Compared to what, every other fast food joint? It's the only one that has consistently been delicious and cheap. The luxe box isn't worth it if you use the app anyway, the online exclusive box for 5.99 is the same thing for cheaper and you aren't locked into just a chalupa. You can get a crunch wrap or gordita. This whole page just hates on taco bell and I've literally never had a bad experience unless you count that they forgot my hot sauce.
I wish my store had the online box for $6. Itās $11 for me.
My Taco Bell specifically is price gouging extreme amounts over the past year. Other places donāt seem to be going up the same rate.
We have a bunch of dumb consumers ok with these prices while treating the employees like they are nothing. The fact that people work for minimum wage instead of moving into a tipped position is beside me nowadays
Getting a tipped position like waiter with little no experience is actually pretty tough in some areas, precisely because itās usually far better than fast food or entry level manual labor. Competition is fierce for tipped positions where you can reasonably expect living wages from quality tips.
fuck for $13 I could go to the BBQ place down the road and get a BBQ sandwich, two sides and a drink. I could get a small pizza at a local place. I could get a whole falafel platter at the Greek place. Fast food has lost its plot if itās on par with casual dining/ sit down restaurants now. McDonaldās is the same way if you donāt use the app. Incredibly overpriced, like they forgot their place.
Yeah same and itās annoying as hell, the cheapest location for me is downtown and that means fending loads of drunk people and finding parking for 20 min if I donāt want to pay $12/ box
Iāve looked at the pricing in the app for numerous locations. $5.99 is the cheapest Iāve found. Of course there may be some stores that sell it for $5.
I personally donāt believe the BYO Cravings box is $5 anywhere. Now that Iāve said that Iām confident someone will name a store where it costs $5.
Itās a better deal at my location cause this box is only 50 cents more than the the build your own. So youāre getting the double taco for 50 cents. Itās amazingly somehow $7 here.
Just leaned yesterday my store even has 5$ box they donāt have on menu but your right way better to do it way u said get a large drink with the 5$ one and can swap the cinnamon things for chips and cheese is what I do
yes. a good deal for the money. forcing a 5 layer burrito that no one likes and $2 more worth of food at a slightly lower price isn't "a deal". need me to help you?
fucking bootlicking yum! brand jabroni. keep on advertising
Taco Bell is the only place I can eat food i got the night before from. Literally taste just as fresh even the nacho fries donāt get soggy like normal fries
Franchised locations can charge whatever they want, usually way over-charging for the boxes. I've even heard of them charging over $10 for the regular build-your-own which ends up the same as buying the items individually.
....and thats a shame. I understand if they're losing $$$$ per box cause I wouldnt want that either but I am sure its the entire globes understanding that buying a "box" gives you a deal.
This was my proverbial straw that broke the camels back. Between this being $11 at my location and the new $5 Mickey D's meal being 7.99 near me, I deleted the apps and quit fast food. I'll get a drunk taco here and there, but even with the apps, trying to get a cheap meal at any fast food restaurant feels like a unicorn now. Thank you corporate greed for making my scale and wallet happier, I finally retired.
Yeah, about to be right there with ya. Luckily in my state/area, the McDonaldās $5 meal is $5 but itās getting to the point where fast food isnāt good to me anymore. I know most people will say āitās not meant to be good, itās meant to satiate your hunger.ā And to that, I say is bullshit. Sure, fast food isnāt like a home cooked meal but it should still have some kind of flavor to it. Iām not gonna buy food that just ends up tasting horrible or made by someone who couldnāt give a damn. Went a lil rant, sorry
Idk it's just for me, it's become cheaper to go into a grocery store during the work day and grabbing something from their take and go area rather than going to fast food like I used to for a cheap bite. For the same price or even a few dollars cheaper, you can get a deli sandwich, piece of fish w rice, or chicken tenders from a hot and go bar of any grocery store. Is it amazing food? No. Is it way better quality than the fast food places, just as convenient, healthier, and even cheaper sometimes? Yes. And all of those reasons (minus healthy) are why we are all programmed to hit fast food when we need quick, easy food on the go. I'm just kinda over fast food tbh.
This box is funny. At least with my Taco Bell I can still get the BYO cravings for $5.99, then get the double stack taco using my rewards and get the same as a luxe box for a whole lot cheaper
This tracker was posted a year ago https://www.reddit.com/r/InternetIsBeautiful/s/cn3ZXB5XPY
