McDonald’s McRib Meal Promotion & Prices

March 21, 2024

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.)
