McDonald’s issues major update on how customers can get discounted food

MCDONALD’S has issued a major update on how customers can now get discounted food.

The fast-food giant has launched a new offering to help customers on a budget this January, known as Deal Drop.

Every Monday, new offers will appear in the rewards and offers section of the McDonald’s app, ready for customers to redeem throughout the week.

The scheme has been running since December 30, with the initial launch giving customers 20% off the entire menu and £2 off when spending £10.

The offers can be redeemed for McDelivery straight to their door, as well as in-store, all via the McDonald’s app.

And now this Monday customers can get their hands on the following:

• 20% off ALL food and drink 
• ‘Spend £15, Save £3,’ offer  
• One special deal selected just for the customer, which could include a Double Cheeseburger for £1.29  

Customers can get free delivery on all orders from £15.

To get started with Deal Drop, customers should follow these steps:

• Every Monday, customers will receive a prompt to reveal their deals via the McDonald’s App or email.
• The three deals will appear in the Rewards and Offers section of the McDonald’s App, ready for use on relevant purchases.
• From December 30 to January 26, these deals can be redeemed throughout the week. From February, the deals will be redeemable on Mondays only, for one day.
• Each deal can only be redeemed once per customer.
• Offers can be used for McDelivery and in-store, all via the McDonald’s App.

It comes as McDonald’s has shaken up its menu in recent weeks.

Last year it launched a new Chilli Double Cheeseburger, which landed on its saver menu for £2.49.

It features two 100% British and Irish beef patties, two slices of cheese, onions, jalapenos, pickles and spicy relish in a toasted bun.

The fast food chain has added to six items to its offering from including:

• Katsu crispy or grilled wrap – £3.49 single item, £5.29 with a meal and £1.99 on Wednesday
• Milkyway McFlurry – £2.19
• BBQ ranch stack burger – £5.19 single item, £6.99 with a meal
• McCrispy BBQ smokehouse – £5.79 single item, £7.49 with a meal
• Mozzarella dippers £2.39

However, this does mean its Christmas menu, which included a Terry’s Chocolate pie, have been removed from the menu.

How to save money at McDonald’s

Did you know that you can end up being charged more based on which branch of McDonald’s you choose to eat at? 

There can be up to a 30p price difference in a Big Mac meal at restaurants which are just two miles away from each other, The Sun previously found.

Another way to cut back spending at McDonald’s is by ordering from the Savers menu or by taking advantage of its ‘3 for £3’ deal when it lands in stores. 

It is also worth bearing in mind that McDonald’s offers a discount on your next order if you fill out a survey online after visiting its stores. 

These can be found on the back of any receipt you get at McDonald’s.

How do I find my nearest McDonald’s?

If you’re planning on taking a trip to McDonald’s, you’ll want to know where your nearest branch is.

The chain has a restaurant locator tool on its website you can use to find your nearest one – and check what time it opens.

Bear in mind that McDonald’s serves breakfast every day until 11am.

After that, it switches to the normal menu, serving meals such as burgers, chicken nuggets and more.
