Satisfy your midday McDonald’s cravings without breaking the bank!
Starting September 12th, McDonald’s Japan will introduce a Value Lunch Menu that allows you to eat cheap during the midday rush. A Big Mac or Chicken Fillet and a small drink will only cost you 400 yen (USD$3.85).
You can also get a Teriyaki McBurger, Double Cheeseburger, or Filet-O-Fish Set with one side menu item and a medium drink for only 550 yen (USD$5.29). In the end, you’ll actually only save 50 – 80 yen (USD$0.48-0.77) total, but any savings are worth it, we suppose.
Lunch time starts at 10:30 a.m. and ends at 2:00 p.m. The menu won’t be available at every McDonald’s in Japan, so make sure to check your target McDonald’s before you go!
