Start With Free McDonald’s Food
These two app offers deliver the biggest immediate savings, whether you are joining McDonald’s Rewards for the first time or already use it regularly.
- Free 10-piece Chicken McNuggets: Download the McDonald’s app, opt in to Rewards and make your first purchase of $1 or more by September 30 to unlock free 10-piece Chicken McNuggets. The welcome offer is available to first-time app users at participating locations and gives you a full shareable-size order for little more than the required purchase.
- Free medium fries every week: Rewards members can spend at least $1 in the app and receive free McDonald’s medium fries once per week through October 4, 2026. Pair them with a low-cost sandwich, nuggets or another qualifying order instead of paying separately for a side.
Choose Your McDonald’s Deal by Budget
McValue covers everything from a single inexpensive item to a complete breakfast, lunch or dinner. Here is what each price point currently gets you.
- Under $3: Breakfast choices can include a Sausage McMuffin, Sausage Biscuit, Sausage Burrito, Hash Browns or Medium Premium Roast Coffee. Later in the day, look for options such as a McChicken, McDouble, 4-piece Chicken McNuggets, Small Fries or a Medium Soft Drink.
- $2 breakfast sandwich: Use the app once per week through October 4, 2026 to choose a Sausage, Egg & Cheese McGriddles, Bacon, Egg & Cheese Biscuit or Egg McMuffin for $2. The deal is available at participating restaurants and excludes delivery.
- $4 breakfast meal: Choose a Sausage McMuffin or Sausage Biscuit, then get Hash Browns and a Small Premium Roast Coffee. This is the more useful option when you want a complete breakfast rather than only the discounted sandwich.
- Meal deals starting at $5: Pick a McDouble or McChicken and get 4-piece Chicken McNuggets, Small Fries and a Small Coca-Cola. The bundle covers a sandwich, nuggets, fries and a drink in one inexpensive order.
Which McDonald’s Deal Should You Choose?
New to the app? Start with the free 10-piece McNuggets offer before it ends September 30. Already a Rewards member? The weekly free fries can add the most repeat value through October 4.
For breakfast, compare the $2 sandwich with the $4 meal before ordering. The sandwich is cheaper when that is all you want, while the meal adds Hash Browns and coffee for $2 more. At lunch or dinner, the $5 meal is the easiest way to get an entrée, nuggets, fries and a drink without building the order separately.
Check the App Before You Order
Prices, eligible menu items and participation can vary by restaurant, and some promotions exclude delivery. Open the Deals tab, confirm the offer at your selected location and compare it with the local McValue menu before checking out.
Each eligible $1 spent also earns 100 McDonald’s Rewards points, which can be redeemed for participating menu items later. Only one deal may be available per order, so use the offer that removes the most expensive item you already planned to buy.
