There's one McValue deal that's better than the rest!
This Is the Best Deal on the New McDonald’s McValue Menu
Published on Jan. 14, 2025
In recent years, inflation has played a major role in price hikes at fast-food restaurants and grocery stores. Like there are ways to save at the grocery store, there are ways to score deals at fast-food chains, too. Even as inflation began to cool in 2024, some restaurants launched deals to win over customers.
The new McDonald’s McValue menu is a great example of this type of marketing—and many budget-conscious fans of the Golden Arches love the change.
What is the best deal?
Arguably, the best deal on the new McValue menu is the $5 Meal Deal. This meal was so popular in 2024 that McDonald’s extended its run through next summer.
The $5 Meal Deal comes with four menu items:
- Your choice of a McChicken or McDouble sandwich
- 4-piece Chicken McNuggets
- Small fries
- Small soft drink
That’s four things for only $5! Hard to beat that offer.
What else is on the McValue menu?
Yes, the $5 Meal Deal is the best deal, but there are several honorable mentions on the McValue menu. I like the “Buy One, Add One for $1” deal. You buy one full-priced menu item from the McValue menu and add one more item for $1. This deal is good during breakfast service and for the rest of the day.
Breakfast:
- Sausage biscuit
- Sausage McMuffin
- Sausage burrito
- Hash brown
Lunch or Dinner:
- McChicken
- Double cheeseburger
- 6-Piece Chicken McNuggets
- Small fries
McDonald’s also has plenty of other deals if you use the McDonald’s app. Look out for a free McCrispy Chicken sandwich for new app users and 10-piece Chicken McNuggets for $1.
If you’re looking for other ways to save, check out the McDonald’s secret menu. Instead of a Big Mac, order a McDouble with special sauce (that’s the Big Mac Sauce), extra lettuce and no ketchup. You’ll save about $1.50 by doing that, depending on your location.
How long will it be available?
The new McValue menu launched on January 7, 2025. McDonald’s promises that the $5 Meal Deal will be available at least through the summer of 2025.
