McDonald's Follows McPick 2 for $2 with McPick 2 for $5

Starting February 29, 2016, McDonald's will be running a two for $5 mix-and-match deal called the McPick 2 for $5.

The selection for the deal includes a number of classic McDonald's menu items, including the Big Mac, Filet-O-Fish, Quarter Pounder with Cheese, and 10-piece Chicken McNuggets.

It's available nationwide for a limited time at participating McDonald's restaurants and follows the recently discontinued McPick 2 for $2 deal (it was discontinued nationally but can still be found at select locations).

Didn't 2 for 2 JUST come out?!?!?

Fuck it, I'm getting a Pony happy meal.

 

[Smellycat]

Was the two for two dollars plan not working?

Or maybe this was all part of the best plan

 

[Ledsen]

2 for $5? That's crazy you guys. A single cheeseburger is around $1.50 here

 

[PBY]

"Its basically the same, just 3 dollars more"

 

[Dash_Riprock]

I'd hit it.

 

[DCX]

2 for 2 probably was a test for 2 for 5.

Big Mac Alone is like five bucks. Two order of nuggets will be four instead of the 5 bucks for 20.

The items in the menu is a step up which should make this successful.

The 2 for $2 was great. This...Not so much.

 

[ultron87]

I mean it is a higher tier of items obviously. So it doesn't seem that bad.

 

[Himynameischris]

BK and Wendys deals are way better (and taste better)

 

[Cardon]

A Big Mac and Quarter Pounder for $5? Sure, why not. Gotta indulge my fatty desires when I stress eat.

 

[outunderthestars]

It really does seem like they are just throwing whatever they can at the wall to see what sticks.

 

[kunonabi]

Better than the 2 for 2 but I'd still rather just buy a couple spicy chicken sandwiches and a caramel sundae.

 

[Jon Carter]

Wow, the 2 for $2 didn't last long. This is a good deal too though. McChickens and McDoubles were $1 a few years ago anyway so this is nice.

 

[Rockandrollclown]

$1 McDoubles were better imo.

 

[HomerSimpson-Man]

A Big Mac and Quarter Pounder for $5?

My ass just got 10 lbs heavier!

 

[tkscz]

I don't see the deal here. That looks like spending more than just getting a burger and fries.

 

[XiaNaphryz]

A Big Mac and Quarter Pounder for $5?

My ass just got 10 lbs heavier!

Or you can buy two Quarter Pounders for $5 and make a Big Mac using those!

 

[Tansut]

With Wendy's doing 4 for $4 and BK doing 5 for $4 you have to wonder why anyone would bother with this.

 

[chuckddd]

Or you can buy two Quarter Pounders for $5 and make a Big Mac using those!

How much does a side of secret sauce cost?

 

[Neo_Geo]

I'd pay $3 for that spread. Not biting on the Extra $2 because Fuck you, mantra.

 

[HomerSimpson-Man]

I don't see the deal here. That looks like spending more than just getting a burger and fries.

The choices in the 2 for 5 include menu items way more pricey than the 2 for 2, you couldn't even get a Big Mac only for $4.

Or you can buy two Quarter Pounders for $5 and make a Big Mac using those!

I like the way you think!

 

[Stabby McSter]

Or you can buy two Quarter Pounders for $5 and make a Big Mac using those!

I've had Quarter Pounders with Big Mac sauce before. They're not the same.

[captainpat]

Aw man, I was enjoying taking advantage of it.

 

[kris.]

yeah, and mcdoubles are back to $1.50 which is some bullshit.

 

[Hip Hop]

[meow]

I didn't even know 2 for $2 was a thing. I don't go to McDonald's generally although I stopped in last week -- it was 2 for $3.50 though. NYC pricing?

 

[Sub_Level]

Uh, 2 big macs for $5 is insanely good. Great for 2 people.

For 1 person, I would rather just stick wih mcchicken/mcdouble mix n' match.

 

[Ambient80]

Didn't 2 for 2 JUST come out?!?!?

Fuck it, I'm getting a Pony happy meal.

That's what I was thinking. I swear I remember a thread from like 3-4 weeks ago that talked about its debut.

 

[Chuckl3s]

Wendy's 4 for $4 is still the best deal.

 

[VanWinkle]

Maaan, that 2 for 2 deal didn't last long at all! I was only able to utilize it twice. I will never utilize this new one.

 

[Redd]

10 piece of mcnuggets and a quarter pounder with cheese sounds good.

 

[Flame Lord]

Saw that the other day when I was trying to get the other thing for the first time. What a lame ass attempt to match the deals going on at other places. If I got to Wendy's or Hardee's I can pretty much get a whole meal for $4, so why would I got to McDonalds and pay $5 just to get two hamburgers, nuggets or whatever, and no fries and drink.

 

[Mushroomer25]

Every time I think McDonald's is getting their shit together, they manage to completely fuck up in a new fascinating direction.

2 for $2 was perfect. It brought back the dollar menu, but usually still got people to buy $5+ worth of food per visit. It embraced the cheap nature of the McDonald's brand, and pivoted it. Now they're tossing it in favor of the premium sandwiches - which nobody wants two of. Oh, and fries aren't even an option.

After this I expect them to make the McGriddle McChicken nationally available - only to immediately cancel it and raise drink prices by 50 cents.

 

[Inferno313]

As a small appetite person, this is worthless for me. A McDouble and a few Nuggets was perfect before.

But no way do I need a Quarter Pounder and 10 McNuggets, that's too much.

 

[Ken K in the Fresh!!!]

Damn missed out on the 2 for $2 deal. Been getting the cheap filet o fishes on Fridays instead

 

[Nemesis121]

"Its basically the same, just 3 dollars more"

$2 for 2 was killing the profit...

 

[Amory]

Lol 2 for $2 straight to 2 for $5.

fuck 3 and 4

 

[Hollycat]

2 for $2 was good and cheap and this... is not.

 

[_woLf]

They aren't trying very hard to compete with BK and Wendys I guess

 

[Walter White Walker]

2 for $2 was great ordering for my kids (they both want a plain McDouble). This new one doesn't work for me at all. No deal, McDonald's.

 

[blakep267]

Eh, this actually is a good deal. 2 Big Macs for $5 is great. Also it's great for sharing with others

 

[chuckddd]

That cookie in the BK picture is frightening. Are those raisin chips?

 

[Slayer-33]

I was buying mcdoubles and mcchickens or fries left and right. They upped the price fast lol...

 

[Maintenance]

Damn, you do like food. I swear I've read another food thread from you today/this week.

Nothing against that, just funny.

 

[VariantX]

BK and Wendy's offerings murder this thing in cold blood. I spend $1 less and I get an extra food item and something to wash the food down with.

 

[Lord Fagan]

I don't understand the grass is greener noise going on in this thread. All the franchises are rocking pretty good deals.

Fuck it, letthemfight.gif

 

[ito007]

The McDonald's offerings are bigger though. 10 piece nuggets with a big Mac for $5 is a steal

 

[shadowsdarknes]

I'm just going to keep getting those 1.49 10 pc Burger King Nuggets.
