McDonald’s Brings Back Extra Value Meals, Michigan Wallets Rejoice

Let's be honest: groceries in Michigan feel like they cost the same as a new car, and the only thing scarier than your Consumers Energy bill is the number at the bottom of your Meijer receipt. Enter McDonald's, strutting back into our budget-minded lives with a cape made of fries and ketchup packets, with the reemergence of their Extra Value Meals.

When Do McDonald’s Extra Value Meals Return?

According to a press release from McDonald's, the Golden Arches announced that Extra Value Meals will return nationwide on September 8, just in time to rescue troubled wallets across Michigan.

What’s Included in McDonald’s Discounted Meals?

That's right, our old friends the Big Mac, Sausage McMuffin with Egg, and 10-piece McNuggets are sliding back onto trays at prices that won't make you cry into your ice-cold Diet Coke.

People reports that eight discounted options will cover breakfast, lunch, and dinner. These new Extra Value Meals will save diners 15% compared to buying each item separately.

Limited-Time Meal Deals to Watch For

Better news? McDonald's is launching with two limited-time deals:

• $5 Sausage McMuffin with Egg Meal (includes hash browns and a coffee)
• $8 Big Mac meal with fries and drink

For those looking to budget their fast food options, that's a sound financial strategy.

McDonald's execs claim this is all about "value and affordability," but let's face it—this is about keeping Michigan parents sane while juggling school drop-offs, gas prices, and the fact that fall means pumpkin spice everything.
