My mortgage has gone up like $300 in the last 14 years due to taxes & insurance... but if I were still a renter it'd have gone up by $1000 (or more?) so I'm not complaining.

escrow went up that much?

Yep mines about to go up $200 because my insurance is over $1,000 more this year.

My car insurance has doubled in less than 8 years. But don't worry, it has less coverage too! Oh, but I'll get a teeny tiny discount if I let them install a lowjack!

Could be down to their location. I mocked my gps to a place i guessed would be expensive (Long Beach CA) and got this

This is the TB closest to me in the Los Angeles area.

I can get that as part of the build your own craving box for $6.

Crunchwrap, this, potatoes, and a drink for $6.

That's only taking into account monetary devaluation, not inflation of goods and services

The beefy 5 layer burrito was introduced in 2009/10

It's two separate pictures, silly.

They removed it from the menu in the last couple of years

Beefy5 layer burrito has that effect.

Hopefully most of the price increase is tax related as a luxury food item and the money goes towards diabetes and obesity research. Right?

Had to AI this one.

The Beefy 5-Layer Burrito at Taco Bell was introduced as part of the company's "Why Pay More?" value menu in 2010, priced at 89 cents. Over time, like many fast-food items, the price of the Beefy 5-Layer Burrito increased due to inflation, rising food costs, and other economic factors.

The exact timing of each price change can vary by location and market, but in general, the price increased gradually over the years. By the mid-2010s, the price had risen to over a dollar, and by the late 2010s and early 2020s, the price could be found in the range of $1.50 to $2.00 or more, depending on the region and promotions.

Weird, 2012 was about when Brian Niccol took over as Chief Marketing Officer and then later became CEO of Taco Bell. Afterwards he moved to Chipotle and raised prices and lowered quality there too. Now he's in the news for becoming the new Starbucks CEO where he will be commuting via private jet 600 miles 3 days a week.

So you'll be happy to know that your extra money on tacos, burritos, and coffee goes to good use like paying this asshole millions of dollars to fly around on a private jet enshittifying everything he touches

It 100% shrunk. That image is misleading

That might SOUND like 5x protein, but I am fairly confident there is a pretty minimal amount of protein at all. The beef and cheese sauce are almost entirely fat, cheese is low amount and high moisture, sour cream never had protein to begin with.

...kinda but also wtf are you talking about? It's Taco Bell, of course it's going to be greasy as fuck and delicious.

Not delicious in the way of fresher more authentic Mexican food. Delicious in the way of Taco Bell.

Lol chill, it's already billed as trash food, nobody sold it as caviar. If someone wants to eat like a raccoon, for the most part, it's their God given right. No need to high horse it.
