McDonald's halves price of popular menu items - but just for one day

McDonald's is halving the price of two popular menu items - but only for one day. On Monday (February 26), the fast food chain is slashing the cost of Big Macs from £4.99 to £1.49.

Or for those wishing to order in the morning, between 5am and 10.59am, there's also a deal on double McMuffins, which can be grabbed for £1.99, usually setting you back £4.39, also for one day only.

The half price deals are only available on February 26 and for customers who use the McDonald's app. The offers are available for those either picking up at a restaurant or through delivery.

Explaining the offer, McDonald's said: "Customers will be able to earn points when they purchase one of these deals by opting into MyMcDonald’s Rewards. The scheme means every penny spent equals one Rewards point, so this week’s offers will get you 199 points when grabbing a Double McMuffin® and 149 points when picking up a Big Mac®.

"There is also an option for customers to donate the cash equivalent of their points to BBC Children in Need, FareShare and Ronald McDonald House Charities to support the company’s commitment to funding and supporting youth work, alongside reducing food poverty and waste in the UK."

It comes just weeks after the popular fast food chain introduced two limited-edition pink desserts - Raspberry and White Chocolate Pie and KitKat Ruby Chocolate McFlurry, that became available from February 9. Also joining the menu this month was the popular Big Tasty burger.
