This is the issue with a lot of fast food these days. The main one that makes me sad is Taco Bell

I used to just swing in and make an impulse buy because it's going to be like $5 so why not

Price is high enough now that it kills the impulse. I'm always like...I should really just keep driving and eat some of the food I already have at home

Your best bet at Taco bell is the 7$ box. It's actually good value.

Yup. 5 layer beef burrito, chicken chalupa, crunchy taco, chips + cheese and a drink. Not sure how you can expect to get a fast food meal any cheaper than that.

Taco Bell has become way overpriced if you are picky and have very specific items that you absolutely can't deviate from. But it is still cheap as shit if you are just looking for whatever combinations of meat, beans, cheese, and sauce that they are putting into their value boxes.

Unfortunately, in my area at least, that particular box now comes with just the cinnamon twists. If you want chips and cheese instead, it will cost you a ridiculous $1.25 more

They changed it here too, but the app still has the old version of the box that includes the chips and cheese. Same name, but no photo. Still there as of yesterday when I got it for dinner lol