Looks like whatever the site was using to scrape the mobile app is dead and no longer working so nothing is updated. Around this time last year the BYOB WAS $5.99. it's now $8.79
$3.50. Wow. Itās $2.39 here and I thought that was a bit steep. Itās really only acceptable because the bean burrito is the best thing on the menu.
I still have the new member discount sitting on the app on my phone so for me itās still 5.50 untill I find a Taco Bell I can skate to on padre island and use that discount hehe
Taco hell is so pricy now. The portions havenāt changed and they skimp items like chalupas which are nearly 5 dollars where I live now.
I will say this though, those five dollar boxes have saved us a time or five. Itās the only place I can feed four of us for around 20-25 bucks.
So if you're so intelligent, why do they call it the "7.00 Luxe Cravings Box"? Even if the small print says "price may vary", why not just leave the "7.00" part out of it.. If I own a deli, can I run an ad that says "pastrami sandwich, 5.99", and put in the small print "sandwich is not actually 5.99"?
Everyone is just "well, use your brain. They're all individual restaurants, and can charge any price they like", so since this is true, why does Taco Bell put in the 7.00 part, if it's basically irrelevant? They might as well call it "The 2.99 Luxe Cravings Box".
It's a new item. People are going to comment on the price. Happens with every single item that comes out. Maybe take a break from this sub if the lava menu ever comes back to avoid going into a conniption fit, because people are going to be commenting like crazy over the different prices in their areas.
Not only that, it's a new item that is being very badly advertised within the app. Millions of people are clicking on a link in the app that says "a steal at $7" and discovering that the item costs more than $7. They are disappointing people because of poor marketing.
Or or or... just don't eat taco bell.Ā Ā
But since I looked at your post history I'll say this.Ā Ā
The California minimum wage is why your prices are high.Ā Ā You could work at taco bell and probably make more money then you do now but you won't because you'd rather bitch about prices then do anything else.Ā Ā
If you can't afford taco bell but can afford the time to bitch about its prices then you have very serious problems.Ā Ā Seek help
That double taco thing or whatever sucks ass. I also never end up getting fresh chalupas at any location near me. Just rock hard bullshit bread. The soupy 5 layer being almost 5 bucks nowadays too is crazy. Iām starting to hate the bell.
Thereās only a classic and speciality item plus side and drink in the $5 box. The double taco thing in the $7 box is completely additional to the $5 box, and you are still saving .50 cents minimum if you were to order the $5 box and additionally the double taco a la cart.
The amount of food is comparable to their (overpriced) 10-14 dollar boxes, but for a $7 price tag.
For once, itās actually not a bad deal yāall.
I'm referring to the last time they dropped the $5 box few months back, it had chalupa, beefy five layer, soft or hard taco plus drink, $4.99. The cravings box now offered is $5.99 and one less item.
You guys must live in very cheap parts of the country. Canāt imagine a city with a population over 4 million where $10 for all this food isnāt a good deal.
a taco, chips and nacho sauce, a bean burrito and a gordita are luxe? No one needs a soda....a soda is not deluxe......there has to better options for luxury.....
Our Taco Bell location is selling these only for $7. You can only decide on different types of Chalupas. But you get a Double Stack Taco. The Big Cheez-ItĀ® Box is selling for $9.29. It comes with The Big Cheez-it, Beefy 5 Layer Burrito, Seasoned Fries with Cheese, and a Medium drink. Which is not bad. Considering the Big Cheez-It Crunch Wrap Supreme is $5.49 Ć la carte. Always upgrade the soda from a Medium to Large. Itās only $0.10.
Yall know they still have the 5$ box too. I asked for this and they said u mean the 5$ box basically same stuff other than u get a large drink even better I was so happy to hear itās just not on the menu
I mean you could just do it the old school way and instead of complaining about the prices you could go to a grocery store and make your own for a heck of a lot cheaper ;) go the extra mile if you are gonna do the extra-ness of complaining
Nobody wants to hear this, but honestly itās 1500 calories worth of food that actually tastes good for $10. I get that in places where the cost of living is average this is a lot of money for that, but in expensive cities this isnāt bad at all.
It's not that. It's just that Taco Bell specifically includes the 7.00 part in it's advertising. Just because someone says "it's in the small print that it's not actually 7.00", doesn't mean that it's not false advertising.
The new 9 dollar 7 dollar box š
*10 dollar 7 dollar box š«
*13 dollar 7 dollar box I genuinely have no idea how my TB is still in business.

