As fast food prices continue to rise and shrinkflation runs rampant, many people are looking for ways to enjoy their favorite items without breaking the bank. A quick meal from McDonald’s can easily add up, and for those craving classic items like the Big Mac or McChicken, the costs can be even more noticeable. Fortunately, grocery stores like Walmart offer affordable alternatives to fast food staples. These copycat products allow you to recreate the flavors of beloved McDonald’s items from the comfort of your own home, and TikTokers are catching on to the trend.

TikToker Morgan Chomps (@morganchompz) recently went viral for sharing Walmart’s budget-friendly versions of popular McDonald’s menu items, from Big Mac sauce to spicy chicken patties. In her video, she highlights some of the best finds, all of which are available under Walmart’s Great Value and Country Pride brands. Here’s a breakdown of her fast food copycat recommendations.

1. Great Value Secret Sauce

Morgan kicks things off with Walmart’s version of the iconic Big Mac Sauce. She says, "Check out this Great Value Secret Sauce. This has that same creamy, seasoned, and tangy flavor that Big Mac sauce has." And the best part? It’s versatile enough for more than just burgers. She recommends using it in "Big Mac salads, tacos, wraps, and more." If you’re a fan of McDonald’s signature sauce, this one is a must-try.

2. Great Value Breaded Chicken Patties

For those craving McDonald’s McChicken or spicy chicken sandwiches, Walmart has a great alternative in the form of its Great Value breaded chicken breast patties. According to Morgan, "They come in both traditional and spicy, so you can remake both of these iconic chicken sandwiches from McDonald’s." She’s particularly impressed by the spicy option, adding, "The Walmart spicy chicken actually has a kick!" These patties are an easy way to recreate your favorite McChicken at home.

3. Great Value Thin Cut French Fries

McDonald’s French fries are tough to beat, but Walmart’s Great Value thin cut French fries come close. Morgan points out, "While none taste exactly the same as McDonald’s, Great Value’s thin cut French fries are nearly identical." For the best results, she suggests getting them "nice and crispy in the air fryer for the maximum effect." If you’re a McDonald’s fry lover, this might be your new go-to.

4. Country Pride Tempura Chicken Nuggets

Next on Morgan’s list are McDonald’s chicken nuggets, and Walmart’s copycat version can be found under the Country Pride brand. She says, "Check out these tempura chicken nuggets. They’ve got that same tempura coating that McDonald’s have." For that crispy, McDonald’s-style finish, Morgan advises using the air fryer again. These nuggets are perfect for satisfying those fast food cravings at home.

5. Great Value Pork Sausage Patties

Finally, Morgan highlights Walmart’s Great Value pork sausage patties, which she says are a spot-on copy of McDonald’s breakfast sausage. "I’m really picky when it comes to sausage," she admits, "and these don’t give me the meat heebie-jeebies at all. I’m a fan." If you’re a fan of McDonald’s breakfast items, this is a wallet-friendly alternative that doesn’t skimp on flavor.

With these Walmart finds, you can enjoy your favorite McDonald’s-inspired meals at home without the fast food price tag. Whether you're craving a Big Mac, McChicken, or some nuggets, these products offer a convenient and affordable solution to your fast food cravings.
