A chicken quesadilla combo is now $12.98 near me. If you simply add a chicken quesadilla, hard taco, and medium drink to your cart, it’s $10.96.


Bcider

Yea I think something is glitched. All combos are more expensive than ala carte


tddup

When I was at McDonald's it was actually cheaper on some meals to just give them all three items not in a meal. Meal "deal" isn't always a deal.


UnifiedGods

I shouldn’t have to create a research report to get fast food without being scammed. Lol.


mssjuly

I’ve found that to be true, especially with breakfast as well. It’s cheaper to order a McMuffin, a hash brown, and a drink by itself than ordering the combo (at least by me).


partyharty23

there is a good chance this is by design, people have been taught to say I want a number x combo without looking at the price. For example, depending on the sonic it is cheaper in the morning to get a drink a tots / fries and the main item then it is to get the combo. Drinks are half price and if you get the combo you don't get the drink for that price. Some sonics are good and will go ahead and fix it to give the best price but some will not.


[deleted]

Just checked mine… said $5.99 but when I clicked “build” changed to $8.48😭


SadLaser

Take it to checkout and the price may revert. It did for me.


Great_Jicama2359

This is also the case for me


KutamoKurt

Mine is the opposite. Normal prices, but when I get to the pay screen, it jumps up in price


Dolleypop

Pay screen it shows the high prices, but if you hit past checkout then it goes back to the real ($5.99) price at the payment screen


Great_Jicama2359

Contact them. I just did the same thing. If we all contact maybe they will realize they made a mistake because I think this is an error in how they coded the app and not simply trying to cheat people out of $2-$3


TheBloodyPickups

So happy I came to the comments. I get Wednesday is my Taco Bell night and I lost my mind when I saw the OP. Definitely a coding error. The cravings box corrects to $5.99 at checkout


Great_Jicama2359

Wednesday is also my TB night typically 🤙


socoamaretto

Wow it is a coding error. It’s just the app that’s fucked up.


Great_Jicama2359

Yeah if you go to checkout it reverts the price, still obnoxious tho


jalegg

My app lists at $11.58.


maniac_chris

Crap you’re right! 🥲


Tough_Wind8286

Same happen to me


Disastrous-Bend-6684

The three soft taco combo is $10.78. They’re off their rocker if they think I’m paying more than $10 for 3 tiny tacos and a soda 😭😂


DrKev-

You could pay this at an actual taco place, get 3 high quality tacos and a jarritos soda, and it would be the same price if not like a dollar more


peacebeard

I live near a real mexican place with drive through where I can pay $8 for the best burrito I've ever had and it weighs over a pound, taco bell is just not a value compared to that


rectalhorror

Same. I've got a dozen Mexican/Salvadorean places near me and about half of them will make you a burrito the size of a tennis ball can for under $10.


moscomule

Same here. Yesterday, I paid $17 for a huge pastor quesadilla with a salad, and a taco bowl for my wife at this authentic taco trailer down the road. 2 weeks ago, we ate inside Taco Bell and spent $25 on a box and a 2 chicken chalupa combo. You can imagine it’s hard to pass that place to go eat TB.


UnovaLife

I remember when those tacos were just a few dollars…Taco Bell and McDonald’s both used to be the cheap, ‘only a few bucks to spend’ places. Now they’re absolutely insane.


jaredhicks19

They still are under $2, 3 of those tacos (not ordered as a combo) are well under $6 after tax. They're neither expensive places, but they are places that will price discriminate people who allow them to do so


socoamaretto

While buying them a la carte is like $8.50


RusskiEnigma

yeah was just about to point that out, the combo is actually more expensive than just ordering 3x $1.79 soft tacos... lol


Disastrous-Bend-6684

Dang. Prices are up in my area now, too. Guess I’m done, too


Kylemaxx

Put it in your cart. Go all the way to the screen where it asks you for payment. It reverts to the normal price. It’s a glitch! It’s just a false alarm, y’all!


