What is that these days, 3 bean burritos and a drink?

Taco bell is easily one of the most affordable fast food chains in my area now

Only if you get the right menu items. As much as I love the chalupas, $4.99 for each one is ridiculous.

The bean burritos do a good job filling you up though and they're about half the price. I miss when they were less than a dollar though.

I member when bean burritos used to be 79¢

Cheesy bean and rice burritos are basically the only fast food I get anymore.

Granted, I'm a vegetarian, and they're basically the only option for that, but that also means they're the only option for that.

Surprisingly, you can get some items for cheap like their $5 box in the app.

I remember I tried to order a $5 box from Taco Bell a few years ago. The employee was confused and said "it's $10 here". Idk how they are able to put ads saying it was $5 when it actually was double that in most areas lol. Are you still getting the original price in the app nowadays or something?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago

It's like the $5 foot long, which was neither $5 or a foot long

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Man I went to the drive through after work one day, got a few things, and holy shit how is it almost $30?!

Unfortunately these days to get the old prices you have to use their app. Fortunately (at least for me) it works pretty well and it might actually be better value than it used to be.

You're paying the extra price one way or another. Whether that be through loyalty deals making you buy from them more, or in the valuable data they can use to profile you with based on your buying habits they use the rewards program to track

If you have it delivered, yes.
