Shoppers can purchase a croissant along with their breakfast for five dollars.

Americans who hate coffee can choose a breakfast tea or iced tea as part of the chain’s Pairings Menu promotion.

Customers can opt for a breakfast sandwich and a large ice cream or hot coffee for six dollars.

Americans who want a coffee or cold drink along with a smoked bacon sandwich will have to shell out $7.

Alternatively, they can choose the brand’s Impossible Sandwich.

This is a combination of plant-based faux sausage patty, cage-free egg, and cheese sandwiched in a ciabatta bun.

Starbucks only announced the menu on June 11, but it has already attracted criticism.

“If they can still do money By offering these prices, imagine how much they have been deceiving you all these years”, said one of them online.

There is no evidence that Starbucks engaged in price gouging.

Customers were confused about where they could get value for money, as reported by Fox Business.

“Where exactly is the value?” another buyer said.

The deal was even derided as a McDonald’s Happy Meal for adults.

And others were apoplectic that Starbucks was only offering one large drink in the promotion.

“No way? What is this? I feel like I’ve been taken for a ride,” said one customer.

They urged Starbucks to reconsider, offering a large drink as part of the promotion.

The US Sun has reached out to Starbucks for comment.

Meanwhile, McDonalds is set to launch its $5 value deal.

It’s a month-long promotion and is scheduled to begin on June 25th, so CNBC.

“We know how much it means to our customers when McDonald’s delivers significant value and communicates it through national advertising,” a spokesperson told the outlet.

Earlier this year, fast food boss Chris Kempczinski revealed how he wants the brand to continue ensuring value for money for low-income customers.

The renowned brand came under fire after reports surfaced that Big Mac Combo deals were sold for $18 at a Connecticut restaurant.

Wendy’s bosses were forced to deny reports that prices would rise after bosses announced new investments in dynamic pricing.

Fears grew that fast food prices would rise depending on demand.

A spokesperson for the network said The Washington Post that this wouldn’t happen.

“We have no plans to do this and would not increase prices when our customers visit us more frequently,” they said.
