When you're hungry in the 'ber months but short on cash, McDonald's is the place for you
It wasn’t long ago that fast-food restaurants and great value went hand in hand. When you needed an affordable meal, you went to McDonald’s. But over the years, prices have gone up everywhere—and even the Golden Arches has not been immune. However, McDonald’s still prides itself on delivering delicious deals that don’t break the bank, and not even inflation can prevent the beloved fast-food restaurant from giving customers big savings on their favorite menu items. This fall, McDonald’s is bringing back fan-favorite Extra Value Meals, and the prices are seriously unbeatable.

What are the new Extra Value Meals?
McDonald’s is celebrating the return of its Extra Value Meals by introducing two brand-new offerings. During breakfast hours, you can start your day with a $5 Sausage McMuffin with Egg meal, which includes hash browns and a small coffee. It’s practically impossible to find a breakfast option that delivers a better value! If you’re hungry for lunch or dinner, you’ll be able to fuel up with an $8 Big Mac meal that comes with a medium order of fresh, hot fries and a medium soft drink. Your wallet is going to be thrilled about these new-and-improved Extra Value Meals.
When will the Extra Value Meals be available?
Grab your car keys and head to your nearest McDonald’s—the new Extra Value Meals are available on the McDonald’s menu now. There’s no time like the present to save big on the meals you already know and love.
What other Extra Value Meals are expected this year?
McDonald’s is introducing additional Extra Value Meals in November, with options for every McDonald’s fan. For breakfast, you’ll be able to enjoy $5 Sausage, Egg & Cheese McGriddles, Egg McMuffins, and Bacon, Egg & Cheese Biscuit meals, each of which comes with a hash brown and small coffee. For lunch and dinner, you can score $8 McValue meals, centered around your choice of 10-piece Chicken McNuggets, a Quarter Pounder burger and McCrispy sandwich meals. Plus, each meal comes with medium fries and a medium soft drink.
What else does $5 get you at McDonald’s?
McDonald’s Extra Value Meals are just one way to score big savings at the Golden Arches. You can also take advantage of the $5 Meal Deal, which gives you the choice between a McDouble or McChicken sandwich, plus 4-piece chicken nuggets, a small order of fries, and a small drink for the mind-blowingly low price of $5. All you have to do is order it through the McDonald’s app.
Or for in-between meals or when you’re really hungry, you can pick up a Snack Wrap, which was recently brought out of retirement, for just $2.99, now through the end of 2025.
“From the $5 Meal Deal to McValue and now Extra Value Meals, we’re sending a clear message: We’re here for our customers,” said Joe Erlinger, president of McDonald’s USA, in a press release. “McDonald’s will always be a place where you can get the food you love at a price that fits your life.”
