The happiest of meals (Credits: Getty Images)

Half term is upon us, and if you’re wondering how to keep the kids entertained, there’s nothing a happy meal won’t fix.

And a visit to McDonald’s will be even more budget friendly this week, as the fast food giant is offering diners cheaper ways to eat.

All you need to do is download the McDonald’s app to get access to the discounts.

Customers can bag a Happy Meal for just £1, and if you’re a fan of McDonald’s breakfast (who isn’t?), you can get your hands on a single McMuffin for just £1.19, a saving of 30%.

And Happy Meals are having a spooky makeover for Halloween, with a limited edition spooky Squishmallows Happy Meal, available until October 31.

But, hungry Maccies fans will have to be quick to get the £1 meal. It’s only available on Monday October 22, so it’s a ‘run, don’t walk’ situation.

And, while you’re keeping the little ones happy, you can try out McDonald’s new menu, introduced earlier this month.

Much to the delight of nugget fans across the UK, for the first time ever, you can make your box of nine nuggets a meal, costing £6.69 for a medium and £7.39 for a large.

There’s also a new The Philly Cheese Stack burger (£6.99) for the dairy-lovers, with two succulent beef patties, a cheese sauce, two cheese slices, grilled and crispy onions and pickles served in a toasted bun, and a McCrispy BBQ Smokehouse (£7.39), made with a crispy chicken breast fillet, BBQ sauce, cheddar cheese, and red onion, lettuce.
