McDonald’s and Burger King launch discounts – including a double quarter pounder with cheese for £1.99

Both offers last for today only, but the fast-food chains will be launching new daily deals throughout the festive period.

McDonald’s is discounting the bargain Double Quarter Pounder with Cheese through its app today. Usually, it costs £4.69 – meaning a tasty saving of £2.70 or 58%.

The burger is just like the iconic quarterpounder with cheese, but much bigger.

It comes with two beef patties, two cheese slices, fresh onions, pickles and a ketchup / mustard combo.

To take advantage of the offer, you need to have the My McDonald’s app downloaded on your phone.

Once you’re there, click the ‘offers’ button, and you’ll see the deal.

Unfortunately, it’s pick up only, which means you’ll have to go to a McDonald’s restaurant or Drive-Thru and get the food yourself.

If you order for My McDonald’s delivery, or through Just Eat or Uber Eats, you won’t get the discount.

You can find the nearest restaurant using the locator tool.

While we know McDonald’s will be unveiling more deals this Christmas, we don’t yet know what the offers will be.

Check your app daily to see what new bargains appear.

Burger King’s £1 Whopper is part of its 12 Days of Whopper festive celebration.

The chain will be releasing new bargains every day for the first half of December.

Burger King prices can vary from restaurant to restaurant, so how much you save depends on where you are. It says the typical saving on a £1 Whopper is £3.99.