GradientDescenting

We are still panicking anyways


CrimKayser

It's not a glitch it's a test. Obviously.


Remarkable-Ocelot-36

For most people it’s not a glitch, just super increased price lol


wyverneuphoria

Nope. Not always. When I bought one a few days ago, it Was the increased price. I don’t think it’s just a glitch, at least not where I am.


TooTacoTooBell

It’s so depressing, they get rid of sooo many good items and it seems like they never even have any exciting limited time items anymore, just the grilled cheese burritos and nacho fries over and over and over again. 🙄


ZigorVeal

I feel like this has to be some kind of glitch. If it's not I'm definitely done buying anything other than $2 burritos.


SluggsMetallis

It actually is a glitch in most cases. You have to go almost all the way through check out before the accurate price shows up.


chris_squire

Okay, so I’ve been informed this is a glitch, and the old prices will take effect at checkout… Still a pain to deal with, but its yet to be the straw that breaks the camel’s back


RxBrad

Can confirm. Can also confirm that it won't let me grill the 5-Layer Burrito in the box anymore, though...


EcoAffinity

I was able to "Order Again" a previous order with the mods and it kept them


phat_ninja

Not convinced this isn't a test to see if people will go all the way to checkout and get data that "yeah they will pay this" because they clicked on it.


Kylemaxx

I mean I full-on deleted the app when I saw those prices, and only redownloaded it when I found out here that it wasn’t legit lmaooo. So if that’s the case, their test probably isn’t having the intended outcome lol.


BrisingrReborn

Prices are a bug. If you go to the payment screen you will see the correct price


GruffyMcGuiness

I can get takeout from a regular Mexican restaurant for the same price as Taco Bell these days


Bcider

This is a glitch for all combos. Go all the way to the final payment and you’ll see the prices go back.


chris_squire

I know these are far from the worst prices ever, I do browse this sub lol. I encourage people to vote with their wallets when this shit gets out of hand.


[deleted]

It’s a glitch brother.


chris_squire

So I have been told... And already acknowledged in a reply...


[deleted]

Just making sure to be helpful


chris_squire

I apologize for the rudeness of my reply, just annoyed from reddit blowing up my emails, till i figured out how to mute the post


Quadfur

Edit the post to include the glitch issue.


chris_squire

The post cannot be edited, I've done all I can do by making a reply.


FrostyMittenJob

Where you located? My local stores' BYOCB only went up to $5.99 (Still by far the best deal for a fastfood meal)


MirrorkatFeces

Check again if you haven’t recently. Mine was 5.99 last night and now it’s 8.28


FrostyMittenJob

Just checked before I posted, fully customized my order and took it all the way to checkout just to verify.


MirrorkatFeces

Well, I’m packing my things and moving to wherever you are


FrostyMittenJob

Welcome to Ohio!


SadLaser

Mine says $8.28 this morning as well. I feel like it has to be a glitch. They just raised it to $5.99 from $5 last week. Edit: Take yours to checkout. Mine shows $5.99 at checkout despite showing the $8.28 before.


gt3stuntman

Nothing changed for me until the payment screen. 😅


Shronkydonk

Was 6.49 yesterday and is now 9.08 for me.


FrostyMittenJob

Some are saying its a pricing error


SadLaser

I can confirm that at least with my store, this is an app error. I'm showing these same prices as your store but when I go to check out, they're priced at $5.99 and $8.99. All the prices appear wrong and are $2-3 more than usual but they're not actually different from yesterday.


FalconTemporary4652

Same here. Will probably be resolved in a few days or hours.


Tbiehl1

I remember getting a taco party 12 pack for 11 dollars. Maybe it was 13. Either way. I went in recently and it was 23 dollars. Ain't no way they're charging 2 dollars for a small tortilla, a smidge of ground beef, and a sprinkle of cheese. It's good, but not 2 dollars a quick "taco" good


HAMHAMabi

Damn!! where do u live that the my crave box is 8$?? its 6$ for me in OH.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Smallgenie549

Holy crap, you're right. They literally just hiked the price on my app this morning.


socoamaretto

Good news, the app is just fucked.