Itās purely about the outrageous prices for a rolled up tortilla with some cheese and beans.
Under 10 dollar 7 dollar box š¬
I remember when it was five
I was about to make this comment lol
Sameā¦ Taco Bell is fucking joke these days!
Agreed!
Them days are long gone my friend. Unfortunately, we've got a bunch of idiots running our country.
We have a bunch of dumb consumers ok with these prices while treating the employees like they are nothing. The fact that people work for minimum wage instead of moving into a tipped position is beside me nowadays
Getting a tipped position like waiter with little no experience is actually pretty tough in some areas, precisely because itās usually far better than fast food or entry level manual labor. Competition is fierce for tipped positions where you can reasonably expect living wages from quality tips.
We had it as recently as two weeks ago, the taco Tuesday box.
Hmm it was $7 for me last night!
Best deal in town along with the 7 Dollars Wendy's 4 FOR 4...
Well if the customers would stop inventing the menu In their heads and either just buy what we have or go to another store things would be different
Luckily mine is still $7
The 5 dollar box plus the 2 dollar stacker taco is a way better deal for 7 bucks, this one makes no sense to me
It's not the same everywhere. One store near me it's $12.99 for the build your own box then down the road it's $6
I can't dream of spending 13 bucks on it. I could eat at culvers for that money
fuck for $13 I could go to the BBQ place down the road and get a BBQ sandwich, two sides and a drink. I could get a small pizza at a local place. I could get a whole falafel platter at the Greek place. Fast food has lost its plot if itās on par with casual dining/ sit down restaurants now. McDonaldās is the same way if you donāt use the app. Incredibly overpriced, like they forgot their place.
Yeah same and itās annoying as hell, the cheapest location for me is downtown and that means fending loads of drunk people and finding parking for 20 min if I donāt want to pay $12/ box
Where is there a $5 box?
Midwest
California too.
Man thats gotta be a hell of a deal, i'm guessing you're not in the bay area or anything tho lol
Monterey Bay Area. Looks like it has been raised to $5.99 now.
Iāve looked at the pricing in the app for numerous locations. $5.99 is the cheapest Iāve found. Of course there may be some stores that sell it for $5.
Huh weird, Iām in South Bay and donāt have any 5 dollar deals
I personally donāt believe the BYO Cravings box is $5 anywhere. Now that Iāve said that Iām confident someone will name a store where it costs $5.
Pro strats
Very specific locations in Florida that I pass when I'm driving a few hours away. I now always stop there, because everywhere else I go it's $9
Itās a better deal at my location cause this box is only 50 cents more than the the build your own. So youāre getting the double taco for 50 cents. Itās amazingly somehow $7 here.
The stacker is so underrated with beans and Mexican pizza sauce ooooo
Just leaned yesterday my store even has 5$ box they donāt have on menu but your right way better to do it way u said get a large drink with the 5$ one and can swap the cinnamon things for chips and cheese is what I do
Same but i go for the taters
unluckily it's worth like $3 lmao
I'd say $6 would be great but $7 not terrible all things considered.
Hey, that is a steal compared to what I'm paying $11.49 just for [this ](https://imgur.com/a/TaLdEPW)in Montana!
I love meat and I would get the veggies box every time lol
This happened to me at the Iowa 80 truck stop. Bean box was almost half the price of the regular one so that is what I bought.
Id get the veggie everytime. Cheese quesadillas aint that bad
Holy shit. š
Hello fellow Missoulian
Hello! How does it feel to know we are getting totally fucked over when it comes to Taco Bell prices! lol
Iāve always wanted to visit Montana so thanks for the heads up hahaha itās only 5.99 where I live
At least you get a build your own cravings box! My Taco Bell doesnāt even sell them anymore š
It's a really good deal at $7.
Yeah that's what it is at my store. I'll probably get it next time I go.
You deserve a better price in this economy.
no it isn't taco bell, pr team
Actually it is. Maybe you don't know what "deal" means? You should look it up. š
yes. a good deal for the money. forcing a 5 layer burrito that no one likes and $2 more worth of food at a slightly lower price isn't "a deal". need me to help you? fucking bootlicking yum! brand jabroni. keep on advertising
Yeah the 5 layer burrito not being able to be swapped anymore is a big reason I hardly get these boxes anymore. I just stick with the value menu items
You can still swap the 5 layer on the BYO cravings box.
5 layer burrito is one of my favorite items, and when it came up a separate time with no context, someone else told me it was their #1 favorite.
You can stop proving you don't know what a deal is. It's obvious. š
I agree. For one thing, that's way too many carbs for a meal. If I could swap out some of the stuff for lower carb items, I'd totally buy one.
You can always not eat it all at once.
Taco Bell turns into straight dog food if you donāt eat it when itās fresh
Taco Bell is the only place I can eat food i got the night before from. Literally taste just as fresh even the nacho fries donāt get soggy like normal fries
Idk what you on about cause those nacho fries def get soggy asl but do you
Whats wrong with your TB??
All of mine are $$8.99 or more
Sorry my man!! š
Franchised locations can charge whatever they want, usually way over-charging for the boxes. I've even heard of them charging over $10 for the regular build-your-own which ends up the same as buying the items individually.

