McDonald's confirms $5 value meals to lure back low-income customers after price hikes

McDonald’s is introducing a $5 value meal this summer aimed at attracting budget-conscious customers affected by recent price increases. The promotion, starting June 25, includes a choice of a McDouble or McChicken sandwich, small fries, a small drink, and Chicken McNuggets. This move comes after criticism over high prices, including $18 for a Big Mac meal, and is part of a broader strategy to offer competitive value deals nationally. McDonald’s has faced a slowdown in global sales growth and increased pressure from competitors who are also focusing on value to attract diners.