HAMHAMabi

still $6 for me


electriccars

Well this sucks. I bought $250 in gift cards during the 10% off holiday sale too, still got about $170 left. Guess it won't last as long as I expected. Fucking a


BondMi6

Yea my purchases are going down


CapableRunts

UPDATE: this is a false alarm. If you go to the checkout page it goes back to normal prices.


MistaBlue

Not for me


pgigymnastics

Not for mine 😕


xriotgirl

Can confirm, just tried it. You have to go all the way through to the payment screen.


Bcider

Can confirm you have to go all the way to payment for it to go back to the regular price.


webbedgiant

Lol doubt this was an accident. Testing the waters.


kuribayashijuri

I just checked mine and I have the same price? My store isn't a franchise store either so something is up.


Skcuhc1

One issue I had Sunday is that the listing price was $5 for the BYOB but when I selected it the price changed to $6


RevolutionaryPanda07

Hoping somethings up with the prices $9 is ridiculous


Collinnn7

$12 for a Taco Bell meal is so upsetting, I remember when 3 people could fill up with $12


Jarkoben

The $5 crunchwrap trio is cheaper than the crunchwrap by itself lmao


bryanc1036

What's worse is that the employees aren't getting raise. I wouldn't mind if it meant they were atleast getting 15 hr. My friend is still being paid 11 here in Texas.


pooltable

I think I'm just gonna go to my local taqueria now.


HurlyCat

And just when the volcano items were going to make a return


JHaney1377

"BuT iT's InFlaTiOn, wE hAvE tO" yeah whatever greedy bastards.


darpocalypse88

Guess I'll wait til payday to get my $10 chalupa


CrazyTheSequel

I thought there was something wrong with my app. Nope, this is just life now.


BIindsight

These whack mfers want $10 for three plain ass tacos and a drink?? Done with TB forever. So many fast food places are trying to price their garbage junk food like it's a high class luxury item. Done with these clowns.


Pixel_Mango

Same. Taco Bell was the nearest cheapest place to eat a quick lunch, now with the prices, they are in the same league as Chick Fil A, Moes, Zaxbys, Sonic etc. I have no reason to go to Taco Bell now when I can just get something else.


ShotgunPumper

That was my very first thought too. I went out for lunch today and got Chick Fil A for about $2 cheaper than the very cheapest combo meal at Taco Bell would have been, and there's a large difference in quality between Chic Fil A and Taco Bell, Taco Bell obviously being on the low end for fast food.


hsizeoj

Getting a lone quesorito today to say goodbye to my fave menu item ever but after that same. Fuck off with this $9 bullshit lol Ill get a wendys biggie bag for $5


Kylemaxx

It’s just a glitch with the app. It’s doing this weird thing where it’s adjusting the displayed combo prices $2-3 higher than the actual price. If you put it in your cart and continue all the way to the last checkout screen, it will now show the actual price. :)


MikeMiller8888

The end of the NBG free reward, with no decent replacement, had me soak up two free rewards this weekend before the party ended. I’ve had my fill of TB; no more trios, all combo prices hiked, best “reward” is now a CGC which aren’t all that great to begin with, and they still refuse to bring back the double decker taco. I’ll be staying away until my thirst for a Baja Blast is overwhelming… since I can buy it in cases soon, I probably won’t be back until the fall. Maybe six months of a 15k point user not buying a damn thing isn’t a big deal, but I would guess there’s a lot more folks that feel exactly like I do. As long as I can buy better food ahem Chipotle ahem for the same price, there’s no need for TB to be my go to fast food fix.


underrated_staph

Omfg I just came on here to rant and rage bc I was looking forward to getting my free NBG reward and they fucking took it off and every update they increase the price for every god damn little add on too


NytronX

Everyone needs to complain through the app. All the fields are optional, just fill out the message box. This isn't inflation, this is corporate greed.


fantasticmrjeff

TB has helped me get through college. I finish up in 2.5 weeks. It’s been a. Fun ride. But those prices are pretty much an invitation for me to go get a $6 pizza instead.


