    Wendy’s Biggie Bag is a solid deal.

    Also, Taco Bell, but only if you know what you’re doing. There’s a $6 box that gets you all you need for a meal, but I think you need the app to order it. Otherwise, your best bet is multiple items from the $1-$2 menu. The combos are a trap, stay away from those.

        bruh

        $7.39 for a DORITOS® CHEESY GORDITA Supreme per taco, no extras past the tomato and cream from Supreme. For less then the price of two, I can get a whole steak taco plate just about anywhere else.

          I get that, but these were like 3.50 a few years ago. I can’t justify it. I’d rather sit in any Mexican restaurant and pay like $11 for a full meal.

        Different taco bells have different pricing, most taco bells have a $6 app only box that’s one of the best value meals you can get in fast food, but some individual taco bells raise the price on it.

        For example, of the 4 closest taco bells to me 3 have the $6 box, but one charges $12 for it. That expensive taco bell has everything marked up at least 30-75%. It’s not the worst in the country though, there’s a taco bell in NYC that charges $25 for the $6 box.

          I live in the South in one of the cheapest cost of living areas. I haven’t tried the app, but ordering off the menu is crazy. When I was in college, soft tacos were like 0.89 and cheesy 5 layers were like a buck. When I order my old order from back in the day, it comes out to like $27 now.

          If the app box is anything like the ones they used to just have on the menu, then I really hope I can handle the sodium these days.

            I remember 59, 79, 99.

            Pretty much everything on the menu was 59, 79, or 99 cents. Those were the days.

              We used to have it too good. That’s why I can’t justify it when I could go in any sit down place and pay like $4 more max.

      These 2 are the only answers I can think of. Since everyone’s dollar menus are dead and gone, the Wendy’s or Taco Bell $5 for 4 items is the best of what remains.
