McDonald's Launches $5 Meal Deal to Attract Cost-Conscious Diners

New value meal includes popular items and aims to counteract rising fast-food prices.

The $5 meal deal features a McDouble or McChicken sandwich, small fries, four-piece Chicken McNuggets, and a small soft drink.
The promotion starts on June 25 and will be available for a limited time at participating U.S. locations.
McDonald's is also offering 'Free Fries Friday' through the end of 2024 for app users with a $1 minimum purchase.
Local franchisees will provide additional deals, such as breakfast sandwich offers and discounted meal pairings.
The initiative responds to consumer demand for affordable dining options amid inflation and higher living costs.