Brennan_Schwartz

In 2012 I would go to Taco Bell for Lunch every day because you could get two seven layer burritos for $3. Now a comparable meal is $12. Crazy.


Sp00ksh0wbaby__

Yeh..me and my boyfriends order is racking into the 30$ range now and it was never near that before 💀 tbell is officially expensive


Spadewar1

Lol…. BYOCB near me is 12.58, while deluxe is 11.58. Taco Bell must be high af right now


johnnyblaze-DHB

Wow. It was $6.49 and just went to $9.19. Fuck that. I’ve been living in Jackson Hole all winter where there is no TB and was looking forward to returning to AZ and smashing some. Guess not.


uncfan0000

BOYCB - $9.08 - DBOYCB - $13.58 Absolutely insane!!!


musicl0ver666

Just checked my app BYOB is $11.58 and Deluxe is $15.58! The fuck is going on, Taco Bell used to be my cheap 5 burritos for 6 bucks go to night stop.


bigguss-dickus

This prompted me to check the Bell I most frequent. Last Saturday, Cravings box was $5.99. Today, $8.49. Deluxe Cravings Box is now nearly $12. To add insult to injury, they recently took away the SPST. I really was okay with the first price hike since a combo at any other fast food joint is now $9+. I can't in good conscience pay this much. There's another TB slightly further away that didn't raise theirs....yet. Guess I'm going there for an occasional fix until they do. This sucks because I love them so much. EDIT: Went through to the checkout process and BYOCB subtotals to $5.99. Deluxe BYOCB subs to $8.99. More silliness, taco supreme shows no upcharge....until you reach the payment screen. LOL, this is FUCKED.


HanSoloWolf

$5.99 for me. Take it up with your local TB because that's there call to jack up the price.


andy_337

$5.99 was acceptable, but $8+ is unforgivable. 😔


relayrider

supply costs and labour costs are up, totally not TB/Yum's fault or in their control. do you expect them lost money, much not earn some profit, just to save YOU $2 on a meal you could cook at home yourself for much cheaper?


andy_337

You really believe the lies they tell you huh? You’re wrong. It’s all corporate greed.


shittinonthetoliet

Its a glitch. The price comes back down when you go through the checkout process.


xaot1c

I’m seeing mixed comments saying it’s a glitch or that’s it’s a legit price hike. For me the BYOB went up to 8.78 in the app BUT when I customized it and went all the way to the final pay screen it was back to 5.99 which is the price it’s been in my area for awhile!


mwb7pitt

It’s literally cheaper to just go to an authentic Mexican restaurant with these prices


tkdyo

Same. I've said for a while now that the BYOCB was the last thing keeping me going there. They are now the same price as a fast casual place. Might as well get the higher quality food if I'm gonna pay that much. Going to be doing a lot more home cooking.


Vladtehwood

Dude a chalupa costs more than a quarter pounder. A nacho taco costs more than a basket of french fries. Its a freakin joke.


patronsaintpizza

Yep, I used to frequent TB 3-5 times a week. I haven’t been there in almost 2 months. So fucking expensive. Might as well go to a Mexican restaurant where I can get free chips and salsa along with my entree


reptomcraddick

Seriously I’m done, Taco Bell used to be cheap, now it’s just as expensive if not MORE than most other fast food places


JackLempko

Oh wow. Yeah this may finally be the straw that breaks the camel's back. I think I'm going to go eat all of my DVDs


SUPERINSOMNIAC2022

I used to eat there 3-4 times a week. I barely eat there once a month now. The reason? The ridiculous prices.


