As food prices continue to rise and cheap fast food seems few and far between, it seems like a new meal deal is popping up every day. Wendy’s is offering a limited-time deal on the Spicy Chicken Sandwich, KFC dropped a discounted Meal for Two, and McDonald’s has debuted not only Free Fry Fridays and a $5 Meal Deal, but a new dollar deal for Chicken McNuggets as well. Now, McDonald’s customers will have even more to look forward to in the new year, as the company announced the launch of the new McValue menu with “Buy One, Add One for $1 deals” for some of its most popular items in 2025. And, if that’s not enough, The Golden Arches is also extending its $5 Meal Deal in addition to debuting the McValue menu..
What McDonald’s menu items are discounted as part of the McValue menu?
Starting January 7, McDonald’s is giving customers even more ways to enjoy the food they love, for less thanks to the Golden Arches’ highly anticipated new value platform, McValue, which is launching in restaurants across the country. On November 22, the chain announced that the $5 Meal Deal — which allows customers to get a McDouble or McChicken sandwich, small fries, 4-piece Chicken McNuggets and a small soft drink for just $5 — has been “extended through next summer and will now be part of the McValue platform.”
McDonald’s new “Buy One, Add One for $1” offer will allow customers to buy one full-priced menu item from the McValue menu, plus an additional item of their choice for $1. This offer also extends to McCafe’s breakfast menu items, including the Sausage Biscuit, Sausage Burrito, Sausage McMuffin, and hash browns, as well as regular McDonald’s menu items, such as the Double Cheeseburger, the McChicken, or the 6-piece Chicken McNuggets. Whether or not the new offer will include the McRib, which returns on December 3, is unclear.
The company also noted in the press release that customers should double-check pricing at their local McDonald’s, as “local deals and offers will vary” at each restaurant, and McDouble meal options may be priced at $6 at select locations.
What other McValue deals are offered at McDonald’s?
Other McValue deals include a localized special in which customers can buy two Sausage Egg McMuffins with an egg for $6 or get any size drink for $1. People who order food through the McDonald’s app will also be able to get a free large fries with a minimum $1 purchase and a 10-piece Chicken McNuggets for $1.
When can I buy the McDonald’s meal deal?
The new initiative will be available to customers starting January 7 and will continue through summer of 2025. Come January, you can visit any McDonald’s nationwide, or head over to the MyMcDonald’s app, to find the deal that works best for you with McValue. Talk about new year, new menu.
