McDonald’s $5 meal deal returns for summer on June 25: What’s included
McDonald’s fans can look forward to another menu offering this summer.
The fast-food chain announced Thursday that customers will be able to purchase the $5 meal deal at participating restaurants for a limited time starting June 25. It’s the latest attempt to make a meal cheaper for fans after criticism that prices have risen sharply in recent years.
“We’ve heard our fans’ wishes loud and clear – they expect even more from us and that’s exactly what they’ll get this summer,” said Joe Erlinger, president of McDonald’s USA, in a statement.
“Value has always been part of our DNA. We are focused on living up to that heritage and offering delicious, affordable options that customers can enjoy whenever they walk through our doors, drive through our drive-thru or place an order through our app,” Erlinger continued.

What is included in the $5 meal deal?
The menu includes four dishes: You can choose between a McDouble or McChicken, 4 Chicken McNuggets, small portions of French fries and a small soft drink.
Users of the McDonald’s app can also get free medium fries when they order at least $1 on Free Fries Friday. The offer is valid nationwide until the end of the year.
Franchises across the country are also offering local deals. For example, in Memphis, Tennessee, there is a deal where you can buy one breakfast sandwich for $1 and get the second for $1. In Western New York, customers can enjoy a McChicken and McDouble mix-and-match deal for $3.99.

During quarterly earnings calls earlier this year, McDonald’s CEO Chris Kempczinski emphasized the importance of price affordability for customers.
“Consumers are even more selective with every dollar they spend as they face increased prices on their everyday expenses, putting pressure on the industry,” Kempczinski said. “It’s imperative that we continue to prioritize affordability for our customers.”
