It’s no secret that prices have gone up on just about everything lately — but fast food prices are especially high.

Folks are feeling the squeeze, and since we’re fans of both Disney food and fast food, we know it too. But, one major fast food player could soon be introducing a new value meal that might ease the pain at the drive-through!

McDonald’s is looking to introduce a $5 value meal at US locations to bring “price-sensitive customers” back in, according to Bloomberg.

The meal would include four items, and customers could choose between a McChicken or a McDouble, plus a four-count order of McNuggets, fries, and a drink. The promotion would last for one month, but as of now, it’s unclear when the promotion might start.

During McDonald’s recent earnings call, chief financial officer Ian Borden said, “I think affordability is clearly an area where consumer expectations are heightened,” he continued, “Obviously, they’re getting hit,” [by inflation.]

This would be a stark drop from current McDonald’s prices, as a meal consisting of the same four items — a McChicken, fries, drink, and four-piece nuggets — costs $18.26 in downtown New York City. In San Francisco, the McChicken version is $16.15 while the burger option is $17.75.

The new bundle would be priced lower than a Happy Meal in select markets, which starts at $6.39 in downtown Manhattan.

So far, McDonald’s hasn’t made any official announcements about a $5 or value meal, or when we could potentially see one roll out.

As avid McDonald’s fans, we’ll be keeping an eye on this news and will let you know of any updates. Stay tuned to DFB for the latest McDonald’s news and more!
