Really? Last I went it was around 5 USD for a crunchwrap and the cheese burrito nonsense was less than 2 USD a piece. 28 USD would be an absolutely obscene amount of food even by American standards

Edit since people think I'm bullshitting: these pictures were taken at a Taco Bell in Portland, Oregon, USA today, 31st January 2024:

Was that about 5 years ago? I just checked a receipt from my last depression fest and it was $7.19 for a crunch wrap and $2.90 for a bean burrito, $6.09 for a cheese quesadilla.

No, it was about two weeks ago in Portland, Oregon

Yea, it’s a ton of food. But, I remember when it was cheaper. Maybe I’m just old now. I don’t have the prices memorized of my local place but the last time I went it was more than I expected (but not $28 for just me…)

The combos are almost $5 cheaper than where I live, that's crazy

You must live in an expensive city! Portland's not cheap but not crazy either. There's no sales tax which is also a plus.

Yeah I get that prices vary based on where you live but people taco bell is not expensive if you know what to order. I usually spend about $12 for about 2400 calories worth of food I enjoy over the course of two days. If you want to eat cheaply and not make it yourself, it is hard to beat their value menu or a build your own cravings box.