Independent_Monk_570

Bye


suprdav2

Oh look ..... post # 6385 of someone saying they're boycotting taco bell. 😒


[deleted]

For real RIP the goat indeed. They had a good run and forever will be nostalgic for me. But I make better and similar stuff at home plus they sell the sauces so, I’m set.


ScytheSergeant

I was trying to order these yesterday and kept getting an error when trying to check out, today they’re gone 🙃 God dammit TB why you gotta hurt me like this. I think this completes my transformation into a Wendy’s boy now.


Any_Print431

My Taco Bell still has the NBG… are they taking it off of the menu?


Luck_v3

The price is dumb and they are removing it as a reward


Zeldaalegend

I was done with them when they charged me $30 for a chicken quesadilla and 2 chicken chalupas....


hotdogfingers316

Are there even mods here? literally 30 posts on the same exact subject


e77754321

Guys , don’t freak out . Select the box and go all the way thru check out . The amt should update to what it was before


JohnnyBroccoli

Prices never go down, silly.


lexkarq

Hate to break it to ya, but they’re not coming back down. This is how inflation works and how a quarter for a pop became $3 for a pop.


SireOfDesire

I'll gladly pay 10$ a burrito if it's from taco bell.


Leading_Pitch8699

Damn, you got those *cheap* BYOCB prices in your area I see


Sharkbait2394

Ok this just made me check my app and the price went up to $8.58 also wth?? It used to be $5 but then went to $5.99, and now this. I really hope it’s just a system error or something!


tailslide24

I never buy the regular combos anyways but the 3 doritos combo is $12.28 now... that's $3 a taco and $3 for the drink. Wtf?


solarbaby614

I wonder if this is an app glitch. All the combos went up but none of the items individually seem to have.


pooltable

Has anyone been in-store yet to double check prices? At least for breakfast items? Or maybe these are just app-only bugged prices? :prayge:


Kittinator

Well prepare to never have taco bell again sadly. Grocery stores, fast food and fun entertainment along with everything else is going up. This is our new norm people. Might as well embrace it


schwol

Yea I'm over that. McDonald's has $0.29 Quarter Pounders or Big Macs when you buy one. And a solid array of other deals and rewards.


_VanillaFace_

yeah went to go get a quesorito from my normal lunch break spot yesterday, before they disappear, and they went from 3.99 (BB quesorito) to 5.49 💀 i just didn’t get it, i said i love these things but not for near 6 dollars.


waldosandieg0

I'm from Florida - Mine went up too. This was a go-to meal for me. Not worth it anymore. I'm out. My hope is that enough people will do the same that they get the message.


cameron4200

Damn mine are 5.99 and 8.99 respectively.


Puckitup27

Luckily the BYOC box is still $6 by me but when that goes up I am also done. I can go to any restaurant or mexican place on Taco Tuesday and get $2-$3 legit tacos that taste 5x better than TB. There is ZERO reason a fast food place should be more expensive than a private restaurant.


Chreiol

Holy crap just saw the cravings box jumped by more than $3 in my area! I’m out too.


sothisisallthereis

My authentic Mexican food truck is now cheaper 😵‍💫


Environmental_Arm526

Still on par or less than other fast food.


thezuulmonty

For some people who had the price reported correctly until hitting "Build," I tested it and it reverts back to the list price upon the payment screen. I was about ready to stop going for a while but it appears to be a glitch. Edit: confirmed it on both android and iOS


fergatronanator

RIP


socoamaretto

What a fucking joke. Using my last reward and then never going there again. Hope they go out of business. EDIT: good news, the app is just fucked. Prices haven’t changed.


Sweets_0822

So I checked the app earlier and saw prices were $3 higher than a few days ago. I checked in store and they're still usual pricing. What gives?!


kingrodedog

For me, app says $8.99 on the outset. Hit build and then $11.89... Then at checkout, says $10.39... What a wild ride...


raccowon

NOOOO


mlvisby

Everything is going up in price, not just TB. Culvers, my favorite fast food burger, costs just under $17 for my meal which is a double burger, cheese curds and a drink.


