If you are a fan of burgers—and a good deal—then get ready. Wendy’s is bringing back its wildly popular Jr. Bacon Cheeseburger for just 1 cent from May 28 through June 1. Yes, that is five straight days of cheeseburger goodness for just a penny.

Here’s how to do it:

1. Download or open the Wendy’s app (or go to Wendys.com).
   
2. Sign into your account or create one (free and quick).
   
3. Add anything to your cart—even just a small drink.
   
4. Add a Jr. Bacon Cheeseburger, then apply the mobile offer.
   
5. Checkout and enjoy your nearly free burger.
   

You can only use the deal once per order, but nothing is stopping you from coming back each day during the promo window.

What comes on the Jr. Bacon Cheeseburger?

Wendy’s Jr. Bacon Cheeseburger is a fan favorite for a reason. It comes with:

• A fresh, never frozen beef patty
  
• Two slices of crispy Applewood smoked bacon
  
• American cheese
  
• Lettuce, tomato, and mayo
  
• Served on a warm, toasted bun
  

It is not just cheap—it is tasty.

Why is wendy’s offering this deal again?

Wendy’s first dropped the 1-cent burger deal last year, and it was a massive hit. This time, they are bringing it back to kick off their “100 Days of Summer” campaign with a bang. Expect more discounts and limited-time offers to roll out over the next few months.

In a statement, Wendy’s said they want to “help fans celebrate the best time of the year with big flavors and even bigger deals.”

Can you use the 1-cent burger deal in-store?

Not exactly. The offer must be redeemed online or through the Wendy’s app, even if you plan to pick it up in-store or go through the drive-thru. Just place your order digitally and select your pickup method.

Are there other burger deals for National Hamburger Day?

Yes, Wendy’s is not the only one showing love to burger fans. Other chains like McDonald’s, Burger King, and Shake Shack often drop deals for National Hamburger Day as well.

But let’s be real—a 1-cent burger is hard to beat.
