Instead of lasting only a few weeks, the cheap dinner will remain available at most U.S. locations, The Associated Press reported.

The meal, which a consumer can pick either a McDouble or McChicken and, with the sandwich, you get a small fry, four-piece Chicken McNuggets and a small drink, was introduced in June and was supposed to last a month.

It was already extended once so keeping it until December is the second extension.

Royal rival Burger King also offers a similar $5 meal deal that was also extended until October, the AP reported.
