McDonald’s Brings Back Extra Value Meals Nationwide on Sept. 8 With $5 and $8 Deals

The value push targets lapsed lower‑income diners after reports of corporate support to franchisees to cut local prices.

Overview

  • The relaunch features eight combo options across breakfast, lunch and dinner that are priced about 15% below buying items separately.
  • Kickoff offers include a $5 Sausage McMuffin with Egg meal and an $8 Big Mac meal for a limited time, with prices $1 higher in California, Alaska, Hawaii and Guam.
  • Additional price‑pointed offers are slated for November, including $5 Sausage, Egg and Cheese McGriddles and an $8 10‑piece Chicken McNuggets meal.
  • Prices will vary by market because roughly 95% of U.S. restaurants are franchisee‑owned, which means local operators ultimately set menu pricing.
  • McDonald’s frames the move as restoring everyday value to win back budget‑conscious customers, while reporting points to corporate financial assistance for franchisees and analysts expect rivals to respond with deeper discounts.
