    Because of their prices I’d basically given up on Taco Bell except for the value menu. But now every item that was $1 jumped to $1.5 (and everything else went up with it) so I’m cutting out Taco Bell completely. A few months back one of their limited time offers was $5 but when ordered à la carte was $12.47 – that kinda revealed just how (unreasonably) skewed their profit margins must be.

      It used to be $5-10 to feel gross and full, now it’s $15-20 and takes 15 minutes both inside or drive through. I haven’t been back in a couple years because of price and incompetence, there’s better options for cheaper and quicker. Sheetz the gas station has been nailing Amerimexican for years if you’re north east.

        It’s like $12 for a crunchwrap meal in my super low CoL town. Wemdy’s still has their $5 buggie bag. I used to love Taco Bell but it now costs more than freaking Chipotle.

          $5.69 for a crunchwrap in my relatively high CoL town. $5.99 for a “build your own cravings box” that’s kinda like a biggie bag but maybe slightly less food and the specialty item can be a crunchwrap.

            Build your own cravings box is amazing. Where I live you can’t order it in-store, it’s online order exclusive. But I think some locations don’t do it, which is sad.

        I still love the food, but Taco Bell is one of the most expensive fast food places around me.

        They never have deals. Everyone else has something like a 2 for $6 and/or they offer good coupons.

      I only go when I want to have the specific flavor profile they create. If I want actual Mexican food, they’re my absolute last option

      Yeah but that Breakfast Steak Crunchwrap with extra creamy jalapeño sauce…

      Greatest fast food breakfast item. And I’ve eaten an embarrassing amount of fast food breakfast.
