Starbucks Joins Fast Food Value Trend with New $5 Pairings Menu

The coffee chain introduces limited-time breakfast combos as competition heats up among fast food giants.

Starbucks' Pairings Menu offers a tall coffee or tea with a butter croissant for $5, or a breakfast sandwich for $6 or $7.
The new value meals are only available at participating stores and exclude delivery services and customizations.
Competitors like McDonald's, Burger King, and Wendy's have launched similar deals to attract budget-conscious customers.
McDonald's is expected to announce its own $5 meal deal soon, following industry trends.
Starbucks aims to provide affordable breakfast options amid rising fast food prices.
