If you're on a tight budget but still want to indulge in fast food here and there, the new menu at McDonald's will hit the spot. Starting in April, you'll be able to order individual items starting at $3 and even a breakfast combo for $4.

Your money will go further at McDonald's

That five-dollar bill in your wallet is going to go a whole lot further at McDonald's from April. For $3, you can order items like a four-piece McNugget pack, sausage biscuits and more.

Dubbed "McValue 2.0," the menu has been launched to win back low-income customers who have been hit hard by the rising cost of living.

A full breakfast combo for $4

Probably the most exciting deal on the new value menu is the $4 breakfast combo. You'll get a McMuffin, a hash brown, and a coffee - a full breakfast.

At that price, McDonald's is competing for the title of the lowest-priced breakfast combo.

Asked to comment on the upcoming deals, McDonald's CEO Chris Kempczinski leaned into McDonald's reputation for offering value.

"We absolutely are going to make sure that we are protecting our leadership position in value," said Kempczinski.

Different from the previous value menus

If you're confused about previous "value menus" McDonald's has offered, this is completely different. Back in 2024, the $5 deals were introduced, and then last year it was all about the $1 add-ons.

These are even bigger deals, meant to appeal to even more customers.

You don't have to feel guilty for splurging

Not only will that $5 bill get you a meal with the new menu, but for $10 you and a friend could dine out. You'll feel like a big spender.
