Each price is the average of the latest listing at each sampled location, equal weight per location. These are not in-store, official or national prices. Nutrition cells stay 'Not verified' until a figure is taken from the official U.S. McDonald's product page and recorded with a check date.
The Medium meal adds $4.32–$4.38 over the sandwich alone for all three (same channel and window).
Sizing a meal from Medium to Large added $0.97–$1.14 in the delivery averages.
Pick your own 2–4 variants
Choose a specific size or serving for each slot: a Medium French Fries, a 10 pc. McNuggets Meal at Large, a Small latte. A variant always means one serving type, so an item and its meal never share a column.
- Choose 2 to 4 variantsEach slot lists items by serving: sandwich, meal size, piece count or drink size.
- Read the context row firstEvery price shows its channel and observation window. If the selected prices do not share them, the tool shows a warning and no value figure.
- Treat blanks as unknownA missing price reads Price not verified and a missing nutrient reads Not verified. Neither counts as zero, and neither is ranked as lowest.
- Share or start overA selection can be shared as a link. Those links are marked noindex and point their canonical URL back to this page, so search engines do not see endless duplicate comparisons.
The picker needs JavaScript. Without it, every comparison on this page still shows in full, and the nutrition explorer lists every variant in one searchable HTML table.
Ready-made comparison: McNuggets by box size
All McNuggets sizes and mealsPiece counts are printed in the product names, so price per piece is a fair calculation here. All five boxes are classic McNuggets, item only, in the same channel and window.
| Item | Variant / size | Type | Price | Per piece | Calories |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Chicken McNuggets | 4 pc. | Item | $3.60 | $0.900 | Not verified |
| Chicken McNuggets | 6 pc. | Item | $4.94 | $0.823 | Not verified |
| Chicken McNuggets | 10 pc. | Item | $7.13 | $0.713 | Not verified |
| Chicken McNuggets | 20 pc. | Item | $10.56 | $0.528 | Not verified |
| Chicken McNuggets | 40 pc. | Item | $18.25 | $0.456 | Not verified |

Per-piece figures are price ÷ pieces, rounded to a tenth of a cent. Sauces, meals and fries bundles are excluded so every row is the same serving type.
In these averages, the 40 pc. box cost about half as much per piece as the 4 pc. box ($0.456 vs $0.900).
Ready-made comparison: French Fries by size
The same product in three sizes. A price-per-ounce figure is not shown, because we have not recorded official serving weights for each size.

Size steps are simple differences between delivery averages. Without verified serving weights, a bigger size cannot be called better value here.
When the tool calculates value, and when it refuses
A cheaper number is only meaningful if the prices were collected the same way. These are the rules the comparison applies to every selection.
Same channel
Every price in the current dataset is a DoorDash delivery listing. If in-store or app observations are added later, they will not be set against delivery prices in a value figure.
Same window
All current prices come from Aug 19–Sep 29, 2026, though some items were last observed in August. Older observations will be kept separate rather than merged into a current range.
Regular vs promotional
A deal price is never compared with a regular menu price as if both were standard. Promotions are covered on the deals pages.
A countable unit
Price per piece or per cookie appears only when the count is part of the product, as with McNuggets boxes or cookie packs. Calories per dollar appear only when the calorie figure is verified.
Item vs meal
A sandwich and a meal are different servings. The tool will show them side by side, but labels each one and never treats the meal's fries and drink as free.
Unknowns stay unknown
A missing nutrient is never read as zero. A variant with no verified sodium figure cannot appear lowest in sodium.
Each item's average comes from the locations where that item was listed, and those sets of locations can differ from item to item. Matching channel and window makes prices comparable enough for rough math, not identical. One restaurant's menu may differ from both averages. Check your local price in the official restaurant locator or the McDonald's app.
One sampled location listed Reduced Sugar Berry Blast with Sprite Zero Sugar at $99.00 in every size, which inflates that drink's averages. The tool flags this item and computes no value figure for it.
Building a whole order instead?
The meal builder adds items, sizes, drinks and sauces into an estimate, and flags any total that has missing figures. Browse every variant first in the nutrition explorer or the full menu price table.
