One said on Reddit.com: 'The only thing I would get from McDonald's recently would be the £2.99 sausage and egg McMuffin and a drink deal.
"Now that's disappeared from my local, I can't justify the prices on anything else!'
Another said on X.com, formerly known as Twitter: 'McMuffin and Hot Drinks deal needs to be brought back.
"It was a lifesaver for people who are tight on money.
'I went to Lichfield this morning and was shocked to see it's no longer there. Went to @GreggsOfficial instead.'
A third added: 'What's happened to your breakfast McMuffin and hot drink deal? Really disappointed it disappeared from the menu.
'It just sends me and others to @GreggsOfficial who do an amazing breakfast deal.'
Meanwhile, a fourth fan fumed: 'Shame on you for taking £2.99 sausage egg McMuffin & hot drink deal off!!
'Do you know how many struggling UK citizens relied on this for a substantial breakfast? Now at £5, it's out of their range.'
Another said: 'Rip McMuffin and coffee breakfast deal, you will be missed.'
McDonald's launches brand-new burger featuring never-before-seen sauce
It's understood the deal was a limited offer in participating stores, meaning it wasn't a permanent menu fixture.
Last year, the same items were available for £2.79, but the 20p price rise didn't put fans off.
Buying the same items would now cost around £4.80, with a sausage and egg McMuffin priced at £3.39 and a regular white coffee is £1.39.
McDonald's is currently offering its Breakfast Saver Menu, which in some branches includes a separate £2.99 deal for a Saver Bacon Roll and a drink.
A McDonald's spokesperson told The Sun: 'We know how much our customers enjoy our iconic breakfast offerings and it was great to see the popularity of that Breakfast Deal.
"We're always evolving our menu to keep things fresh and exciting for our customers, and we regularly review our Saver Menu to ensure it offers choice for all.'
In comparison, Greggs offers a breakfast roll meal deal for £2.85.
This includes a breakfast roll with one filling as well as a regular hot drink or a 250ml bottle of orange juice.
Other McDonald's news
It comes as McDonald's fans were devastated after the chain stopped selling its triple cheeseburger.
McDonald's also axed several items last week to make way for the new menu offering.
Among them were the Cheesy Garlic Bread Dippers, Lotus Biscoff McFlurry, Steakhouse Stack and McSpicy x Frank's RedHot.
The menu update comes after the fast food chain discontinued the Chicken Bacon Caesar Wrap last month.
McDonald's said it was part of a 'rotation' of its wrap offering.
The wrap, which combined chicken breast strips, crispy onions, rashers of bacon and lettuce, was first launched in summer 2023.
Meanwhile, Tesco has axed its Pink and Cloudy Lemonade in a blow to fizzy drink fans.
Tesco's Cloudy Lemonade is also being replaced with a new product called Lemon Zero.

Scottish housebuilder axes more than 20 jobs as employees face ‘worry and uncertainty'
It is the second time in two years the firm has been forced to make redundancies JOBS AT RISK Scottish housebuilder axes more than 20 jobs as employees face 'worry and uncertainty' Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A SCOTTISH housebuilding firm is set to axe more than 20 jobs as its employees face "worry and uncertainty". Scotia Homes, based in Ellon, Aberdeenshire, announced it will make the cuts following £2.5million in pre-tax losses. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 1 Scotia Homes announced that it is set to axe up to 25 jobs Credit: Alamy The firm has built homes across northeast Scotland and beyond for over three decades and currently employs 168 people. This is the second time in two years Scotia Homes has been forced to make redundancies. Joint managing director Richard Begbie said the decision to downsize was in response to "current market conditions". Up to 25 jobs are under threat - the majority of which will be made at head office. Mr Begbie told The Press and Journal: "As widely reported, the housebuilding sector is currently facing significant challenges due to a range of external factors. "In response to these market conditions, we are taking proactive steps to ensure the continued strength of our business. "As part of this strategy, we are proposing changes to our workforce structure. We deeply value the contributions of our team, and this decision has not been made lightly. "Scotia Homes remains dedicated to delivering quality homes and building vibrant communities, and these changes will help position us for future growth and continued success in a rapidly evolving market. "It is anticipated that those affected by redundancy will be less than 25 employees." Gordon and Buchan Tory MP Harriet Cross said: "I'm deeply concerned by these redundancies at Scotia Homes and the impact this could have on construction across the north-east. Homebase is set to close ten of its stores, which will soon be taken over by a major supermarket chain "More immediately, this announcement will bring worry and uncertainty for the employees at Scotia whose jobs are at risk, and I hold them in my thoughts at this time. "As one of the biggest house builders in the region, this announcement underlines the significant issues facing the sector, with challenging market conditions causing financial difficulties. "Towns such as Ellon rely on the employment of companies such as Scotia and a local firm making cutbacks like this is a real blow to the area. "I will now be seeking a meeting with the company to discuss this decision and what actions can be taken to mitigate any future job losses.'
