Hot on the heals of its successful $5 Meal Deal amid rising food costs across the U.S., McDonald’s is launching a new platform for affordable eats called McValue.

Starting on Jan. 7, Mickey Ds will offer its new McValue menu, which will include a number of options for customers looking to save a buck or two, the fast food restaurant announced in a news release on Friday.  

"Get ready for a new year, new menu," the company said.

McValue will include the $5 Meal Deal. Launched in June as a limited-time offer, the company extended it because of its popularity. McValue will also include a new Buy One, Add One for $1 offer on certain popular items, like the Sausage McMuffin and Double Cheeseburger.

“When it comes to value, we know there’s no one-size-fits-all. We’ve worked closely with our franchisees to create a new platform that will let our customers define value on their own terms,” Joe Erlinger, president of McDonald’s USA, said in a statement. “From deals on their personal go-to order to universal favorites like the $5 Meal Deal, we’re excited to give fans more ways to save every time they visit one of our restaurants.”
