Aside from cutting expenses, there are tools that can help you pay off debt faster like balance transfer credit cards and debt counseling.

Earning extra income can give you breathing room. If finances are tight, earning some extra money to supplement your income can make a huge difference. A new job is one option to consider, but if you're not ready to make a big change or already retired, a part-time side job could be a better choice.

Cut your expenses. It sounds painful and so not fun, but it doesn't have to be. Take a look at your biggest expenses because that's where you'll probably find the biggest savings. For example, auto insurance rates have been soaring so shopping around for a new insurance company can be the fastest way to cut your bill. Also, look for ways to cut your grocery bill (despite rising inflation).
