Cuz of world politics.

My question is, why does the crunchwrap suck so much now?

This wondering is how you get into politics

I've almost completely eliminated fast food from my diet (Taco Bell is the only one I will go to on occasion because it really is its own genre of food. I love me some real Mexican food, but I also love Taco Bell. They are different things) because it has gotten so goddamn expensive.

At this point, I can spend another $3 and go to a local place with fresh cooked food that is 1000% better, and then have enough leftovers for two more meals.

The only reason it ever made sense to get fast food, historically, was that it was dirt cheap. I remember when Chick-fil-a value meals were $5-6. That price has increased by like 150% in ~10-15 years.

If they're too expensive, stop giving them money. Make food at home or go to a local small business, not a chain franchisee.

because the cost of food has nothing to do with world politics.

Fast food is still affordable!!!!

If you use the app and don't get only exactly what you want but what the app gives deals on! At the low low cost of sharing your personal data to their marketing and development teams! (And maybe their 3rd parties depending)

And it's so much worse quality than it was just like, 5 years ago

Class consciousness is what we need, comrade

And enjoy your taco

I just spent 25 dollars at Hardee's for two meals. I never buy fast food but I wanted to get my kid something quick at 6am for wrestling. Breh. What.the.hell...

The app-only build your own box is still one of the best deals in fast food IMO. $6

You used to be able to get a soft or hard-shelled taco for 59 cents.

The moment they took the cheesy potato burrito off the menu, it was over..

We’ve managed to get our order down to ~$17-20 for 2 people. 2 cheesy bean and rice burritos, 2 tostadas, 2 soft taco supremes.

Most of the Taco bells by me have a $5.99 box. It's online only so you have to order it from your phone and pick it up at the counter. It comes with a drink, One of the heavier entrees, one of the generic entrees and one of the sides. I usually do a cheesy gordita crunch, five layer burrito, cheesy potatoes.

Seeing that the drink alone would be $2.45 that's one hell of a deal.

That's said, Taco bells are mostly independent and if you're in some location like LA you might be SOL.

Their $7 lux cravings box is the best deal out there right now as far as I know. But that's it, the rest of the menu is overpriced just like the others.

Taco Bell is fine but have you seen Wendy's prices? Holy crap!

Buckle up buttercup!

A friend told us to get a Lux Box or w/e they're called after a concert a few months ago, and it had A LOT of food for the low price. Like a burrito, chalupa, taco, cinnamon twists and a drink for $6 or $7, which sounds like a great deal right now. Idk if they still have it or if it was a limited promotion, but that's what I'd get if I go there again (I don't do fast food but very rarely). Other than that, the standard priced items are definitely expensive.

Order the Meal for 4 from the website/app. Two Crunchwraps, 2 Chicken quesadillas, 4 tacos, 2 chips and cheese, $20. Feeds two people and there's usually leftovers, or will feed one person for 2 days.

Or the Meal for 2: Two Crunchwraps, 2 Bean burritos, 2 tacos, and 2 chips and cheese. $12.

Same goes for Jack ITB. They have 2 for $3 and 2 for $5 burgers, and tacos are still 2 for 99¢. Just gotta use the app or order online.

They charge that much because you're willing to pay that much. If it isn't worth it, don't buy it. Simple as.
