Boo Buckets

McDonald’s

It’s that time of the year again… McDonald’s adorable Happy Meal Boo Buckets are back and they’re better than ever. Starting October 21, fans can choose from returning favorites Ghost, Pumpkin and Goblin, plus two new ghoulie friends, Cat and Zombie. Fans can modify their pails with Halloween themed stickers and the buckets can be used for trick or treating.

Pumpkin Spice Latte

McDonald’s

It’s officially pumpkin spice season and McDonald’s fans still have the option to grab a delicious Pumpkin Spice Latte in stores. “The McCafé® Pumpkin Spice Latte features freshly brewed espresso steamed and spiced to perfection with hints of pumpkin and cinnamon flavors – or try it iced for a cool pick-me-up!” the company says.

Extra Value Meals

McDonald’s

McDonald’s just brought back Extra Value Meals, which customers should be able to access in the restaurant and on the app right now. The meals save customers 15% compared to buying menu items separately, the latest effort from the brand to lure back budget-conscious customers. “Bringing back Extra Value Meals reflects the company and franchisees’ shared commitment to offering everyday affordable prices,” said McDonald’s Owner/Operator and National Franchisee Leadership Alliance (NFLA) Chair Danielle Marasco. “We’re working together to keep the menu items our customers love affordable for everyone in the communities we serve.”