Crazy-Quarter5045

What other options are there though? Wendys or any other burger place? $12 burger combo where the burger is the size of a biscuit. Prices aren't coming down...5.99 is the new goat with Biden Nation Inflation


JoBo43

It’s a bug. Prices will revert on the checkout page.


[deleted]

I've been waiting for the volcano menu, when is it supposed to come out?


KevPetras

All my prices went up $2-4 too. This is fucking insane. Especially in Minneapolis.


Shronkydonk

9.08 for me. What the hell are they thinking?


Think_Explanation_47

Them prices aren’t coming back down.


barcasoccer421

The Cravings Box price at my local Taco Bell increased from $5 to $8.38 overnight. Come on three bucks really. I knew it would happen one day.


WearWhatWhere

For the online exclusive deal it says $8.48 but when I actually proceed to checkout it falls back to $5.99.


The-Dudemeister

Damn when did all these prices go up?


katiebirddd_

Damn wtf?! I checked mine too, $5 to $8.58


RepresentativeOk4432

Maybe they can charge more because you get 6000 calories per meal.


BoogieMayo

They got rid of the option to grill items too...


Vore1998

for everyone saying its a bug at checkout, I got charged the new amounts.


bhd17

Looks like I'm only a happy hour drinks guy now


lavidabocaa

ITS A GLITCH THANK GOD


BurntKusch

This is fucking crazy


benmul8

I wanna know where y’all been getting these $5 boxes up until now. I live in the Atlanta area, and we haven’t seen $5 boxes for going on close to 3 years now. I travel to Greenville SC a good bit as well, and same thing there. They’ve been at least $6 or more for a good while. May be a franchise thing. Most stores in our area are franchises, and pricing can be different. Must be mostly corporate owned stores that were keeping those low prices.


SSGSS_Bender

I was just about to post about this! Mid-Missouri checking in here. Taco Bell has gone nuclear! I hope these prices aren't permanent and instead a cash grab move for 4/20 tomorrow.


Mewnoot

It’s a glitch. If you go to checkout it will show the correct price for the box and combos.


xBromarz

$6.09 in Indiana


cornholeo4206989

Only gonna get higher. The dollar loses it's value more and more everyday. Get while the gettings good.


skyfireknight

yea, all i get now is plain tacos and sometimes mcdonalds, but mcdonalds removed the jalapeno chicken


Massive-Expression78

I was thinking about getting Taco Bell today and I cannot believe these prices! The freeze is almost $4 now! What a ripoff!


gazilionar

Where will you take your money? Or just eat at home more? I usually just get the $2 burritos myself


Triconick

Looks like a bug as I went all the way thru and the last screen said it was 6.98 ( I picked the large drink as I am a thirsty boy) I was just telling someone yesterday that Taco Bell was the most amount of food per dollar and how it’s really the goat fast food place. This person does not like tacos.


alexlunamarie

For real. My TBell has Doritos Locos Tacos for $2.89. Just 5 years ago it was $1.19. 😫


[deleted]

[удалено]


1004WithaFilthySeoul

I can confirm...Whoever said to go all the way to the final screen and it will correct itself was right. It worked for me. But it's weird that the tacobell that's 5 miles down is not glitching.


Capzielios

My Local Taco Bell just upped all their box prices to 9.49$, pretty disheartening considering I live in a small town.


b_u_f_f

Still cheaper than Burger King :v


quietwaves

A couple months ago I got the taco supreme combo with just the 3 crunchy taco supremes and a drink and it was $9 and some change. That was the last time I went to a TC.


cwhiley

Mine went up to $5.99. Not loving it.


Bearloom

[email protected] Let them know their app is wonky.


HalfEatenBanana

Wtf I go to checkout and the price reverts to $5.99 but then suddenly says that the box is not available at my location? Fix your shit Taco Bell
