McDonald's axes popular meal deal as customers say 'shame on you'
Fast food chain McDonald's has pulled its £2.99 sausage and egg McMuffin with a hot drink combo - and customers are not happy about it McDonald's has axed one of its popular breakfast meal deals - leaving customers furious. The fast food chain has pulled its £2.99 sausage and egg McMuffin with a hot drink combo. The disappearance of the deal was flagged by one Reddit user, who posted: '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 person said on X: '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: 'What's happened to your breakfast McMuffin and hot drink deal? Really disappointed it's disappeared from the menu.' A third said: 'No £2.99 McMuffin deal. Big mistake. I'll take my money to Greggs from now on.' It comes after McDonald's launched two new breakfast items last month as part of a new Breakfast Savers Menu across the north of England. It includes a brand new Sausage Sandwich (£1.99) and a savers version of the popular Bacon Roll (£2.19). Some selected McDonald's restaurants across the North also offer a new Breakfast Bundle Deal which comes with a Saver Bacon Roll or Sausage Sandwich, plus a drink, for £2.99. The new Breakfast Savers Menu will also feature fan favourites such as the Cheesy Bacon Flatbread and Hash Browns. 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.' It comes after McDonald's added the "iconic" Big Arch burger earlier this month. The burger, which has been on sale before in Canada, Portugal and Germany, is made with two beef patties, topped with white cheddar cheese slices, crispy onions, fresh onions, shredded lettuce, crunchy pickles, and smothered in signature Big Arch sauce. The Big Arch on its own priced at £7.99, or £9.99 for a medium meal with a side and drink. Cheesy McCrispy and Halloumi Fries are also back on the menu, and for pudding, tuck into the Toffee and Apple Pie or Toffee Crisp McFlurry.
