The $5 meal deal will be available for a limited time at participating McDonald’s restaurants nationwide. “We heard our fans loud and clear – they're looking for even more great value from us, and this summer that's exactly what they'll get,' said Joe Erlinger, president of McDonald's USA.

“Value has always been part of our DNA. We're focused on living up to that legacy and offering delicious, affordable options customers can enjoy any time they walk through our doors, go through our drive thru or place an order through our app.”

The restaurant has launched the deals amid some claims that it is no longer good value for money after rising its prices. In an open letter to customers Erlinger said prices had 'only' gone up 40 percent across its 14,000 US restaurants since before the pandemic.
