Shoppers have discovered a code that instantly reduces a McDonald's meal to £1.99. A Big Mac with regular fries would usually cost £5.28, but using the code, people say they are getting their meals reduced to £1.99.
A video showing how to do it was uploaded to the LatestDeals Tik Tok, where it has been viewed more than 20,000 times. The video claims to show a shopper ordering from one of the digital menus you find in most McDonald's branches these days.
On the top left hand side of the home screen there is a button that says vouchers. Press that, and it will take you to a screen where you need to enter the code.

Type in the numbers 817 336 06, and see what happens. Once you've done this, the video claims, you'll be able to select the meal you want for £1.99.
The meals included are: Big Mac and fries or salad, McChicken Sandwich and fries or salad, or the Vegetable Deluxe and fries or salad. LatestDeals.co.uk tested it and it appeared to work.
But many comments under the Tik Tok video suggested otherwise. With that in mind, we went to try it for ourselves, and it didn't quite work out the same. When reporter Nicole Wootton-Cane tried it at the Manchester Oxford Road McDonald's, it wasn't such a good result.
After Nicole typed the code in, she was met with an error message saying 'Code not recognised'. Boo. Feel free to give it ago in your nearest McDonald's branch, but be warned, you may not be successful.
Earlier this week McDonald's announced that one of its most controversial burgers will be returning to the menu. The McSpicy is returning - but to make way for it, some things are being axed.
The McSpicy, which was last on the McDonald’s menu in July 2021, costs £4.29 for just a burger, or £5.79 for a medium meal. Keep in mind prices will vary across the country.
McDonald’s is also bringing back the Grand Big Mac as part of its latest menu upgrade. The Grand Big Mac comes with the same ingredients as a regular Big Mac, but in a bigger size.
It costs £4.79 just for a Grand Big Mac burger, or £6.29 for a medium meal. If you go for the Grand Big Mac with Bacon, you’ll pay £5.29 for just the burger, or £6.69 for a medium meal.
McDonald’s diners will also be able to tuck into Cheesy Garlic Bites for £1.99 from next week. As for dessert, the fast food chain is bringing back its Flake Raspberry and Flake Chocolate McFlurries, prices at 99p for a mini size of £1.39 for a regular.
But the new menu additions does mean Maccies customers will have to say goodbye to some fan favourites. The Big Tasty will only be available until this Tuesday (April 26) along with its other flavours The Big Tasty with Bacon and The Big Tasty BBQ.
McDonald's will also get rid of the Homestyle Crispy Chicken burger, Chilli Cheese Bites and the Creme Egg McFlurry and Cadbury Caramel McFlurry.
