In honour of National Vegetarian Week, McDonald’s is slashing the prices of its vegetarian menu items to just 99p.
Dishes like the McPlant burger, Veggie Deluxe and Veggie Dippers are all on sale at a hugely reduced price this week as the chain celebrates its new position in the vegetarian market.
It seems funny to think that there was a time when you couldn’t get a veggie or vegan burger at McDonald’s, but the past year has been huge in terms of the chain’s meat-free growth.

At the beginning of the year, the worldwide fast-food chain announced that it would be serving up its first McPlant burger, reports The Hoot.
Now, as we enter National Vegetarian Week, McDonald’s is promoting its meat-free produce once more- but this time at the bargain price of 99p.

This is not the first time that the company has made headlines this week.
Yesterday, news emerged that McDonald’s has said it will be selling off its locations in the country and ‘de-Arching’ the new owners, citing the ongoing ‘humanitarian crisis’ caused by the conflict.
Whilst many companies have announced temporary sanctions on Russia. this move by McDonald’s makes it one of just a handful of global brands to permanently pull out of the country in protest of the war.
National Lottery hunts for Tameside player who’s not claimed £1m winnings

The hunt is on to find a National Lottery player in Tameside who’s won £1m – and not claimed it.
The missing millionaire won the huge prize on a Lotto ticket bought on Wednesday 1 July, somewhere in the Borough of Tameside.
But with just two months to go until the prize expires, the player has still not come forward to claim their winnings.
The winning numbers in were 5, 8, 26, 33, 39, 42 and the Bonus Ball was 54.
Now, the National Lottery is renewing its search for the millionaire, calling for the mystery winner to cash in their prize before it expires at midnight on 28 December.
National Lottery Senior Winners’ Advisor Andy Carter has been out in Tameside ‘hunting’ for the missing millionaire, visiting everywhere from Portland Basin to Hartshead Pike.
Andy said: “I’ve searched high and low across Tameside for our missing millionaire, but I’ve had no luck.

“With just two months left to claim this £1 million prize, now is the time for anyone who bought a Lotto ticket in Tameside for the 1 July draw to have another look.
“The winning ticket could be tucked away somewhere completely ordinary, while its owner has absolutely no idea they are a millionaire.
“We’d love to find the person we’ve been looking for and turn this search into a celebration. So, if you bought a ticket in the area, dig it out, check those numbers and help us find Tameside’s missing millionaire. It could be you.”
With all National Lottery draws, players have 180 days from the day of the draw to claim their prize if they have the winning ticket. Anyone who has any queries or who believes they have the winning ticket for any of the National Lottery draws within the 180-day deadline should call the National Lottery Line on 0333 234 5050 or email [email protected].
