What's coming on the new McValue menu at McDonald's, plus $5 ...
McDonald's will continue its $5 Meal Deal into 2025 as the fast food chain meets customer demand for deals with its new McValue platform.
abcnews.go.comHere’s the latest on McDonald’s new value menu based on recent reporting.
- What’s new: McDonald’s has continued to expand and refresh its value menu under the McValue umbrella, adding more items under a sub-$3 price point and bundling options to boost perceived value. This includes both standalone items and combo-style deals that pair items with beverages or sides. This strategy aims to maintain affordability while broadening the lineup beyond a fixed set of $1 items.[6][8]
- Typical deals: Expect “buy one, add one for $1” style promos on select breakfast, lunch, and dinner items, alongside ongoing flagship offers like the $5 Meal Deal that McValue platforms often feature. These elements have appeared consistently in coverage of the program since its 2025 rollout and its subsequent iterations.[1][4][7]
- Market reception: The value-menu push is positioned to attract cost-conscious diners amid inflation, with McDonald’s framing it as a long-term value platform designed to drive traffic and app engagement. Industry observers note that value has remained a key lever for traffic recovery in fast-food during periods of price sensitivity.[1][6]
Illustrative example:
- A typical week might feature a 10-item sub-$3 slate at participating locations, plus 4–6 bundled meal options (e.g., a cheaper breakfast combo or a lunch/dinner bundle) designed to appeal to budget-focused customers. This aligns with the trend described in recent coverage of McValue and related promotions.[8][6]
