What Is the New McValue Meal at McDonald’s?
The newest piece is the Under $3 Menu, added on April 21, 2026. It covers ten items, five at breakfast and five on the lunch menu. You can grab one item as a snack or mix a few together to build a fuller meal for under $10.
What Happened to McDonald’s McValue Menu?
When it launched in January 2025, you had to buy one item at full price to unlock a second one for $1. Diners on Reddit compared it poorly to the older 2 for $3.99 offer and felt it pushed them into buying more food than they wanted.
McDonald’s retired that structure in April 2026 and moved to single item value pricing. Nothing extra is required to get the low price now.
What Is the 2 for $3.99 Deal at McDonald’s?
It was a two item promotion from the years before McValue and was never part of the current lineup. Some markets still run similar offers, like a Southern California deal for two McGriddles, Sausage Biscuits or iced coffees at $3.99. If a store near you has one, you will see it in the app or on signs inside.
What Is on the McDonald’s Menu Right Now?
Outside the value lineup, the menu still runs on Big Mac, Quarter Pounder with Cheese, McCrispy sandwiches, Snack Wraps, McNuggets, fries, McCafé drinks and the newer Refreshers. Breakfast covers Egg McMuffins, McGriddles, biscuits and burritos.
Which Picks Are Worth It?
- The $4 breakfast deal, which saves around $3.50 against buying the same three items one by one.
- A Sausage McMuffin during a $1.50 spotlight offer, the cheapest hot sandwich on the menu.
- The McDouble, the strongest lunch item under $3.
- Skip drinks and fries on their own and take them inside a meal deal instead.
