MCDONALD’S is making a huge change to menus today and customers can get £2 of their favourite food and drinks.
The fast food giant has launched a new update to its Deal Drop for customers on a budget.
Every Monday, fresh offers are introduced in the Rewards and Offers section of the McDonald’s app, ready to be redeemed throughout the week.
The scheme, which first launched on December 30, kicked off with enticing deals such as 20% off the entire menu and £2 off when spending £10.
Last week, parents could enjoy a Happy Meal for just £1.99, down from its usual price of £3.59.
But from today, customers can once again get £2 off all food and drink when they spend £10 or more.
Deal Drop offers are available for redemption via McDelivery, delivering straight to customers’ doors, as well as in-store – all through the McDonald’s app.
This special offer will appear in the Rewards and Offers section of the MyMcDonald’s app and can be redeemed once per customer, either for McDelivery or in-store, until 11.29pm tonight.
The update follows recent changes to McDonald’s menu, which have created a buzz among its loyal customer base.
Maccies brought back the beloved Raspberry and White Chocolate pie on February 12.
The tasty Valentine’s themed snack, which originally debuted in February 2024, costs just £1.99.
It comes with a fluffy pink pastry and is filled to the brim with raspberry compote and white chocolate ganache.
The Philly Cheese stack has also returned, after being previously axed in September 2024.
It includes two huge beef patties slathered with cheese sauce, as well as cheese slices and crispy onions.
The burger costs £5.29 by itself, but Maccies fans can upgrade to a medium sized meal deal for just £6.99.
Fans went wild for the Philly Cheese Stack when it first landed, with some describing it as the “best they’ve ever had”.

The first is the Tropicana apple juice, which has never been sold in the UK stores.
The second is the Mars McFlurry, which consists of dairy ice cream swirled with chocolate-covered nougat and soaked in caramel sauce.
A regular sized shake costs £2.19 and a mini McFlurry is just £1.69.
While all of these delicious treats landed on February 12, they will only be available for a limited time.
The McFlurry will only be available until March 25 and the Philly Cheese Stack and Raspberry and White Chocolate Pie will be available until May 6.
The fast food chain is launching the Shamrock Shake in restaurants for the first time from next month.
Foodies will only be able to pick up the Irish-themed drink from March 12 until March 25.

KREMLIN cronies living it large in London will be banished from the UK under a new Home Office crackdown.
To mark the third anniversary of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, ministers will expand the criteria for exclusion from entering the UK to cover Kremlin-linked elites.
Those who could be barred include anyone who gives “significant support” to Vladimir Putin’s regime and Russians who owe their wealth or status to the state.
Security Minister Dan Jarvis warned that Kremlin elites pose a “real and present danger” to the British way of life.
He slammed swathes of secret cronies for enjoying the benefits of the UK in private while publicly denouncing our values.
And he argued that oligarchs, who live in plush mansions in leafy suburbs across Britain, enable the continuation and expansion of Russia’s aggression.
Since Putin’s bloodthirsty invasion began, the UK’s National Crime Agency has made 84 war-related arrests and seized over £20 million in illicit funds.
Mr Jarvis said: “Border security is national security, and we will use all the tools at our disposal to protect our country from the acute threats Russia poses to us.
“The measures announced today slam the door shut to the oligarchs who have enriched themselves at the expense of the Russian people whilst bankrolling this illegal and unjustifiable war.
“My message to Putin’s friends in Moscow is simple: you are not welcome in the UK.”

