Welcome to December, McDonald’s deal lovers! This month, Double Cheeseburgers for just FIFTY CENTS tops the list of app-only promotions! As always, offers vary by geographic region, so be sure to check your app before heading to the restaurant.

This month, there are 9 inflation-fighting McDonald’s mobile app offers awaiting your arrival:

– 50 cent Double Cheeseburger (valid once per WEEK)

All of these deals are available exclusively on McDonald’s Mobile App. Limit 1 per person per day at participating restaurants. Specific promotional offers may vary by location.

I will keep watching to see if 2 for $6 or a similar offer returns. As soon as I receive further information, this page will be updated. Be sure to check back often! Select McDonald’s restaurants will be open holiday hours on Christmas Day (Wednesday, December 25.)

This spring promotion was active earlier this year but has NOT been confirmed for 2025. 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.

MARCH 2024 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 $3.99 in my area, 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 59 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 fish sandwich offers for Lenten season, here’s a few more that I have found at other restaurants:

– Arby’s: 2 for $6 Mix ‘n Match Crispy Fish or Fish N Cheddar.
– Burger King: Buy 1 Big Fish, get 1 for $2.
– 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.

Filet-O-Fish Friday has returned to participating Southern California McDonald’s restaurants. Price is $2.99, or $2.50 if you order with the mobile app. Available only on Fridays, February 16-March 29, 2024. 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!

This fall promotion was active last year but has NOT been confirmed for 2024. 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!

INFLATION ALERT: The price of this annual promotion has increased from $4.99 in 2022 to $5.49 in 2023 at my local McDonald’s. Similar price increases are being reported in most other areas.

The elusive McRib sandwich has returned to McDonald’s menu! It pops up occasionally in certain parts of the country, usually during the winter months or around Thanksgiving-Christmas-New Years when diners are looking for an inexpensive warm meal. This year marks the 42nd Anniversary of the McRib. It was first introduced at a Kansas City, Kansas Micky D’s back in November, 1981.

Walking by my local McDonald’s yesterday, I noticed the posters on the windows proclaiming this most blessed event! This pork patty sandwich with pickles and onions is actually very good and well worth the price which remains under $6 at most locations. In my town, a McRib sandwich only is priced at $5.49. The McRib Meal (sandwich, fries, and a drink) costs $10.19 with medium fries or $11.19 with large fries.

If you want “something different” next time you’re at McDonald’s, get your hands on a McRib! This promotion is available for a limited time at participating restaurants. Prices may vary by location. Not available after midnight. Select McDonald’s restaurants will be open holiday hours on Christmas Day (Monday, December 25.)
