ALBAWABA - McDonald's, the well-known fast-food giant, is introducing a budget-friendly lunch choice for under $5 across all of its American locations in response to the persistent economic difficulties encountered by American customers.

According to NBC News, this affordable meal package may include well-known dishes like the "McChicken" or "McDouble" sandwiches along with a portion of four chicken nuggets, fries, and a drink.

This program is launched against a background of declining consumer expenditure as people manage tighter budgets, especially in the fast-food sector.

In a letter to employees on the company's first-quarter earnings, Chris Kempczinski, the CEO of McDonald's, said that customers are becoming more frugal with their spending due to rising prices and regular costs.
