Subway is launching its first-ever value menu this year, and everything on it is under $5.

For over 60 years, the popular sandwich chain has been the place to quickly grab a foot-long sub, a fresh wrap and gooey cookies. Now, it's making some of its menu favorites even more affordable (which some fans will surely find more enjoyable) with the arrival of its Fresh Value Menu.

"Subway's Fresh Value Menu proves you don't have to choose between eating well and saving money," Dave Skena, chief marketing officer of Subway's North America division, shared in a statement. "Your wallet and stomach deserve freshly-baked bread, real protein and the perfect combination of sauces and hand-chopped veggies – all for under $5."

Its first-ever savings-dedicated menu, unveiled on Tuesday, includes over one dozen freshly prepared entrées-from classic deli subs to its relatively new Protein Pockets.

Subway Launches Its First-Ever 'Fresh Value Menu' Where Everything Is Under $5

The new Fresh Value Menu features 15 different entrée options, which the company has broken down into three categories: Deli Faves (starting at $3.99), Protein Pockets (also starting at $3.99) and the Sub of the Day (about $4.99 each).

According to the April 28 press release, its Deli Faves is a "new collection of deli-inspired six-inch fully-customizable subs." It features builds like the new Spicy Pepperoni sub, Ham & Salami Sub, a classic B.L.T and Subway's Cold Cut Combo.
