How to save at McDonald's You could end up being charged more for a McDonald's meal based solely on the McDonald's restaurant you choose. Research by The Sun found a Big Mac meal can be up to 30% cheaper at restaurants just two miles apart from each other. You can pick up a Big Mac and fries for just £2.99 at any time by filling in a feedback survey found on McDonald's receipts. The receipt should come with a 12-digit code which you can enter into the Food for Thought website alongside your submitted survey. You'll then receive a five-digit code which is your voucher for the £2.99 offer. There are some deals and offers you can only get if you have the My McDonald's app, so it's worth signing up to get money off your meals. The MyMcDonald's app can be downloaded on iPhone and Android phones and is quick to set up. You can also bag freebies and discounts on your birthday if you're a My McDonald's app user. The chain has recently sent out reminders to app users to fill out their birthday details - otherwise they could miss out on birthday treats.

McDonald's ‘best burger by far' is finally returning — but there's a big catch
McDonald's customers are in for a treat as the fast food chain is preparing to switch up its menu at the end of the month. For six weeks from July 30 there will be a brand new McFlurry flavour available, plus two 'unmissable' new drinks, and several returning classics – including a burger that's been hailed the 'best by far' by diehard fans. We're talking, of course, about the Big Tasty and Big Tasty with Bacon, which are rarely featured on the menu, despite being incredibly popular. Last sold in 2024, the burgers both feature a beef patty, Emmental cheese, onions, tomatoes and a smoky sauce, all served in a toasted sesame bun, and one has some extra bacon. But there is a bit of a catch… the range won't be available nationwide. The Big Tasty range will only be a regional exclusive in East Anglia from the end of next week. Similarly, those in Tyne & Tees are also getting a special treat, as the Steakhouse Stack will be joining the line up in participating restaurants up north. But before those in these parts of the UK start feeling smug about their bonus items, it's worth noting that they'll be missing out on one other returning product: the Chicken Big Mac. The chicken version of the classic, which features two patties, a slice of cheese, pickles, lettuce and Big Mac sauce, will be back on McDonald's menus everywhere except for East Anglia and Tyne & Tees, for a limited time. But the whole of the UK will be able to enjoy a bunch of other returning fan-favourites, including Spicy Chicken McNuggets served with a Spicy Chilli Dip, the Fajita Chicken One, (a wrap made with creamy fajita sauce, tomato salsa, onions, cheese and lettuce with either crispy or grilled chicken), Chilli Cheese Bites and the Milky Way McFlurry with milk chocolate stars, malt flavoured pieces and a chocolate sauce. Aside from these, there are three brand new items to sip and sink your teeth into in August. McDonald's is going to be shaking up its drinks menu with a bold new way to customise their Sprite Zero drink. For the first time ever, customers will be able to add a pump of fruity syrup to their beverage, choosing from Green Apple or Mango & Passionfruit flavours. And those who want to cool off with an ice cream are going to be able to try a new Jaffa Cakes McFlurry, which sees the vanilla base swirled with chocolate covered shortcake pieces and an orange sauce. The new items being introduced mean we have to say goodbye to some of the current ones. The Chicken Katsu Wrap is being axed, along with the Halloumi Fries, Toffee Apple Pie, Toffee Crisp McFlurry and Cheesy McCrispy. More Trending The Big Arch burger will be sticking around on the menu for a little while longer though, as will the Frank's RedHot Mayo dip and the Squishmallows Happy Meal. Mcdonald's is also introducing a new game on its app, known as Side Missions. For four weeks from July 14, those with the app can play to unlock weekly food offers and a chance to win big prizes including £10,000 in cash, £100 Argos or Virgin Experience Vouchers, cinema tickets and free food.

McDonald's chicken strips mark first permanent menu addition in 4 years
This story was originally published on Restaurant Dive. To receive daily news and insights, subscribe to our free daily Restaurant Dive newsletter. McDonald's is adding chicken strips, called McCrispy Strips, to its permanent menu on May 5, the brand said Thursday in a press release. The chicken strips are McDonald's first major addition to its U.S. core menu since 2021. This is the chain's first significant menu launch since it formed its restaurant experience teams, including a chicken menu division, in March. McDonald's chicken strip offering could help insulate the Golden Arches from the competitive threat posed by chicken QSRs. Fast food as a whole has embraced chicken as a major sales driver. McDonald's new restaurant experience teams include a branch solely dedicated to chicken product development, alongside divisions targeting beef products and dessert/beverage innovation. Rival Wendy's is also looking to chicken as a menu innovation priority, and the fastest-growing major chains in terms of sales, according to Circana, are chicken chains like Wingstop and Raising Cane's. 'The demand for chicken strips has been remarkable to see across the industry, so we knew we had to deliver something so craveable that it was worth the wait,' Alyssa Buetikofer, McDonald's chief marketing and customer experience officer, said in a statement. Cesar Piña, the chain's senior vice president and chief supply chain officer, said McDonald's has worked to ensure adequate supply of the menu item. 'Bringing new products to our fans requires collaboration across suppliers, franchisees, and company staff. We hold ourselves to the highest standard and aim to bring fans nothing less than greatness,' Piña said. The Golden Arches is also adding a new permanent dipping sauce, called Creamy Chili Dip, to accompany its chicken strips. McDonald's will sell the strips in three- or four-piece orders. McDonald's needs a win in culinary novelty, as the success of its Chicken Big Mac promotion and $5 Meal Deal last year was erased by a consumer pullback after an E. Coli outbreak linked to contaminated onions on Quarter Pounders. Recommended Reading McDonald's creates 'restaurant experience' team to sharpen menu innovation Sign in to access your portfolio
