A lot of people are complaining online about how expensive fast food has become. A McDonald’s location in Darien, Connecticut drew a lot of flak for their $18 Big Mac meal and people are complaining on TikTok about the $2 to $3 hash browns.
To win back their customers, fast food chains are going back to strategy they once left behind: Discounts. Burger King is bringing back a $5 meal. KFC has recently introduced value meals starting at $4.99. And later this month, McDonald’s is also going to roll out their much anticipated $5 Meal Deals.
Let’s talk about McDonald’s special promotions in this post.
$5 Meal Deals – The Latest McDonald’s Special Promotions
This $5 Meal Deal is a limited-time offer is slated to start on June 25 and will run for about a month. The value meal will include small fries, small drink and a McChicken or a McDouble (customer will get to choose). This deal may not be $5 across all McDo locations in the US, as some franchises may set their own prices and offers.
$1 $2 $3 Dollar Menu
You can get some inexpensive breakfast items from the McDonald’s $1 $2 $3 dollar menu. Unfortunately, only the drinks are under the dollar category, as everything else on this McDonald’s menu costs $2 to $3. But still a good price overall. Here are the options you can choose from:
Hash brown $2.39
Yep McDo’s hash browns are pricey now but can’t deny it, these are really good – crispy, hot and freshly made.
Sausage biscuit $2.68
I don’t like biscuits in general but the Sausage Biscuit at McDonald’s is good for the price.
Sausage Burrito $2.82
Imagine sausages crafted into tiny spheres and wrapped inside a burrito. This affordable, tasty option is perfect for jumpstarting your day with delicious flavors.
Sausage McMuffin $2.77
My absolute go-to breakfast at McDonald’s. McMuffins never disappoint, and the economical two-dollar Sausage McMuffin stands out as the best of them all.
McDonald’s Special Promotions Available Right Now
You can check out these current McDonald’s deals I’ve come across online. Keep in mind that availability may vary depending on your location.
McDonald’s 2 for $3 Mix-and-Match Breakfast
This breakfast deal allows you to mix and match two of your favorite breakfast items for just $3. Options include hash browns, Sausage Biscuit, Sausage McMuffin, Sausage Burrito, and more.
McDonald’s 2 For $4.69 Mix & Match
For $4.69, you can choose any two breakfast sandwiches from the following selection:
- Sausage, Egg & Cheese McGriddles
- Bacon, Egg & Cheese Biscuit
- Sausage McMuffin With Egg
This limited-time offer is only available at select McDonald’s locations nationwide.
Is the Buy 1 Get 1 for $1 at McDonald’s Still Available?
A few months ago, McDonald’s brought back its BOGO for $1 with options like:
- Big Mac
- 10-piece Chicken McNuggets
- Filet-O-Fish
- Quarter Pounder with Cheese
The promotion allows you to mix and match any 2 items, and you pay the regular price for the first item, and only $1 for the second one. Not sure where you can still get this offer as it’s not available in the McDonald’s near me. However, on Reddit, they still have the Buy 1 Get 1 for $1. One commenter even reported paying only $14 to feed his family of 5.
McDonald’s App Special Promotions
Earlier this month I saw a promo on the McDonald’s website for a free Big Mac when you download the McDo app and place an order with a $1 minimum. The deal was only available for first time users. This offer is gone now but there are still other deals to be had.
Free large Fries w/ $1 purchase
Get a free large fries for a $1 minimum order. All you have to do is download the McDonald’s app and make your first purchase of $1 or more to claim this offer. This offer is valid once per user through the last day of the month for first-time app users at participating McDonald’s locations.
Deal of the Day on the McDonald’s App
If you haven’t downloaded the McDonald’s app yet, you’re missing out on some great deals. The app often features daily breakfast deals, such as $1.50 for breakfast sandwiches like the Sausage McMuffin or McGriddles.
Also some Reddit users have reported discounts ranging from 15-50% off their entire order. Depending on your order size, these app deals can save you anywhere from $1 to $15.
Best Way to Find McDonald’s Special Promotions
Perhaps the single best way to find special deals and promotions from McDonald’s is to download the app and sign up for their rewards program. You can find discounts and offers in the Deals tab and at the same time accumulate points which you can exchange for free items at McDonald’s.
