4 of the 5 builds here carry a McDonald's price, from $5.00 to $8.00, against a recorded top of $11.49.
McDonald's Value & Deal Tiers prices are among the few figures on this site that came from the company itself. Four of the five builds listed here carry one: $8.00 for a Big Mac Meal, $8.00 for a 10 Piece Chicken McNuggets Meal, and $5.00 each for a Sausage McMuffin with Egg Meal and a Sausage, Egg & Cheese McGriddles Meal. All four were announced as limited-time offers.

If something goes wrong
The $1 $2 $3 Dollar Menu cannot be found on the McDonald's site
- Cause
- It is not there. The strings Dollar Menu, $1 $2 $3, Daily Double and Buy One Add One appear nowhere on the deals page, which was checked twice with an explicit search, and nowhere on the McValue menu page either.
- Fix
- Use The Under $3 Menu inside McValue, which is the tier that replaced it, and expect a ceiling rather than fixed price points.
An announced price is not available at this restaurant
- Cause
- Every company figure in this section was published as limited-time with the rider that prices and participation may vary. About 95% of US restaurants are franchised and join national offers by choice.
- Fix
- Check the deals tab in the app with that restaurant selected before planning around any announced figure.
The Daily Double appears elsewhere as a deal tier
- Cause
- It is a burger. McDonald's lists Daily Double sixth on its Burgers page beside the Big Mac and the McDouble, at 490 calories, and the phrase does not appear on the deals page at all.
- Fix
- Look for it under burgers rather than deals, and price it as one sandwich.
2 for $6 Mix & Match is nowhere to be found
- Cause
- The tier is recorded here as discontinued rather than dropped. No current US price exists for it and it is absent from the deals page.
- Fix
- Treat any 2 for $6 listing as history.
An app-only offer stopped working
- Cause
- Those offers carry the only expiry dates McDonald's attaches to a price. The deals page states they are valid once a week through 4 October 2026 and require an opt-in to MyMcDonald's Rewards.
- Fix
- Check the rewards opt-in first, then the weekly reset.
Nine tiers, six of them real
This section exists because of an asymmetry that runs through the whole site. McDonald's publishes no US menu prices, with a handful of exceptions, and four of those exceptions sit in the table above. A corporate release dated 2 September 2025 brought back the Extra Value Meal with an $8.00 Big Mac Meal and a $5.00 Sausage McMuffin with Egg Meal, then pre-announced $5.00 for a Sausage, Egg & Cheese McGriddles Meal and $8.00 for a 10 Piece Chicken McNuggets Meal that November. Each figure came flagged for a limited time, under the line about prices and participation varying.
Nine tiers were documented in the checking behind these pages. Six are current: McValue as the umbrella, The Under $3 Menu, $4 Meal Deals: Breakfast, Meal Deals starting at $5, Extra Value Meals, and the app-only offers attached to MyMcDonald's Rewards. Two are recorded as discontinued. The ninth is not a tier at all.
Take the discontinued pair first, because both are searched for constantly. Ask whether the Dollar Menu still exists and the honest answer needs two sentences. The strings Dollar Menu, $1 $2 $3, Daily Double and Buy One Add One appear nowhere on McDonald's deals page, checked twice with an explicit search. Live pages elsewhere still publish a $1 $2 $3 menu, and on one of them the cheapest item runs to $1.39 and the dearest to $4.99, so nothing on it costs $1, $2 or $3. A menu named after three price points that contains none of them has stopped being a menu and become a phrase.
2 for $6 Mix & Match is the other one. Nothing currently sits under that name, no current US price exists for it, and it is absent from the deals page. Recording it as discontinued beats pretending it was never there.
The ninth entry is the Daily Double, which turns up in lists of McDonald's value tiers and is simply a burger: 490 calories, listed sixth on the company's own Burgers page beside the Big Mac and the McDouble. Miscategorising it is easy, since the name sounds like an offer.
One current tier deserves more attention than it gets. The app-only offers are the only place McDonald's attaches an expiry date to a price: a $2 Breakfast Sandwich, a free medium Fries with a $1 minimum purchase and a free Big Mac on the same threshold, each valid once a week through 4 October 2026 for anyone opted into MyMcDonald's Rewards.
Read the table with the gap in mind. Recorded figures across this section run from $5.00 to $11.49, with $6.50 typical, while the company's own calorie totals run from 625 to 1,170. The distance between an announced $8.00 Big Mac Meal and the $11.49 at the top of that build's recorded band is what franchising does to a national price: roughly 95% of US restaurants are run by franchisees, and an announcement has to meet thousands of locally-set boards. Figures here were read from McDonald's pages and recorded from published US listings on 19 August 2026.

Questions people ask
Which McDonald's prices are official?
Four in this section: $8.00 for a Big Mac Meal, $8.00 for a 10 Piece Chicken McNuggets Meal, $5.00 for a Sausage McMuffin with Egg Meal and $5.00 for a Sausage, Egg & Cheese McGriddles Meal. The $4 breakfast deals inside McValue are the others.
Is the McDonald's dollar menu still around?
Not on McDonald's own site. The strings Dollar Menu and $1 $2 $3 appear nowhere on the deals page or the McValue menu page, both checked twice. McValue replaced it, with a ceiling instead of fixed price points.
Why do other pages still list a $1 $2 $3 menu?
Because the name survives the offer. Pages of that kind remain live, and on one the cheapest item is $1.39 while the dearest reaches $4.99, which means nothing on it costs $1, $2 or $3.
Is 2 for $6 Mix & Match still running?
No. It is recorded here as discontinued, with no current US price and no presence on the deals page.
What deals are app-only?
A $2 Breakfast Sandwich, a free medium Fries with a $1 minimum purchase and a free Big Mac on the same threshold. All three run once a week through 4 October 2026 and require MyMcDonald's Rewards.
Is this page an official McDonald's price list?
No. HelpMeLogin is independent of McDonald's. Four prices here are the company's own limited-time figures and every calorie total is theirs; the ranges were recorded from published US listings and checked on 19 August 2026.
Can this site tell me the price at my local McDonald's?
No. Around 95% of US restaurants are franchised, and even a nationally announced price carries the company's own warning that participation may vary. The McDonald's app, set to a restaurant, gives that restaurant's figures.
