McDonald’s Reinforces Commitment to Affordable Meals with Extended Deals and Exclusive App Promotions
McDonald’s is embracing the spirit of giving this season by maintaining its affordable prices through the end of the year.
As the year concludes, McDonald’s aims to keep savings at the forefront for its customers.

For $5, customers can choose a McDouble or McChicken Sandwich, small fries, four Chicken McNuggets, and a small soft drink.
Joe Erlinger, President of McDonald’s USA, expressed the brand’s dedication to providing quality meals at affordable prices. After witnessing millions enjoy the $5 Meal Deal last summer, Erlinger noted that the decision to extend this deal underscores McDonald’s commitment to fair pricing.
Beyond the $5 Meal Deal, McDonald’s offers additional promotions through its app, including exclusive deals such as:
- 10-piece Chicken McNuggets for $1 – Available from November 1 through December 2, 2024, redeemable once per week.
- Free Fries Friday – A fan-favorite promotion allowing users to claim free medium fries with a $1 minimum purchase every Friday until year’s end.
Regional offers are also available:
- Southern California – Customers can mix and match two items for $3.99, including the Sausage or Chicken griddle, Sausage Biscuit, or any size Iced Coffee.
- Dallas – A 20-piece Chicken McNuggets for $5, ideal for sharing.
