“From deals on their personal go-to order to universal favourites like the $5 Meal Deal, we’re excited to give fans more ways to save every time they visit one of our restaurants.” 

The $5 Meal Deal has been a fan favourite and is now officially extended through the next summer as part of the McValue offerings.  

The deal offers a McDouble or McChicken sandwich, small fries, 4-piece Chicken McNuggets, and a small soft drink.

McDonald’s owner/operator Cory Watson stated: “As local small business owners, my fellow franchisees and I are always listening to what our customers want from their neighbourhood McDonald’s.  

“No matter the city or the state, they’re telling us how important it is for them to find their favourite meals at affordable prices. And we couldn’t agree more.” 

Watson added: “That’s why we’re committed to continuing to serve up great local deals – from special discount pricing on fan-favourite a-la-carte items to unique meal bundles, you can find great prices on iced coffees, soft drinks, cheeseburgers, chicken McNuggets and more. We have great value for everyone, whether you’re a party of one or feeding the whole family.” 

McDonald’s collaboration with franchisees ensures that local deals and app-exclusive offers remain.  

The chain is also refreshing its menu for 2025, with new options available on the MyMcDonald’s app and restaurants nationwide from 7 January.
