‘Tis the season of giving for McDonald’s as it keeps its prices affordable until the end of year.
McDonald’s is doubling down on ensuring that guests will enjoy savings for every craving. The Golden Arches satisfied a lot of value-seeking customers last Summer, when it kicked off the “Summer of Value” campaign. During the National French Fry Day, fans were treated to free any-sized fries; others were able to get a lot from the wildly popular $5 Meal Deal. We know for a fact that most things don’t stay the same but it’s a pleasant surprise to see McDonald’s letting us ‘fall’ further into savings!

New Menu Items at McDonald’s
Recently, McDonald’s also made social media buzz for releasing two new menu items: Chicken Big Mac and Dulce de Leche Frappe. Sounds like the ‘One True Pairing’? There’s only one way to find out…Kidding aside, here’s everything we know about these latest releases from McDonald’s:
- Chicken Big Mac: The iconic Big Mac takes on a new form with the arrival of the Chicken Big Mac. This new offering features McDonald’s special sauce we all know and love, pickles, lettuce, cheese, and instead of two beef patties, we get two fried chicken patties. These patties are made with 100% white meat and crispy tempura batter. Curious if it’s the best chicken sandwich so far? Act fast because the Chicken Big Mac will only be available until supplies last.
- Dulce de Leche Frappe: Another limited-time offer from the Golden Arches is the Dulce de Leche Frappe, released last October 30. It takes the brand’s standard Caramel Frappe and combines it with dulce de leche-flavored syrup, finished with whipped topping and caramel pieces. For those who aren’t familiar, dulce de leche is a caramel-like sauce that tastes quite like butterscotch or toffee.

From The Club
McDonald’s Summer of Value was a hit and I think the Fall of Value promos will have the same fate. It’s also the holiday season so we’re getting all the savings we could get! I appreciate McDonald’s commitment to offering food at fair prices; it’s not just about winning the value wars for this brand anymore. With the $5 Meal Deal alone, you can get a lot. Add to that all the deals available via app, and there’s always a chance for you to get the best bang for your buck. Kudos to the team at McDonald’s!
