Starbucks Introduces $5 Combo Deals to Attract Budget-Conscious Customers

The coffee chain's new Pairings Menu aims to boost sales amid inflation and disappointing earnings.

The Pairings Menu offers a drink and a breakfast item for $5 to $6, with additional charges for customizations.
Starbucks' US sales dropped 3% in the last quarter, with global comparable store sales down 4%.
The new deals follow similar promotions by McDonald's, Wendy's, and Burger King to lure back customers.
CEO Laxman Narasimhan cited a 'challenging operating environment' for the company's recent financial struggles.
The limited-time offer is available in stores only, not for delivery.
