Starting Jan. 7, the burger chain will let customers buy one
full-priced item from a limited value menu and get another item
on that menu for $1. Items on the menu include a Sausage
McMuffin, hash browns, a McChicken sandwich and small fries.
McDonald's will also continue to offer its $5 Meal Deal through
next summer. That deal was introduced in June and extended
through the end of this year in September. Chicago-based
McDonald's said it will also continue to offer local specials
and in-app deals like free drinks.
As grocery price inflation has eased, McDonald's says it has
seen more diners shifting to eating at home instead of going
out. In October, prices for food eaten away from home were up
3.8% from the prior year, while prices for food eaten at home
were up 1.1%, according to the U.S. government.
McDonald's $5 Meal Deal, which was matched by rivals like Burger
King, helped the chain win back some customers. In the
July-September period, its U.S. same-store sales — or sales at
stores open at least a year — rose 0.3% from the same period a
year ago.
