Some McDonald’s items will soon cost less than a ride on the New York City subway.
The fast-food giant announced Thursday that starting April 21, value offerings will expand with a revamped menu and more discounts.
McDonald’s has unveiled their brand-new Under $3 Menu with at least 10 menu items available throughout the day, allowing customers to mix and match at a low price.
The Under $3 Menu includes breakfast items such as the Sausage McMuffin, Sausage Biscuit, Sausage Burrito, Hash Browns and a medium McCafé Premium Roast Coffee.
For lunch and dinner, the same value applies to the McChicken, McDouble, 4-Piece Chicken McNuggets, small fries and a medium soft drink.
Throughout the year, McDonald’s noted that they will spotlight select Under $3 items at an even lower price for a limited time nationwide. Their first spotlights will be the Sausage McMuffin for just $1.50 and the McDouble for $2.50.
In addition to the Under $3 Menu, McDonald’s is bringing the Meal Deal to breakfast for just $4. Fans will be able to choose a Sausage McMuffin or Sausage Biscuit for their entrée, which will be served with hash browns and a small McCafé Premium Roast Coffee.
Meal Deals beyond breakfast will continue, starting at $5. Fans choose between a McChicken Meal Deal for $5 or a McDouble Meal Deal for $6.
Both Meal Deals come with 4-piece McNuggets, small fries and a small soft drink.
“Value at McDonald’s isn’t a moment – it’s a journey we’ve been building together over time,” Scott Rodrick, McDonald’s Owner/Operator and OPNAD Chair, said in a statement.
“This next evolution of McValue builds on what fans already love, and as franchisees, we’re excited to offer fans more options that fit their lives, routines and budgets.”
McDonald’s fans seemed to have mixed opinions online when talk of the Under $3 Menu started floating a couple weeks ago.
Many noted they wished McDonald’s would bring back the dollar menu instead, though some pointed out that this is the new version of the dollar menu.
“It’s not even a meal it’s $3 value ITEMS… which is no value at all. Bring back the dollar menu, losers,” one wrote on Reddit.
“$3 is value items basically the new dollar menu not a meal,” another pointed out.
“Why can’t the food actually be affordable?” someone asked.
