It's official: McDonald's is extending its $5 deal so you can enjoy a full meal for just a few bucks.
According to CNBC, franchise owners voted to extend the $5 Value Meal in about 80% of local markets. The deal will now stay in place into December. However, this isn't the only deal that consumers can find at McDonald's. As CNBC added, restaurants will be offering more local deals and promotions throughout the fall, as well as even more discounts to come on the McDonald's app.
In June, McDonald's announced the addition of the $5 Meal Deal as a way to entice inflation-wary consumers to come back into its stores to splurge on a burger and sides.
Here’s How Fast Food and Fast Casual Restaurants Are Future-Proofing Their Businesses "We heard our fans loud and clear – they're looking for even more great value from us, and this summer, that's exactly what they'll get," Joe Erlinger, the president of McDonald's USA, shared in a statement provided to Food & Wine at the time. "Value has always been part of our DNA. We're focused on living up to that legacy and offering delicious, affordable options customers can enjoy any time they walk through our doors, go through our drive-thru thru, or place an order through our app."