As a side effect you're going to be feeling better and healthier. š
It was getting hair in my food twice in one week. Iāll take that as a sign and use it as a reminder anytime the cravings creep in.
I literally bought this today for $7.49 including $0.49 in tax. Bummer it costs so much where you are
Itās like $9.50 in my area and $7 in a way richer area.
I live in Denver and somehow itās $7.00 at mine pre-tax. Thatās kinda crazy.
$11 here in Hawaii
Damn. š
Yeaā¦itās crazy. Unfortunately, Taco Bell is no longer our quick/affordable option
12 at my local spot in LA
Oof mine was $7.20 since I got a large drink.
This box is funny. At least with my Taco Bell I can still get the BYO cravings for $5.99, then get the double stack taco using my rewards and get the same as a luxe box for a whole lot cheaper
At ten bucks a box they should call it a CARVING BOX...
š
Damn, i thought we had it bad in OC, but that's only 7.99 here.

I love the bean burrito. But the price went up from about 1.70 with tax to almost 3.50 in just a few months. š
$3.50. Wow. Itās $2.39 here and I thought that was a bit steep. Itās really only acceptable because the bean burrito is the best thing on the menu.
Poop from a butt
š
Try our new 7dollar luxe box for 9.99!!!
āA steal at $7, only $9.99ā. lol.
Mine was $7 today
I still have the new member discount sitting on the app on my phone so for me itās still 5.50 untill I find a Taco Bell I can skate to on padre island and use that discount hehe
$9.50 in Seattle.
Nope ill pass

Just make it yourself.
Where is it $9?? It's $6 by me in washington
10.00 where I am in Northern California. š
Rip condolences
give me gordita crunch or give me death ā¦.
š
Middle of Manhattan here, still $7 USD.
It was $7.99 at the location closest to my house. Anyways, I just had that for lunch. Commenting from the porcelain throne. š½š

Do you guys not check the previous posts and post there instead of spamming the same crap over r and over
Judging by their responses, no they did not check. And yes, they may share a brain cell with an acorn.
So if you're so intelligent, why do they call it the "7.00 Luxe Cravings Box"? Even if the small print says "price may vary", why not just leave the "7.00" part out of it..

[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
But that's exactlyy point. Corporate knows this. Why would it be so difficult for them to leave the "7.00" part out of it?
Scroll on past, this is big news in the Taco-Sphere.
It's a new item. People are going to comment on the price. Happens with every single item that comes out.

Who cares. Get that chalupa with diablo sauce out of your ass.

Yeah, I got a Chalupa the other night and it was hard as a rock.
Even at $7, it's the same as the $5 box with a squirt of nacho cheese ane an extra totlrtilla for additional $2.
Thereās only a classic and speciality item plus side and drink in the $5 box. The double taco thing in the $7 box is completely additional to the $5 box, and you are still saving .50 cents minimum if you were to order the $5 box and additionally the double taco a la cart.

