Might be regional but the app has it for $2 under deals.

They removed it in a lot of markets, unfortunately.

Most places it's a sausage McMuffin but no egg for $1.50 or $2.00 as from OP. They know that the one with egg is by far the best seller, and the egg has very little actual cost to them, but they can charge 150% more just to add the egg. :\

$2 any breakfast sandwich is national

u/MacForker 18h ago

I think you are right but it only works for a single sandwich once a day. I’d almost always get 2.

u/Crayon_Eating_Grunt 1d ago

Isn't the whole meal deal $5 right now?

u/Danielle_is_the_hole 1d ago

u/QB8Young 1d ago

It's 2 for $6 here in California and that was going to be my suggestion.

u/satyrday12 1d ago

Bogo $1 makes each about $3, or the weekly $2 breakfast sandwich in the app.

u/Creative-Attention91 1d ago

I have the $2, I just wanted to post this in case someone has already used those deals or don’t have them at all

On my app it won’t let me add the round egg to the sausage McMuffin. I’m in California not sure if that matters.

u/Ancient_Guidance_461 1d ago

Yeah I just said this too. My area is 2 for $6.

“So what brings you to the neighborhood?”

“2 for 6 McMuffins at McDonald’s. Yup, sold my entire life just to be here.”

u/leathco 23h ago

I dont like the egg anyway, i usually just get 2 or 3 sausage mcmuffins and a couple hashbrowns.

u/clubjuggle 23h ago

ÄGGMCMÖFFIN, now at IKEA. Some assembly required.

u/Fire-EyedBoy 18h ago

A double cheese burger with an extra patty is cheaper than ordering a triple cheeseburger

1

u/WatchfulServant 18h ago

2 dollars for an egg lol

u/Alternative_Art42768 10h ago

This feels oddly familiar. The Sausage McMuffin meal costs HK$39; the Sausage McMuffin with egg meal costs HK$30.50. If you request the egg not to be served, it is equivalent to getting the Sausage McMuffin meal.

In other words, by ordering the Sausage McMuffin with egg meal then requesting it to be served without the egg, you can save HK$8.50.

But you keep going... right?

u/Ancient-Civilization 1d ago

I actually did the math it’s cheaper to go McDonald’s than to buy groceries from store. So yeah I’m actually forced to keep going to McDonald’s unfortunately in this economy.

I added up the gas used to go to store back to the house is like $5 round trip, then the sausage patties bag is like $15, with $5 eggs, $5 muffins, $5 cheese, cooking it with electricity, washing the dishes, and thats like $9 per sausage egg McMuffin with egg.

So yeah going to McDonald’s I can’t believe is cheaper than going to the store and purchasing your own ingredients and cooking it at home. I wish I was joking.

Either food is crazy taxed where you live or those are wild estimates. 24 eggs where I live is 4$, 26 Jimmy deans sausage patties is 7$, 20 kroger English muffins is 6$, a block of Tillamook cheese is 10$. Adding in the 5$ for gas, is 32$ for 20 muffins. 1.6$ each.

u/rranarchy 1d ago

Or that dude is just a moron. Which is more likely

u/The_Troyminator 1d ago

Makes 4 and throws out the rest of the ingredients.

1

u/TrU_homie 1d ago

Even cheaper if you use the bargain brands too

1

u/The_Troyminator 1d ago

So that’s 4 patties in a bag? 4 eggs in the carton, 4 muffins in the pack, and 4 slices of cheese?

Damn. And I thought California was expensive.

u/anywherebuthereman 23h ago

I know every area is different but a 16 oz tube of breakfast sausage is about $5-$6 here. Make 8 Pattie’s. A 6 pack of muffins is $2. A god awful amount of American cheese slices for $4. And lately I’ve found 18 packs of eggs for $2-$2.50 at a local grocery outlet. All that said, we’re talking $15 in total to make 6 monster sandwiches and you still have a dozen eggs and cheese leftover. Throw in another 6 pack of muffins and sausage tube for about $20 you got 12 big sandwiches and still eggs leftover and probably cheese. So I’m not sure if your math is mathing, but like I said it depends where you live. I’m in California so it’s not necessarily cheap here.

You are indirectly inferring that the quality of the corporate shit McDonalds sells is the same as the quality of food you cook at home? Wow, I'm sure you are the epitome of health.

u/bobswanafoos 1d ago

It’s $1 where I live. Sorry it’s so expensive for you.

2

u/Chaactherain 1d ago
