McDonald's will offer $1 Egg McMuffin sandwiches Sunday for its 50th anniversary as rivals add surcharges due to nationwide shortage.

McDonald's is offering breakfast lovers the chance to get an Egg McMuffin or Sausage McMuffin with Egg on March 2 to mark 50 years since the launch of the famous sandwich.

CHICAGO — Some food chains have announced surcharges to compensate for a nationwide egg shortage, but McDonald’s intends to avoid scrambling its menu. Michael Gonda, the fast food chain’s North American chief impact officer, wrote in a LinkedIn post on Tuesday that no menu items containing eggs will have a surcharge tacked on by the Golden Arches.
