Get a McDonald's breakfast sandwich for $1 on Sunday for Egg McMuffin Day. How to redeem.
With the Oscars right around the corner, fans may want to start the day with a breakfast treat. McDonald's is offering Egg McMuffins and Sausage McMuffins with Egg for just $1 on Sunday, when ordered through the McDonald's app. Deemed Egg McMuffin Day, the celebration honors the breakfast sandwich's 50th anniversary. As some food chains have announced surcharges to items containing eggs, due to the nationwide egg shortage, McDonald's promised prices will not rise. "Unlike others making news recently, you definitely won't see McDonald's USA issuing surcharges on eggs, which are 100% cage-free and sourced in the U.S," McDonald's Chief Impact Officer Michael Gonda wrote in a LinkedIn post on Tuesday. Herb Peterson, a McDonald's franchisee in Santa Barbara, California, is the brains behind the Egg McMuffin, introduced in 1975. Herb, according to a news release, presented a to-go version of the Eggs Benedict to Ray Kroc, the businessman who transformed McDonald's into what folks know it as today. "When I watched my father introduce this idea to Ray Kroc, we could not have anticipated it would become the foundation for the renowned McDonald's breakfast menu," David Peterson, Herb's son and McDonald's owner and operator, said in a news release. "It's been remarkable to see people embrace this innovation over the last five decades, and now we get to share that heritage with a new generation of breakfast fans." The Egg McMuffin, made with an English Muffin, egg, Canadian Bacon, American cheese, salted butter and clarified butter, is 310 calories. $1 Egg McMuffins isn't the only deal McDonald's is offering this month.
