We can all agree that fast food has gotten way too expensive lately. Prices have climbed at nearly every chain, making it harder to grab a quick meal without spending a small fortune. But good news for McDonald’s fans: they're officially bringing back McDonald's Extra Value Meals, starting Sept. 8, 2025.
We've noticed more wallet-friendly McDonald’s deals rolling out all year (like the $5 Meal Deal and McValue promotions), and now they’re doubling down with a return to value. Starting next week, you can score bigger savings on complete meals for both breakfast lovers and Big Mac fans.

What are McDonald’s Extra Value Meals?
Extra Value Meals bundle an entree, fries, and a drink (or coffee at breakfast) into one price that’s cheaper than buying everything individually. It’s a simple way to get more McDonald's for your money.
When you order an Extra Value Meal, you’re getting the same McDonald’s favorites you know, just at a better price. In fact, these deals save you around 15% compared to ordering the items separately. That means you can get a breakfast meal or classic burger combo without overspending.
Which meals are included in the Extra Value Menu?
McDonald’s is rolling out eight Extra Value Meal options over the next few months that cover breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
To kick things off, McDonald’s is offering two big promos starting Sept. 8:
-
$5 Sausage McMuffin With Egg Meal – Comes with hash browns and a small coffee
-
$8 Big Mac Meal – Includes medium fries and a medium drink
McDonald’s plans to introduce more price-point deals later this year, like a $5 Sausage, Egg, and Cheese McGriddles meal and an $8 10-piece Chicken McNuggets meal in November. Here’s what you can expect on the Extra Value Menu throughout the rest of the year:
-
Breakfast Favorites:
-
Available Sept. 8 : Sausage McMuffin With Egg
-
Upcoming : Egg McMuffin; Sausage, Egg, and Cheese McGriddles; and Bacon, Egg, and Cheese Biscuits

How much can you save with Extra Value Meals?
One of the best things about Extra Value Meals is the built-in discount. McDonald’s says you’ll save about 15% compared to buying everything separately, but let’s break that down with an example:
-
Big Mac : $5.69
-
Medium Fries : $3.19
-
Medium Drink : $1.69
-
Total if Bought Individually: $10.57
-
Total Value Meal: $8
-
Your Savings: $2.57 (24%)
For breakfast, it’s a similar story:
-
Sausage McMuffin With Egg : $3.79
-
Hash Browns : $2.29
-
Small Coffee : $1.69
-
Total if Bought Individually: $7.77
-

It looks like you might save even more than 15% in some areas, but keep in mind that the savings percentage will vary by location.
