McDonald's deals 2026: McValue meal deals from $4, Monopoly ending 1 Nov, Boo Buckets, free fries in the app — with the deals that have ended.

McDonald's and Taco Bell are unrelated brands. This is an independent guide to McDonald's menu, prices and nutrition — it is not affiliated with McDonald's Corporation, and it is not the official McDonald's website. Prices vary by location and change over time; every range below is labelled with its basis.
McValue meal deals
McValue is the current value platform, launched nationally on 7 Jan 2025 and revamped on 21 Apr 2026. The meal deals are limited-time offers at participating restaurants, and prices vary by location. No end date has been announced for them — they are listed here as "limited time" only.
| Meal deal | Contents | Price | Calories |
|---|---|---|---|
| $4 Breakfast Meal Deal | Sausage McMuffin or Sausage Biscuit + Hash Browns + small coffee | $4 | 540–600 Cal |
| $5 McChicken Meal Deal | McChicken + 4-pc Chicken McNuggets + small fries + small soft drink | $5 | 790 Cal |
| $6 McDouble Meal Deal | McDouble + 4-pc Chicken McNuggets + small fries + small soft drink | $6 | 790 Cal |
Calorie figures are the food only, summed from the official per-item values (for example McChicken 390 + 4-pc nuggets 170 + small fries 230 = 790). Drinks are not included in the sums.
The $5 Meal Deal, stated carefully: the April 2026 revamp split the original $5 bundle into the $5 McChicken and $6 McDouble meal deals above. Some markets still advertise the flat $5 bundle — either sandwich with 4-pc nuggets, small fries and a small drink — so if your local restaurant advertises "$5 Meal Deal", that is the version it is running. No single definitive "$5 Meal Deal" price for the McDouble is published here.
Under $3 menu — 10 items
Added in the 21 Apr 2026 revamp, replacing the retired Buy One, Add One for $1 offer. At participating restaurants; prices vary by location.
- Breakfast: Sausage McMuffin, Sausage Biscuit, Sausage Burrito, Hash Browns, Medium McCafé Premium Roast Coffee
- Lunch & dinner: McChicken, McDouble, 4-piece Chicken McNuggets, Small World Famous Fries, Medium soft drink

Eligible items include the Quarter Pounder with Cheese, Egg McMuffin, large fries, and large hot and cold drinks — only Large beverages are eligible. Pre-registration opened 22 Sept 2026. Players must be 18 or older, and the app plus Rewards membership are required; no purchase is required to play, per the official rules.
Prizes include $1 million in cash, a 2027 Jeep Cherokee, a Carnival Cruise Line vacation, a Kennedy Space Center VIP tour or trip, Polaris vehicles, free McDonald's for a year (a $1,040 McDonald's gift card), cash prizes, gift cards, food prizes and MyMcDonald's Rewards points (instant wins of 1,500–7,000 points reported).
Boo Buckets 2026 — live since 20 October
The Disney Villains Boo Buckets Happy Meal launched nationwide at participating restaurants on Tuesday 20 Oct 2026, for a limited time and while supplies last. Five designs: Jafar (red, Aladdin), Ursula (purple, The Little Mermaid), Scar (orange, The Lion King), Cruella (white, 101 Dalmatians) and Maleficent (green, Sleeping Beauty). Each bucket has a villain-inspired lid and a sticker sheet, and replaces the usual Happy Meal box. Entrée choices are a hamburger (cheese optional) or 4-pc or 6-pc Chicken McNuggets, with a drink, apple slices and fries. Price varies by location, and no end date has been published. Boo Buckets debuted in 1986, returned in 2022 after a gap since 2016, and ran monster designs in 2023 and 2024.
Free fries in the app
Free medium fries with a $1+ purchase in the McDonald's app, once a week, for MyMcDonald's Rewards members (excludes McDelivery, excludes tax, participating restaurants). The offer's documented cycle ran through 4 Oct 2026, and mid-October reporting says it continues through the end of 2026 — check the app, as this offer renews in cycles. It is not presented here as "Free Fries Friday": that Friday-only branding was the 2025 McValue launch offer, and no 2026 source confirms a Friday-only version.
MyMcDonald's Rewards — points tiers
Earn 100 points per $1 spent on eligible products (pre-tax subtotal). Redeem in four tiers. The point levels are firm; the items listed are examples and vary by location and promotion.
| Tier | Points | Example rewards |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 1,500 | McChicken, Hash Browns, Vanilla Cone, Cheeseburger |
| 2 | 3,000 | Medium Fries, Sausage Burrito, 6-pc Chicken McNuggets, Large Iced Coffee |
| 3 | 4,500 | Filet-O-Fish, Large Fries, Large Frappé, Sausage McMuffin with Egg |
| 4 | 6,000 | Big Mac, Quarter Pounder with Cheese, Happy Meal, Bacon, Egg & Cheese Biscuit |
Points expiry is reported as the last day of the sixth month after the month earned (for example, points earned 15 Jan expire 31 Jul) — single source, so treat it as reported rather than confirmed. One source lists the McDouble in Tier 3 instead of the Large Frappé; the tier point levels are consistent everywhere, the exact item lists vary.
