A squirrel was spotted taking a snack break on top of a trash can near a McDonald’s in Massachusetts.
McDonald’s is now offering more budget-friendly snacks with the launch of new value menu items and meal deals.
McDonald’s announced in a news release earlier this month that the latest offer, available starting April 21 at participating restaurants nationwide, includes all menu items priced under $3 on each menu item.
The fresh menu includes a $4 breakfast discount, as well as lunch and dinner discounts starting at $5.
The deal is an expansion of McDonald’s existing MacValue menu, which was first launched in early 2025. Apart from this, McDonald’s also already offers Extra Value Meal menu items with breakfast, lunch and dinner options.
