Value menus are seeing a resurgent in the fast food space - and Starbucks has decided to get in on the competition for the lowest prices.
The coffee chain has introduced its own value menu of sorts, called the "Pairings Menu," with a handful of bundling options for Starbucks customers.
The new Starbucks Pairings Menu offers customers bundles for $5 to $7, depending on what they fancy pairing with their coffee.

- For $6, sandwich choices include the Sausage, Cheddar & Egg Sandwich, Bacon, Gouda & Egg Sandwich, Turkey Bacon, Cheddar & Egg White Sandwich, and the Chicken, Maple Butter & Egg Sandwich.
- For $7, the sandwich can be upgraded to a Double Smoked Bacon or Impossible breakfast sandwich.

Value menus make a return
Value meals, promotions and freebies have been the name of the game for several fast food and fast-casual chains as of late as they vie for customer attention and dollars.
Recently, Wendy's announced a $3 breakfast combo, which includes an English muffin sandwich with egg, cheese, and bacon or sausage, and a side of seasoned potatoes. This is on top of weekly free chicken nugget deals through the Wendy's app and limited promotions, like a one-cent Jr. Bacon Cheeseburger from May 28 through June 2 for National Hamburger Day.
McDonald's has also promised a reduction in prices and expressed interest in exploring more ways to win customers back, which includes $5 meal deals and freebies.
Burger King rushed to beat McDonald's to the punch, announcing its own $5 meal deal set to arrive this month.
