McDonald’s is celebrating National Cheeseburger Day. Yes, it’s a real holiday! To prove it, they will be offering 50 cent Double Cheeseburgers through the McDonald’s app.

Enjoy a half dollar Micky D’s Double Cheeseburger on September 18th. Current menu price at my local McDonald’s is $3.69, so this is quite the deal! No coupon required, but you must use the app on your phone to order. Don’t miss National Cheeseburger Day and 50 cent Double Cheeseburgers this Thursday at your neighborhood McDonald’s.

Offer valid only on Thursday, September 18, 2025 at participating restaurants. Limit one free Double Cheeseburger per person. Not valid in conjunction with any other coupon or special promotional discount. Most McDonald’s restaurants will be open regular hours on Columbus Day (Monday, October 13.)

McDonald’s Filet-O-Fish Promotions & Prices

September 15, 2025

UPDATE 3/21/2025 – Still no news on national Filet-O-Fish deals. The current “Buy One, Add One for $1” promotion only includes McChicken, Double Cheeseburger, and 6 piece Chicken McNuggets. If YOU spot a local offer in your area, please let us know!

MARCH 2025 UPDATE: Welcome to Lent season! Due to inflation, I doubt we’ll ever see a national 2 for $5 Filet-O-Fish again. However, McDonald’s usually runs some type of fish promotion between now and Easter Sunday. Regular price is now $4.39 in my area (up from $3.99 last year), so I’m thinking a sale price around $3 might happen? Possibly an app-only BOGO deal? I’ll keep watching. As soon as I receive further information, this page will be updated. Be sure to check back often!

McDonald’s Filet-O-Fish deals have been happening for more than 50 years. I’m 60 and can remember when they were just 49 cents! Over the years, the promotional price has increased gradually: 59 cents, 79 cents, 99 cents, 2 for $2, 2 for $2.22, 2 for $3, 2 for $3.33, 2 for $4, 2 for $4.44, and finally 2 for $5. In many areas, the Filet-O-Fish was available last year as part of McDonald’s 2 for $6 Mix & Match Deal. Originally, this special pricing was only available during the weeks leading up to Good Friday and Easter. More recently, we’ve been seeing Filet-O-Fish specials year-round!

While we’re on the subject of fishy offers for Lenten season, here’s the others that I have found at various restaurants:

– Arby’s: 2 for $6.99 Mix ‘n Match Crispy Fish or Fish N Cheddar. Confirmed for 2025, price has increased from 2 for $6.00 in 2024.
– Burger King: Buy 1 Big Fish, get 1 for $2. Available exclusively online or via the BK app.
– Del Taco: 3 for $7.00 Beer Battered Fish Tacos, 2 for $6 Jumbo Shrimp Tacos.

These offers were available last year, but have not yet been confirmed for 2025:

– Captain D’s: Buy 1 Giant Fish, get 1 for $1 Fridays 2/16, 2/23, 3/1, 3/8, 3/15, 3/22, 3/29, 4/5
– Checker’s & Rally’s: Buy One Get One FREE Crispy Fish Fridays 2/16, 2/23, 3/1, 3/8, 3/15, 3/22, 3/29.
– Runza: North Pacific Cod Sandwich. Available February-March. Price varies by location.
– Wendy’s: Crispy Panko Fish Sandwich, $5.49 at my local Wendy’s. Price varies by location.

We’ll keep our eyes peeled for more cheap Filet-O-Fish sandwiches and let you know what we find. Be sure to check this page often. If YOU spot a deal at your local McDonald’s, please let us know!

McDonald’s Shamrock Shake Price & Availability

July 8, 2025

This spring promotion was active earlier this year but has NOT been confirmed for 2026. I will keep watching to see if it or a similar offer returns. As soon as I receive further information, this page will be updated. Be sure to check back often!

As expected, McDonald’s has brought back their ever-popular Shamrock Shake for St. Patrick’s Day. For 2025, the Shamrock Shake celebrates it’s 55th Anniversary! This minty masterpiece returned to restaurants on Monday, February 10.

As in previous years, it comes in 3 sizes: small, medium, and large. Unfortunately, inflation has hit the Shamrock Shake again this year: large shakes now go for around $5 in most markets. Price increases for 2025 are slightly more than last year. The cost of all sizes varies by market. At my local McDonald’s, pricing is as follows:

– Small Shamrock Shake $3.19 (was $2.89 in 2024, $2.59 in 2023)
– Medium Shamrock Shake $4.19 (was $3.99 in 2024, $3.89 in 2023)
– Large Shamrock Shake $4.99 (was $4.59 in 2024, $4.29 in 2023)

How long will McDonald’s Shamrock Shake be available? At least through St. Patrick’s Day and probably through the end of March. In past years, last call occurred around Easter Sunday. This is the same time the Filet-O-Fish Lent promotions end. If you really want to do it up right, get to McDonald’s for a Filet-O-Fish Friday, paired with a Shamrock Shake! Most McDonald’s restaurants will be open holiday hours on Easter Sunday, April 20.

McDonald’s $2.99 Filet-O-Fish Friday

July 3, 2025

This spring promotion was active previously but has NOT been confirmed for 2026. I will keep watching to see if it or a similar offer returns. As soon as I receive further information, this page will be updated. Be sure to check back often!

This is what I call “Cheap Filet-O-Fish Season.” It’s that magic time of year when McDonald’s drops the price of their Filet-O-Fish sandwiches at many locations across the U.S. I have good news and bad news for the current Lenten season. First, the bad news: I have seen fewer deals this year vs in the past. The special spring Filet-O-Fish offer is not a national promotion. Pricing and availability varies by restaurant and region. So far, there just aren’t as many discounted deals this year as there used to be. Hopefully, this will change as we get closer to Good Friday and Easter Sunday.

The GOOD news is that Micky D’s in southern California has brought back Filet-O-Fish Fridays. Price for 2024 is $2.99 and qualifies as one of the best fish sandwich deals available. Order using the McDonald’s mobile app and price is just $2.50! The catch is that it’s ONLY available for 7 Fridays and ONLY at select locations. These are the dates:

– Friday, February 16, 2024
– Friday, February 23, 2024
– Friday, March 1, 2024
– Friday, March 8, 2024
– Friday, March 15, 2024
– Friday, March 22, 2024
– Friday, March 29, 2024

Most of the Los Angeles metro area restaurants are honoring this promotion. Don’t miss $2.99 Filet-O-Fish Fridays, available through Good Friday 2024 at participating southern California McDonald’s restaurants. Most locations will be open holiday hours on Easter Sunday, March 31.
