From June 25, McDonald's is offering a $5 Meal Deal at participating restaurants. This comes as a response to fan backlash over rising fast-food prices.
The deal includes a McDouble or McChicken, 4-piece McNuggets, small fries, and a small drink. App users also get free medium fries on Fridays with a $1 min. spend. Various franchises are offering local deals too, like Memphis' BOGO $1 breakfast.
CEO Chris Kempczinski reiterated the focus on affordability: "It's imperative we keep affordability at the forefront."
