McDonald\u2019s<\/a> fans have been sharing their outrage online after spotting that the popular fast food chain<\/a> has raised some of its prices recently.<\/p>\n

Customers took to Reddit<\/a> to claim that Fries, Happy Meals<\/a> and the Wrap of the Day deal all cost more in July than they had in previous months. <\/p>\n

But after taking a closer look at the menu<\/a>, it seems these aren\u2019t the only items that have had a price hike.<\/p>\n

Chicken Nuggets, Big Macs<\/a> and Wraps have all become a little more expensive, with noticeable changes to the Saver Menu<\/a> as well.<\/p>\n

How have McDonald’s prices changed?<\/h2>\n

In 2023, a Double Cheeseburger<\/strong> cost just \u00a31.99, but by the end of 2024, it was \u00a32.29. In July 2025 on the McDonald\u2019s app it\u2019s gone up again to \u00a32.49. <\/p>\n

Similarly, a Big Mac <\/strong>was \u00a34.69 in June, but it\u2019s now \u00a34.89 on the McDonald\u2019s app and \u00a35.59 to order via Deliveroo.<\/p>\n

A nine-piece box of Chicken McNuggets<\/strong> cost \u00a35.09 to order from McDonald\u2019s in June 2025, but in July the price has risen to \u00a35.19 on the McDonald\u2019s app and \u00a36.19 on Deliveroo.<\/p>\n

In terms of the Saver Menu, most items have become 10p more expensive, with Small Fries<\/strong> rising from \u00a31.19 to \u00a31.29, the Mayo Chicken<\/strong> going from \u00a31.39 to \u00a31.49 and the classic Hamburger<\/strong> now costing \u00a31.29 instead of \u00a31.19.<\/p>\n

A small Americano or White Coffee<\/strong> has risen from \u00a31.39 to \u00a31.49 and small soft drinks<\/strong> are \u00a31.29 as opposed to the previous price of \u00a31.19. <\/p>\n

The Mini Core McFlurry<\/strong>, like Smarties and Oreo have also gone up. They were \u00a31.29 each, but according to the McDonald\u2019s app they\u2019re now \u00a31.49.<\/p>\n

Another noticeable price change is on the Katsu Wrap<\/strong>, which launched at McDonald\u2019s UK in December 2024. <\/p>\n

At the end of 2024 and start of 2025 it was \u00a33.49 as a single item and \u00a35.29 as part of a meal, but it\u2019s now \u00a33.79 on its own and \u00a35.39 for a meal. <\/p>\n

And yes, the Wrap of the Day deal <\/strong>has also gotten pricier, changing from \u00a31.99 earlier this year to \u00a32.29 now.<\/p>\n

What do customers think of the price increases?<\/h2>\n

Taking to the r\/McDonald\u2019sUK sub on Reddit<\/a>, fans of the chain claimed they were \u2018done\u2019 after seeing some of the new prices.<\/p>\n

A user known as u\/HawaiiNintendo815 said: \u2018Chippy food is far better priced than McDonald\u2019s and you\u2019re getting way more food for just a bit more money.\u2019<\/p>\n

And u\/ThrowawaySunnyLane responded to the Wrap of the Day change, proclaiming: \u2018If that\u2019s nationwide, I\u2019m done with Maccies, that was my last little pleasure with them.\u2019<\/p>\n

Similarly, u\/4kreso wasn\u2019t happy, writing: \u2018Damn we got two large Big Arch and two McFlurry as and was \u00a332. Literally done with McDonald\u2019s now. There\u2019s no justification for these increases.\u2019<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\"The\t<\/div>

While u\/mr_xcoii commented: \u2018First they took away Chili Double Cheeseburger & Triple Cheeseburger and now they increase every price, f**k McDonald\u2019s actually.\u2019<\/p>\n

However, some users pointed out that the delivery price was always going to be higher when ordering fast food, with u\/Virtual_Remote_8467 posting: \u2018That’s the delivery price. You’re going to pay more, as they have to pay the delivery companies commission on the orders.\u2019<\/p>\n

While u\/colawarsveteran was tired of people complaining, adding: \u2018Why keep moaning. Just stop buying!\u2019<\/p>\n
