McValue combines the most popular current McDonald’s deals, including the fan-favorite $5 Meal Deal, with a new offer, delivering even more wallet-friendly choices.

“As local small business owners, my fellow franchisees and I are always listening to what our customers want from their neighborhood McDonald’s,” said Cory Watson, a McDonald’s Owner and National Value Chair for 2025, in a press release. “No matter the city or the state, they’re telling us how important it is for them to find their favorite meals at affordable prices. And we couldn’t agree more. ”

Buy One, Add One for $1

The newest offer to McDonald’s menu is Buy One, Add One for $1—yep, it’s just as deliciously cheap as it sounds. To sink your teeth into this new deal, you simply have to buy a full-priced menu item from the McValue menu, and then you can add another item of your choice for just $1 more. There are options for breakfast, lunch and dinner too!

For breakfast, your choices are:

  • Sausage McMuffin
  • Sausage biscuit
  • Sausage burrito
  • Hash browns

And for lunch and dinner, your picks are:

$5 Meal Deal

While the $5 Meal Deal isn’t new to the McDonald’s menu, McDonald’s decided to extend its run. The offer, which includes some of the bestselling McDonald’s menu items, will now be available through next summer and will be included in the McValue platform. The $5 Meal Deal gives you the choice between a McDouble or McChicken sandwich, small fries, 4-piece chicken nuggets and a small drink for the insanely low price of just $5. Where else can you enjoy an entire meal for only $5?

“When it comes to value, we know there’s no one-size-fits-all. We’ve worked closely with our franchisees to create a new platform that will let our customers define value on their own terms,” said Joe Erlinger, president of McDonald’s USA, in a press release. “From deals on their personal go-to order to universal favorites like the $5 Meal Deal, we’re excited to give fans more ways to save every time they visit one of our restaurants.”

McDonald’s fans will still be able to use in-app offers and local deals just as they always have, and the McValue platform is just another way to save money on your favorite McDonald’s menu items.
