What’s the New McDonald’s McValue Platform?
Starting today, January 7th, McDonald’s is taking value to a new level with its McValue menu, now available nationwide at U.S. restaurants. The new platform delivers all-day savings and exciting options for every occasion.
The McValue menu introduces greater variety and flexibility with standout offers like the “Buy One, Add One for $1” deal, allowing fans to mix and match their favorites. Customers can also enjoy the popular $5 Meal Deal, offering hearty meals at unbeatable prices.
App-exclusive deals add even more perks to the McValue experience. These include free medium fries with a $1 purchase every Friday throughout 2025 and a free McCrispy chicken sandwich for new App users. Local franchisees are also rolling out unique community deals, featuring discounts on fan-favorites like the McGriddle and offers like 20% off orders of $10 or more.
With McValue, McDonald’s proves that great taste and affordability can go hand in hand.

For those unfamiliar, the $5 Meal Deal includes a choice of either a McDouble or a McChicken sandwich, a four-piece order of Chicken McNuggets, small fries, and a small soft drink.

The fact that fans can mix and match with the new McValue menu to get great deals on the food they love is going to be an absolute game-changer.”
