McDonald's is my guilty pleasure. I go there specifically on road trips and do this so often that there is usually an empty McDonald's bag in the front passenger-side seat of my car.
Speaking of value -- extra or otherwise -- McDonald's just launched a new McValue meal menu with a variety of cash-saving options.
The popular $5 meal deal features the McChicken $5 meal deal or the McDouble $5 meal deal.
The McChicken value meal includes your choice of a McChicken sandwich or 4-piece Chicken McNuggets, a small order of fries and a small Coca-Cola. The McDouble features the double cheeseburger with a small order of fries and a small Coca-Cola.

The new menu also includes a new "Buy One, Add One for $1" option that includes items like a 6-piece order of nuggets, a double cheeseburger and breakfast items like a sausage biscuit or hash browns.
The "McValue" menu is a new, budget-friendly attempt at bringing back customers who fled the fast food outlet due to high prices.
Last year, a study from FinanceBuzz found that McDonald's was one of 13 fast-food chains that raised its menu prices by 60% in the last decade between 2014 and 2024. The personal finance site reported that a McDonald's Quarter Pounder with Cheese meal from McDonald's more than doubled in price from $5.39 in 2014 to $11.99 in 2024.
The new menu category is McDonald's largest value-minded effort since 2018, according to CNN, when it priced some items between $1 to $3.
The new McValue menu will also include more app-friendly offers, plus local food and drink deals organized by its franchisees.
