It will include an under $3 section, a $3 lunch and dinner value menu, and a $4 breakfast meal deal. For a limited time, the chain will also slash the price of the Sausage McMuffin to $1.50 and the price of the McDouble to $2.50.

Breakfasts under $3 will include the Sausage McMuffin, Sausage Biscuit, and Sausage Burrito, Hash Browns or a medium McCafé Premium Roast Coffee. And $3 lunches include McChicken, McDouble, 4-Piece Chicken McNuggets, small Fries and a medium Soft Drink.
