This fall promotion was active previously 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!

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.)

INFLATION ALERT: Most McDonald’s restaurants no longer offer $1 drinks. Availability of this promotion now varies by location.

McDonald’s has the perfect way to quench your thirst: all Coca-Cola products, any size soft drink, just $1.00! Want a large Diet Coke? It’s only $1.00. How about a small Sprite? $1.00. Does a medium Coca-Cola sound good? You guessed it: just $1.00 this summer at Mickey D’s. No coupon or secret handshake required. Cool off for less with the soft drink of your choice at a price too good to refuse! This promotion includes the following brands:

Offer valid for a limited time at participating locations. This one dollar special CAN be used in conjunction with other coupons and/or special promotional discounts. Most McDonald’s restaurants will be open holiday hours on Independence Day (Monday, July 4.)

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!

Of course McDonald’s is celebrating Pi Day this year! Get a FREE pie with any minimum purchase of just $1.00! Enjoy a Big Mac, Quarter Pounder with Cheese, Filet-O-Fish, Chicken McNuggets, or any of Micky D’s other menu favorites and receive a $1 Apple or Strawberry & Creme Pie for dessert.

Pi Day only happens once per year and so does this promotion. You’ll need the mobile app to activate this deal, so be sure it is installed on your phone and operating correctly.

Offer valid only on Monday, March 14, 2021 at participating locations. Excludes $1 $2 $3 Dollar menu items. Not valid with combo meals or in conjunction with any other coupon or special promotional discount. Most McDonald’s restaurants will be open holiday hours on Easter Sunday, April 17.

It didn’t happen in 2025, so we are waiting anxiously to see if McDonald’s brings back their “Cold Days, Hot Deals” lunch and dinner promotion for 2026. As you may recall, this deal gave you a Quarter Pounder with Cheese for yesterday’s temperature at noon when you purchased one at the regular menu price. For instance, if it was 7 degrees at 12PM yesterday, you would buy one Quarter Pounder at regular price and receive the second for just 7 cents.

As you would expect, this offer was limited to select northern markets. A variation at some locations provided the same deal on an Egg McMuffin. If temperature at noon was 0 or below zero, your second QPC or Egg McMuffin was free. Needless to say, this is a great winter promotion. We’re hoping that Mickey D’s brings it back next year. If they do, you’ll hear about it first on this page. Stay tuned!

This winter promotion was last active in 2021. It was not held from 2022-2024 and 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!