PHILIPPE CLEMENT has been sacked by Rangers – but not before time.
SunSport broke the story before anyone else this evening and the Ibrox club officially confirmed the news hours later with a short statement.
They said: “Rangers Football Club can confirm it has tonight parted company with men’s first-team manager, Philippe Clement.
“The club would like to put on record their sincere thanks to Philippe for his hard work and dedication during his spell in charge.
“A further update from the club will follow in due course.”
With a potential takeover looming, some felt Clement would hang on until the end of the season, when the new owners would inevitably appoint their own man anyway.
But his position was simply untenable following the 2-0 loss to St Mirren, a performance the man himself branded the worst of his time in charge.
Steven Gerrard is the early bookies favourite to be the next boss in what would be a stunning return to Glasgow but Russell Martin is also in the frame.
A caretaker manager will be put in place in the meantime, starting with the midweek clash against Kilmarnock at Rugby Park.
But as attention now turns to who could be the 20th permanent manager of Rangers, how have fans reacted to the departure of the 19th?
For some – as our columnist Bill Leckie wrote – it was a case of too little, too late. Clement should have been gone long before now. Just check the scenes from full-time against St Mirren…
“About time,” said one fan on social media.
“Glad he’s gone, but it’s an absolute shambles that it took you this long to tell us. Embarrassing!” wrote another.
Clement’s record as Rangers manager does make for some tough reading.
He had a win percentage of 65 per cent (lower than Michael Beale) and won just one trophy during his 16 months in charge.
One supporter went as far as calling him a FRAUD and that he didn’t understand Scottish football and the demands of a club like Rangers.
They said: “Good. People can make excuses for him all they want but the guy was a fraud.
“18 months and there was no style, no patterns of play, no progress in anything.
“He was arrogant and completely failed to grasp the expectations he was under and what was required in Scottish football.”
Another replied: “He had to go. I don’t feel relief or happiness that he’s gone. The club is in a dire state and it’s another sad day in our history, and ultimately sadness is what I’m feeling. But he had to go.”
Some had a bit more sympathy for the Belgian.
One said: “Sad this is how it’s ended, I genuinely felt this time last year he was the one and I still really like him as a bloke.
“He was dealt a shocking hand but this season we’ve seen he isn’t capable of managing the team despite everything and the way it ended was nasty for all.”
The 50-year-old was also given leeway by some supporters who feel the players and the board let him down.
This fan said: “Now get rid of the underachievers in that squad, and there’s plenty of them. And if this takeover does go ahead, the whole board better be as far away from the club as possible!”
Another called out the board, saying: “Sacking a guy seven months too late, six months after extending his contract and five days after the CEO came out and said he’s here for the European games, sums up this board.
“Another scatter gun decision. They are so far out of their depth it’s almost laughable.”
One fan shared their own personal experience of an encounter with Clement.
They wrote: “All the best mate. Sacked prematurely imo. Cheers for your time on the ferry to Millport. You were very kind and wish you well in your future endeavours. Once a bear always a bear.”
And indeed others wished Clement all the best in the future.
“Thanks for your efforts. There aren’t many tougher gigs in football at the moment,” said one fan.
“Best of luck Phil but need to hire the right man now, said another.
While this fan wrote: “You can get away with poor play if you’re still getting results but not horrible football and bad results combined. I thank Phillipe for the League Cup, the Old Firm win and some genuinely good European matches.”

THIS rare £2 that marks a special occasion for the UK could earn you over £1500.
The gold £2 piece was minted back in 2012 – but it is of historic importance and represents a global event.
The Royal Mint said: “Struck to commemorate the transition of the Olympic Games from London to Rio de Janeiro, the 2012 Olympic Games Handover £2 coin symbolises the passing of the Olympic flag from one host city to another.
“The reverse design, created by Jonathan Olliffe, depicts a baton being passed between two hands, with the flags of the UK and Brazil joined in motion.”
It is also inscribed with ‘I CALL UPON THE YOUTH OF THE WORLD’.
In 2012, London became the first city to host the Olympic Games a whopping three times.
The capital did so in 1908 and 1948 too.
And, in 2012, when it became time to handover the games to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, only a mere 1,200 gold £2 coins were made to commemorate the occasion.
At various coin dealers, the £2’s have been listed at around £1,500.
This is not the only coin that could make their lucky owners a huge profit.
A 2p with a subtle wording mistake – “New Pence” instead of “Two Pence” – could be worth around £1000.
Meanwhile, 50p coins decorated with a cartoon high-jumper for the 2012 London Olympics have been selling for as much as £142 and £216.
Another coin designed for the Games – which was minted with horizontal lines mistakenly etched into it – can fetch an enormous £3000 at auction.
It’s also worth checking the £2 coins lurking in your loose change, as a specific cat design could mean they’re worth over 100 times they’re usual value.
Rare coins and valuable notes can be worth far more than their face value – sometimes thousands of pounds.
But sometimes it’s just small differences that make them so lucrative.
The most valuable coins are often ones with low mintage numbers or an error.
These qualities typically make them valuable to collectors.
It’s always good to remember a rare coin is only worth as much as someone is willing to pay for it.
It might be that someone needs your coin to complete their collection, in which they may be willing to pay more.
There are lots of different factors to consider when trying to value a coin, including its condition and mintage, so it’s important to do your homework first.
If you’ve got a potentially rare coin that you would like to sell at auction, you can contact The Royal Mint’s Collectors Service.
This organisation has a team of experts who can help you to authenticate and value your coin.
You will need to enquire via email, and a member of the valuation team will contact get back to you.
Take a picture of your coin and attach it to the email – you can find all the details on The Royal Mint’s website.
Be wary that you will be charged for this service though – the cost will vary depending on the size of your collection.
