This deal is Golden Arches meets Golden Balls... McDonald's has partnered with UK football associations to run a series of free football sessions for kids aged 5-11 over the coming months.

If your child has a goal of being the next David Beckham or Leah Williamson, you can score these free coaching lessons now. The sessions are taking place at over 1,600 locations on selected dates from now until Sunday 27 July, and include one-hour coaching each week from FA-qualified coaches.

Sessions for England, Wales and Northern Ireland can be booked now. However, McDonald's told us the Scotland bookings will be available from Saturday 22 March.

There's no obligation to buy or eat anything at McDonald's in order to get these sessions – they're totally free to attend – you just need to pre-book online by filling in the form at McDonald's 'Fun Football' and selecting which centre you'd like to attend.

You can register for up to five children, and it's mainly aimed at those who aren't currently playing, with sessions focussing on basic footballing technique. You'll need to provide your own suitable footwear and football clothing. Pan-disability and visual impairment sessions will also be available.

McDonald's told us kids can attend as many sessions as they please (there's no limit on attendance), but slots are booked on a first-come, first-served basis so go quick if there's a certain date or time you want to attend.

See McDonald's for full terms & conditions and frequently asked questions.

Gets a burger, fries, nuggets and a drink

If you're bored of sarnies and crisps and fancy a hot meal deal, you can now head to McDonald's and get four items for £5.

There's currently no end date to this deal, and it runs daily from 11am until restaurant closing time. You don't need a code or voucher to claim, simply tell staff you want to order the £5 meal deal offer, or you can order it via kiosks or the McDonald's app.

The meal deal gets you a burger – either the mayo chicken or cheeseburger (both normally £1.39) – medium fries (normally £1.69), a medium carbonated drink (normally £1.59) and four chicken nuggets (this amount of nuggets isn't normally available on the main menu but McDonald's told us four nuggets would be worth £2.79).

If you bought these items individually, it would cost £7.46. Or, alternatively a medium mayo chicken saver meal (includes fries and a drink, but no chicken nuggets) costs £3.99, depending on your location. Considering this, we think this is a pretty good deal.

New offers weekly

For new and existing My McDonald's app users

McDonald's runs an ongoing weekly promotion that sees a new offer appear in the My McDonald's app (Apple / Android) every Monday morning, which can be redeemed up until 11.59pm the same day. Check the details, or turn notifications on, as some deals only apply during breakfast hours, for example. They're only available when you order through the app to pick up in-store – see 'More info' below for excluded restaurants.

A few offers we've spotted in the past include six nuggets for 99p, £1.99 Double McMuffins and a Quarter Pounder with Cheese for £1.49.

Simply go to the 'Rewards & Offers' section within the app, tap the promotion you want to use, place your order and then head to your chosen McDonald's to collect it. You can order your food at any time – McDonald's will start to prepare it when you arrive at the restaurant. You're only able to use one promotion per order, and they can't be used with other offers.

Including £2.70 off a 'McChicken sandwich'

McDonald's is already fairly cheap, but it's possible to hack your way through the menu to get some extra McBang for your McBuck.

Choose from a variety of food including fries, cheeseburger, nuggets and salad

They say good things come in threes, and this offer is no exception. If you order in a restaurant or at the drive-thru, you can get three items for £3 at McDonald's until Tuesday 27 August.

This offer runs daily from 11am until restaurant closing time. There's no code or voucher needed, simply tell staff you want to order the three for £3 offer, or you can order it via kiosks or the McDonald's app. You can mix 'n' match from any of the following items:

Small fries (normally £1.19)
Apple pie (normally £1.79)
Mayo chicken (normally £1.39)
Cheeseburger (normally £1.39)
Two veggie dippers (normally £2.79)
Hamburger (normally £1.19)
Side salad (normally £1.09)
Four chicken nuggets (normally £3.49)

We based these prices on the McDonald's closest to MoneySavingExpert HQ in central London, though prices can vary depending on location.

To maximise this deal, it makes sense to get the most expensive item which is the four chicken nuggets. You could get it three times meaning you'll get 12 nuggets for £3 (six are usually £4.69) – if you can stomach that many nuggets of course.

You can also get this offer via McDelivery but it's priced at £4 not £3, so you're better off ordering at a restaurant. It's also available via food delivery partners but this will incur a delivery charge too.

Update Wednesday 22 May: Despite this deal running until Sunday 14 July, many of the sessions are now fully booked. In some cases, you can join a waiting list should a spot become available. Some locations still have limited availability so book quickly to avoid disappointment.

This deal is Golden Arches meets Golden Balls... McDonald's has partnered with UK football associations to run a series of free football sessions for kids aged 5-11.

If your child has a goal of being the next David Beckham or Leah Williamson, you can score these free coaching lessons now (excluding Northern Ireland, which will launch later on). The sessions are taking place at over 1,500 locations on selected dates from Saturday 6 April until Sunday 14 July, and include one-hour coaching each week from FA-qualified coaches.

Update: Sessions for England and Wales can be booked now. However, McDonald's told us there is currently a technical issue with Scotland bookings, which it said it is working to fix. Sessions for Northern Ireland are not available yet but McDonald's says they will launch 'before summer', and we'll update here when they do.

Free protection for all shopping!

There's a little-known piece of legislation that turns any credit card into a financial self-defence superhero. 'Section 75' of the Consumer Credit Act means your plastic must protect anything you buy for more than £100 for free, so if there's a problem or the company goes bust, you can still get your money back.
And although Section 75 doesn't apply to debit cards, there is something else to fall back on if you've paid using a debit card, or used a credit card for a purchase under £100. Known as Chargeback, this is part of banks' and card companies' internal rules and not a legal requirement. Read full details of Section 75 or Chargeback, plus how to claim, in our guides.

If a link has an * by it, that means it is an affiliated link and therefore it helps MoneySavingExpert stay free to use, as it is tracked to us. If you go through it, it can sometimes result in a payment or benefit to the site. It's worth noting this means the third party used may be named on any credit agreements.
You shouldn’t notice any difference and the link will never negatively impact the product. Plus the editorial line (the things we write) is NEVER impacted by these links. We aim to look at all available products. If it isn't possible to get an affiliate link for the top deal, it is still included in exactly the same way, just with a non-paying link.
