McDonald's is bringing back the $1 menu, but with a twist

Famous for its dollar menu, McDonald’s is bringing back a new bargain menu that includes $1 items, as well as more expensive items that could cost $2 or even $3.

The new menu will be called the “$1 $2 $3 Menu.”

McDonald’s first launched its dollar menu in the 1990s before tweaking it to include some higher-priced items in 2013 amid a sales dip, according to CNNMoney.

“We built this new menu with variety and value firmly in mind,” said McDonald's USA President Chris Kempczinski, in a statement. “Our new value menu includes surprises like our completely new Classic Chicken sandwich, the inclusion of our Happy Meal and more. Whatever our guests crave – a delicious meal, a new taste, a mid-day snack or a family treat – they will find that $1 $2 $3 Dollar Menu provides them with value and choice.”

So what can you expect to see in the new menu?

For $1:

• Sausage burritos
• McChicken sndwiches
• Cheeseburgers
• Any size soft drink
• For $2:Sausage McGriddles
• 2-piece buttermilk crispy tenders
• Bacon McDouble
• Small McCafe beverage
• For $3:Sausage McMuffin with egg
• New classic chicken sandwich
• Triple cheeseburger
• Happy Meal

The new menu launches on Jan. 4, according to ABC News, and will be a “permanent” part of the company’s meal plan. McDonald’s has made several moves within the last year to bring back customers. The company axed its highly popular Hi-C orange drink in May, replacing it with Sprite TropicBerry instead.

But the company also added a “Frork” device -- a fork made of french fries -- and a new chicken Big Mac sandwich.

The company also expanded with ideas on the international front, adding a delivery service in the United Kingdom and “phone lockers” — where families can lock up their cell phones so they can have a conversation around a McDonald’s dinner — in Singapore locations.

McDonald’s first started seeing a sales slump in 2014. The company added back its all-day breakfast to combat the slump, but it still hasn't recovered, according to USA Today.

The company hopes to expand to 4,000 restaurants by the end of 2018.
