If you walk into a McDonald’s restaurant right now and order off the McDonald’s menu, you might end up paying more or ordering more than what you originally intended. But if you order online and use the McDonald’s app, you can find some surprisingly good deals and promotions to help you save money.
Where to Find the Best McDonald’s Deals
Hands down, the app is where you can find the best McDonald’s deals. Each week, they have a variety of new offers with some recurring consistently. For example, every Wednesday features a “buy one Happy Meal, get one free” deal, or the popular “Free Fries Friday.” Throughout the week, you can also find deals like “buy one sandwich, get another for a $1,” “$2 off an order of $10 or more,” “$1 off an order of $7,” and “$2 off $10,” and so on. For coffee enthusiasts, there’s a particularly enticing offer which is available in some locations which is the “$0.99 Coffee.”

To use a deal from the McDonald’s app, select your preferred offer from the deals page and add it to your order. With the Mobile Order and Pay feature on the app, you can purchase your favorite items and choose Curbside or Drive Thru pickup. Remember, you can only redeem one deal per person every 60 minutes.

Only good deal there is the $0.99 coffee. I use it a lot in airports where it’s typically $3.50+ for an iced coffee.

The only deal I use now is the $2 breakfast sandwich on Saturdays and I split with my dog after we go to the park. Otherwise, we have McDonalds at home lol

The best deal is still there. Free fry with 2$ purchase. McChicken and medium fry for 2$ is a steal. You couldn’t get that 10 years ago.

Haven’t been there in a couple months (I’m dieting), but a quick check of the deals show that they aren’t too bad…
- $4.99 for a double cheeseburger, 4 McNuggets, small fries, and small soft drink — one of my favorites because it isn’t too big of a meal
- $6.59 for a combo meal — up 59 cents from earlier this year
- 25% off of purchase over $5
- $1 medium fries
- BOGO Double Cheeseburger or 6 piece McNuggets
- BOGO Quarter Pounder with Cheese, Big Mac, or 10 piece McNuggets
