McDonald’s has confirmed that it will launch a $5 meal deal on Tuesday, June 25.

The move has been expected since mid-May, but the fast-food giant is only now announcing the details as part of a “Summer of Value” campaign.

The $5 offer is available for a limited time and includes a McDouble or McChicken sandwich, small fries, four Chicken McNuggets and a small soft drink.

But the fine print in the press release states that McDouble meals may cost $6 at select restaurants in California and other locations, including Nevada, Washington, Alaska, Hawaii and Guam.

The promotion also includes “Free Fries Fridays” for McDonald’s app users. With a minimum purchase of $1, they will receive a free medium portion of French fries every Friday for the rest of the year.

Some Southern California franchises will have their own promotions, such as $1.49 soft drink specials, according to an email attached to the press release.