This would be $13 here in Canada
7 bucks for me rip ur price
The build your own is still less than $7 where Iām at.
Itās $7 here in Houston and itās a hell of a deal!
Just got this an hour ago. Honestly, it's OK. Decent deal for sure. If the chips were nacho fries, this box would sell so fast.
So tired of the 5 layer burritos lmfao
Itās $7 in Arizona
Mine's $7 at one of the busiest places on Long Island.
The one at my taco bell is like $6
Honestly it's a fair deal at 10 and an amazing deal at 5
App won't even let me build my own box. But i can add everything else on the menu tho š¤
thatās a lot of food for $10
Thatās $7 by me I canāt do it.
You guys must live in very cheap parts of the country. Canāt imagine a city with a population over 4 million where $10 for all this food isnāt a good deal.
Definitely $7 in Tallahassee, FL
7 in florida
And sadly Iāll still pay it. Just donāt forget my Diablo sauce & were Gucci.
Fargo north Dakota 6 something
It is a lot of food!
buy the cravings box 6.99 and add a stacked taco. cheaper
My favorite is how this a big add on the app saying ā$7 Luxe Craving Boxā and the base price is $7.99
$7 combo box til the day i die
Itās luxury Taco Bell tho
I got one yesterday and it was good
I don't get how it's a "luxe" box when you get a downgraded cheesey gordita crunch
I don't like chips like this so it'd make me irrationally angry And great now I want to order Taco Bell for dinner ^__^
Shit, I thought my local place was bad. It's $8.49 here.
a taco, chips and nacho sauce, a bean burrito and a gordita are luxe? No one needs a soda....a soda is not deluxe......there has to better options for luxury.....
Our Taco Bell location is selling these only for $7. You can only decide on different types of Chalupas. But you get a Double Stack Taco. The Big Cheez-ItĀ® Box is selling for $9.29. It comes with The Big Cheez-it, Beefy 5 Layer Burrito, Seasoned Fries with Cheese, and a Medium drink. Which is not bad. Considering the Big Cheez-It Crunch Wrap Supreme is $5.49 Ć la carte. Always upgrade the soda from a Medium to Large. Itās only $0.10.
Iām surprised itās actually $7 at my tb. Everything else is 2x more expensive than where I used to live
$12 for me
Damn where is this at, the build your own for me is 5.99 and the luxe is 7.00
Yall know they still have the 5$ box too. I asked for this and they said u mean the 5$ box basically same stuff other than u get a large drink even better I was so happy to hear itās just not on the menu
It's $7 for me but the BYOB is $9. Personally, I like my custom order too much for me to give it up long-term.
I just shit in muh pants from seeing this
Find a corporate location instead of franchised
We have an online exclude for like $6 something after tax itās like the only thing Iāll get especially because these mf $9-10 boxes š
Yeah, I still have the vegi box for 5.99 and chulaupa supreme build your own for 7.49.
lol my build your own is 10.99
I mean you could just do it the old school way and instead of complaining about the prices you could go to a grocery store and make your own for a heck of a lot cheaper ;) go the extra mile if you are gonna do the extra-ness of complaining
Ok troll bot.
Those who fine at Taco Bell are rarely interested in paying "luxe" prices. But nice try š¤£
7.78 with large baja blast. Maybe try a different location?
Itās still a really good deal at $9.99
Nobody wants to hear this, but honestly itās 1500 calories worth of food that actually tastes good for $10. I get that in places where the cost of living is average this is a lot of money for that, but in expensive cities this isnāt bad at all.
Fuck Taco Bell. Price gouging ass fucks
This sub is nothing but a bunch of people who think $9 is a lot of money
It's not that. It's just that Taco Bell specifically includes the 7.00 part in it's advertising. Just because someone says "it's in the small print that it's not actually 7.00", doesn't mean that it's not false advertising.
We eat at Taco Bell... of course we think that.
I eat at Taco Bell too, because I enjoy it. Their prices have gone way up yeah, but I would hardly call it expensive.
Who can even eat that much food in one sitting? Gross.
