McDonald’s is fighting back against inflation and rising food costs by introducing a $5 Meal Deal to give customers great value. This deal, available starting June 25, will include a choice of a McDouble or McChicken sandwich, small fry, four-piece nugget, and a small drink at select locations. App users can also enjoy exclusive deals, such as Free Fries Friday with a $1 minimum purchase. Additionally, specific locations are offering unique deals to cater to their local communities. While the $5 value menu has faced criticism from franchisees concerned about profit margins, McDonald’s remains committed to offering affordable options and creating memorable experiences for customers. As competitors like Wendy’s and Burger King also roll out their own value meal offerings, McDonald’s is focused on staying true to its reputation for providing quality food at prices that won’t break the bank.
