McDonald's Launches $5 Meal Deal

McDonald's has rolled out its $5 meal deal for a limited time at some restaurants across the US, the burger giant said, as fast-food chains ramp up cost-friendly options to boost spending among lower-income groups, Savyata Mishra reported for Reuters.

Restaurant Brands International-owned rival, Burger King, is also considering a $5 "Your Way deal" as companies turn to improved offers and promotions to counter inflation-hit customers increasingly opting to eat at home.

McDonald's value deal includes a McDouble or McChicken sandwich, small fries, four-piece Chicken McNuggets, and a small soft drink for $5.

McDouble meal options may be priced at $6 at certain restaurants in Alaska, California, Guam, Hawaii, Nevada, New York (Manhattan only), and Washington. McDonald's also brought back app-only "Free Fries Friday" which allows customers to snag a free medium fry with any $1 minimum purchase through the end of 2024.
