McDonald’s currently lists frozen varieties including Frozen Coke, Frozen Coke Zero Sugar and Frozen Fanta flavours. The advertised frozen-drink price is based on a small drink, with the price changing depending on the size selected.
McPops are still referenced in McDonald’s Loose Change Menu conditions as being available throughout the day, but there is no longer a single national Loose Change Menu price listed for them, so check your local restaurant for the current price.
What Time Is the McDonald’s Loose Change Menu Available?
Most daytime Loose Change Menu and value items are available from 10:30am until midnight at participating McDonald’s restaurants.
The breakfast value items have different hours:
- Ham & Cheese Pocket: 4:00am to 11:30am
- Sausage McMuffin: 4:00am to 11:30am
McPops are listed as available throughout the day.
Individual restaurant trading hours can differ, so an item may not be available for the entire advertised serving window at every location.
Can You Get the Loose Change Menu on McDelivery?
No. McDonald’s currently excludes McDelivery from its Loose Change Menu offer.
The menu is available at participating restaurants, with pickup and restaurant ordering options subject to local availability.
Prices and availability can also differ between restaurants. Extra charges may apply if an item is changed or additional ingredients are added.
Do You Need the MyMacca’s App?
The Loose Change Menu is separate from McDonald’s app-exclusive deals and the app-only McSmart Saver.
You do not need to rely on a limited-time MyMacca’s coupon to access the standard Loose Change Menu prices, although the app can be useful for checking what is currently available at your selected restaurant.
McDonald’s also regularly runs separate personalised and limited-time offers through the MyMacca’s app.
What Is the McDonald’s Loose Change Menu?
The Loose Change Menu is McDonald’s Australia’s low-price value menu, featuring selected burgers, desserts, frozen drinks and breakfast products at lower fixed or advertised prices.
The range changes periodically. McDonald’s updated several of its value prices from 1 July 2026, including increasing the Hamburger from $2 to $2.50, the Hot Apple Pie from $2 to $2.50 and the Chicken ’n’ Cheese from $3.50 to $4.
That means older Loose Change Menu price lists published before July 2026 may no longer be accurate.

could maccas do some meal deals like hj please
The double beef and bacon is now gone. Anyone know if they have replaced it, as they usually have a cheap burger deal?
The macas app rewards section has better deals than the lose change menu, you cant go wrong with 2 small big mac meals for $8 or $9 but the best deal of all is the 25% deals. When i get that deal pop up i go and use the kiosk type in my code and get the $40 family box for $32. The family boxes are not available on the app but you can use the code and order a family box through the kiosk inside, thats my way around it.
KFC also has good deals if you know what to get through the app, they have a cheap as chips meal for around $21 and you can change around the sides to the ones you want or even add 2 extra sides for $6 and throw in 2 zinger burger combos for $14. You can really get a feast at KFC if you know what to look for on the app.
How do you access the ‘loose change menu’ from their self serve kiosks? I go there and theres no option and any of the items/meals on the loose change menu are only under their usual menu with no discount. HJ’s has a horrible app and KFC are a rip off 9/10 but they’ll be getting my smoko money until maccas fix their shit.
They quicly remove specials so I prefer HJ.
The chicken n cheese isn’t good value. You can buy a McChicken pattie on its own for $2.
The $1 burger is now $2.50. Wish they’d stop messing with the pricing!
No.
Seems like, at least in some areas, the $1 hamburger deal has ended.
Went for my usual two $1 hamburgers today. Girl said ‘They’ve finished that special – it was too great a deal.” Here I see that the Official Site still has them for $1. Will check site before going again!
What about a new gluten free menu, there are so many of us that would love to have a gluten free treat from McDonalds.
The BLT is $2.50, not $2.
I now take my little girl to Hungry Jack’s on the weekend because it is a third of the price of McDonald’s. McDonald’s has become such a rip off and they must be losing a stack of customers. Seriously, who would pay $13 for a Angus burger meal from Macca’s when you can go out and eat a pub meal at those prices.
Also compare Aussie prices to the US. We pay double what they pay.
Man, you are paying for the quality. I don’ know anyone that eats hungry jack anymore because everybody knows its shit quality. Also you shouldn’t be feeding any of this shit to children. And the U.S. pays less because their dollar value is better and they don’t have a GST.
Mate you are fucking retarded, everyone knows maccas is a rip off with their tiny burgers, and quality? Bwahahahah what a load of bs! The burgers really are bigger and better at hungry jacks.
lol not sure what planet you’re from but mcdonalds is the worst
You go to maccas choosing to buy the expensive meals and you can get 4 for 4$ i went to hungry jacks and got a meal any it was 14.50 like theirs exactly the same , go to hj and get their “loaded fries ” $4.95 go to maccas and get their “loaded fries ” 3.15
Disagree. Check out the HJ vouchers. Sign up email and you get $1 onion rings, 2 whoppers for $7.95, etc. all by showing your mobile phone. Dominos also has good deals online. These vouchers are for the fans. Wish maccas or KFC did same for their fans. Miss those Big Macs but not when they burn such a big hole in my pocket.
Menus oit of date, most items were removed, the cones and Mcbites had price rises (60c and 2.50)
Goodbye Maccas: Hello Hungry’s
Maccas, you have lost me & my family, sorry . U have done away with the $5.00 Meal Deal. We went in, & we bought less, & , OMG ! it cost us nearly twice as much.
Double beef and bacon has been removed. Maccas usually have a deal of this nature, anyone know of the new deal?
The maccas I was at had Hash browns back up to $2.15 and they now have sour grape frozen fanta replacing sour blueberry.
Honestly the Maccas loose change nenu is rubbish now since they removed all the beef burgers from it
Thanks for the comments Glenn. I’ve noticed that Macca’s have removed the Hash Brown off the loose change menu since the Monopoly promo started.
