McDonald’s will expand its US menu as fast-food chains compete for bargain seekers

McDonald’s will expand its U.S. value menu early next year as it continues to try to win back inflation-weary customers.

Starting January 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 it $5 meal deal until next summer. That deal was introduced in June and extended until 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.

AP correspondent Rita Foley reports on McDonald’s new offering.

McDonald’s $5 Meal Deal, which was matched by rivals like Burger King, helped the chain win back some customers. In the Period July-SeptemberU.S. same-store sales – or sales at stores open at least a year – rose 0.3% from the same period a year ago.
