I came to that conclusion after ordering only 6 items for 3 people at a cost of $34.70.
Do they secretly charge for hot sauce packets?
An added insult, they asked if I wanted to round out my purchase and give the change to some charity that I've never heard of.

You guessed it, Im a poor.

Totally depends. I can get a boat load of food for $6 or $20. Item prices vary wildly.

Online ordering the monthly cravings box combo or the cravings menu is the only way to get a decent deal at the Bell.

They still have the $5 craving box that comes with a chalupa supreme, taco, and chips and cheese and a drink.

Not sure what the hell you ordered that averaged over $5 per item.

That's what I'm wondering. Very few items are over $5

You ordered the least bang for you buck items. And I love the mexican pizza.

For instance a beefy melt burrito is less than half the price and more calories.

TB has been going downhill ever since Pepsico bought them and has only gotten worse with recent inflation. I went through the drive thru a few months ago and ordered two 5 layer burritos with double the beef and it was nearly $10. Compare that to a local Mexican chain that will sell me a fajita burrito that has a much better quality of ingredients in it and is at least as much food as 4 of those 5 layer burritos for $11...and it comes with free chips, bean dip and salsa bar. If it weren't for the drive-thru and them being open late, there would be no reason for me to ever eat there again.

been that way since before covid and got worse after covid

i used to get their beef burrito for $1.49, last year it was $2.79, so i drove off and went elsewhere. a friend told me they were now charging $3.79 for burritos

it only cost them less than 20 cents worth of stuff to make a buritto, and that include the wrapper its in

i went to mcdonalds yesterday for a 1/4 pounder, just the sandwich by itself with nothing else cost me $5.73. they gave me a big mac instead and that was the worst tasting soggy trash i ever tried to eat, i threw half of it away. it was like a 1000 island salad on wet bread with 2 paper thin patties that mashed together wasnt big enough to call a hamburger patty, it was thinner than a damn crystal burger patty

They have one that is $6 in the app, and you get to choose a specialty, a classic, a side and a drink. The specialty is a chalupa, cheesy gordita crunch, or crunchwrap supreme. Classic can be a taco, 5 layer burrito, bean burrito, or a spicy potato soft taco. Side is nachos, cinnamon twists, or cheesy fiesta potatoes. I discovered this one day when the wife wanted a crunchwrap, and that by itself is $5. I'll pay a dollar more and get the other two items and a drink.

I also ordered some family pack last week. It said meal for 4, and had a couple of crunchwraps, a couple of quesadillas, 4 tacos, and 2 nachos for $20. The quesadillas are $5 each too, so if you had ordered the crunchwrap and quesadillas you should go ahead and get the tacos and nachos added on for the same price.

I hardly order any fast food without an app these days. There are deals and promotions in almost all of them.
