McDonald’s Canada is making a one-year price promise on two of its flagship offerings: McValue Meals, now priced at $5 and including breakfast items, and small McCafé coffee, still sold for $1.
This marks the first time in over a decade that the fast food chain has publicly committed to a price freeze of this kind in Canada. The decision underscores the company’s dedication to offering reliable value at a time when consumers are dealing with rising costs. According to an Angus Reid online survey recently conducted, three in five Canadians say that the cost of living is their top concern for 2026.
Here are the $5 meal deals on menu at McDonald’s restaurants across Canada, whether dine-in or Drive-Thru, at breakfast, lunch and dinner:
• Lunch & Dinner McValue Meals. McDouble McValue Meal, Junior Chicken McValue Meal and Chicken Snack Wrap McValue Meal, each served with small fries and a small fountain drink.
• Breakfast McValue Meals. Sausage McMuffin McValue Meal, Sausage McGriddles McValue Meal, Breakfast Burrito McValue Meal and Bagel with Cream Cheese Product McValue Meal, each served daily until 11 AM with a hash brown and a small McCafé coffee.
$1 Small McCafé Coffee
In July 2024, despite rising coffee costs, McDonald’s introduced $1 small McCafé coffee at its restaurants throughout Canada and also reduced the cost of all other coffee sizes by about 30 per cent on average. Today, the company has committed to keeping the price of small McCafé coffee at $1 for the entire year, with no minimum purchase required.
“When we first opened our doors in Canada back in 1967, we began a tradition of serving great tasting food at an unbeatable value – a tradition that still guides us today,” said Annemarie Swijtink, president and chief executive officer. “Together with our local franchisees, who own and operate 90 per cent of all McDonald’s Canada restaurants, we’re leveraging the size and strength of our Canadian supply chain to keep prices low on McValue Meals and coffee, despite inflation and rising costs.”
More than 90 per cent of the chain’s approximately 1,500 Canadian restaurants are locally owned and operated by independent franchisees. Of the almost $1 billion spent on food, over 85 per cent is purchased from suppliers in Canada.
