McDonald’s offers buy-one-get-one deal on many menu favorites for breakfast, lunch and dinner

Famished frugal diners always love a buy-one-get-one deal because it means big savings. Pay full price for the first item and get the second one at reduced price.

And McDonald’s is bringing back its popular Buy One, Add One for $1 deal on many menu favorites at participating locations — starting Jan. 7, 2025.

The offer will be available for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Buy One, Add One for $1 Breakfast

At most locations, breakfast is served until 10:30 a.m. 

The deal includes the following items for breakfast:

  • Sausage McMuffin
  • Sausage Biscuit
  • Sausage Burrito
  • Hash Browns

Buy One, Add One for $1 Lunch and Dinner

The deal includes the following items for lunch and dinner:

  • Chicken McNuggets (6-piece)
  • McChicken
  • Double Cheeseburger
  • Small Fries

Mix or match any two items. Pay the regular menu price for one and get the second (of equal or lesser value) for just a dollar more.

The cost of one menu item ranges from around $2.50 to $4, so the savings definitely add up. Regular price varies by location. 

At only a buck for the second item, hungry bargain hunters would be foolish to pass on the savings — eat both items (if you’re really hungry!), share the second item with a friend or save it for a midnight snack. 

The offer is available in-restaurant and via the McDonald’s app. The discount is automatically applied at checkout. 

$5 Meal Deal Continues

If you’re hungrier for more savings, McDonald’s also continues to offer its popular $5 Meal Deal. The offer has been extended through Summer 2025

The $5 Meal Deal includes your choice of a McDouble or McChicken sandwich, small fries, 4 Chicken McNuggets and small soft drinkall for just $5.
