McDonald's slashing price of two menu favourites – but for limited time only
McDonald's is slashing the price of two menu favourites - but the offer is available for a limited time only.
Fans of the fast food chain will be able to get a Big Mac for £1.49 on Monday, saving £3.50 from its original price of £4.99. And if you go to the restaurant in the morning, you will be able to buy double McMuffins for £1.99. The deals are only available on February 26 through the McDonald's app.
The company said: "Customers will be able to earn points when they purchase one of these deals by opting into MyMcDonald's Rewards. The scheme means every penny spent equals one Rewards point, so this week's offers will get you 199 points when grabbing a Double McMuffin® and 149 points when picking up a Big Mac®.
If you fancy a double McMuffins for breakfast, tomorrow they will only cost £1.99"There is also an option for customers to donate the cash equivalent of their points to BBC Children in Need, FareShare and Ronald McDonald House Charities to support the company's commitment to funding and supporting youth work, alongside reducing food poverty and waste in the UK."
Earlier this month, McDonald's launched its new menu which saw the breakfast wrap making a comeback. New items such as the McSpicy x Frank's RedHot as two pink desserts were introduced too.

Fans were excited to try the new and improved breakfast wrap, which McDonald's promised would be an "experience like never before", with a pork sausage patty, two round free-range eggs, a slice of bacon, a crispy potato rosti and cheese served in a tortilla wrap with either tomato ketchup or brown sauce. But just days after the new menu was introduced, the wrap was removed, leaving fans disappointed.
At the time, a spokesperson said: "Due to an unprecedented demand, McDonald's has had to temporarily remove the breakfast wrap from the menu, to avoid running out of all wider breakfast items." But the company later said the wrap would be returning as it was on a "temporary hiatus over the weekend due to unprecedented demand".
Figures released at the beginning of February showed that McDonald's reported its first quarterly sales miss in nearly four years. The company is among several brands that have faced protests and boycotts over their perceived pro-Israeli stance in the Gaza conflict.
Chief executive Chris Kempczinski said the business in Malaysia, Indonesia and France have been affected, with the biggest impact felt in the Middle East. "So long as this war is going on... we're not expecting to see any significant improvement [in these markets]," the McDonald's boss added.
Starbucks also saw a hit to sales and traffic and stores in the Middle East. After facing boycotts, the company released a statement saying its position remained "unchanged" and denying it was funding any government or military operations.
It said on its website: "Starbucks stands for humanity. We condemn violence, the loss of innocent life and all hate and weaponised speech. Despite false statements spread through social media, we have no political agenda. We do not use our profits to fund any government or military operations anywhere – and never have."
