What’s in the $7 Luxury Cravings Box?

Taco Bell is hoping to combat high fast food prices with its $7 Deluxe Cravings Box, which comes with a Chalupa Supreme, Beefy 5-Layer Burrito, Double Stacked Taco, chips and nacho cheese sauce and drink.

Taco Bell has a new combo meal offer aimed at addressing the affordability of fast food while inflation is still at the forefront of consumers’ minds.

The new, limited-time $7 Luxury Cravings Box hits the Taco Bell menu Thursday. The meal comes with a Chalupa Supreme, Beefy 5-Layer Burrito, Double Stacked Taco, chips and nacho cheese sauce, and a medium drink. The restaurant chain says the combination is priced approximately 55% lower than the price for the menu items purchased separately.

Many major fast food chains have tried to address consumer concerns about prices. Last week, McDonald’s began selling a limited-time $5 Meal Deal, which includes a McDouble or McChicken sandwich, four-piece Chicken McNuggets, small fries and a small soda.

Last month, Wendy’s began offering a $3 breakfast deal for an English muffin breakfast sandwich and seasoned potatoes, and Burger King debuted the $5 Your Way Meal with a choice of three sandwiches, plus chicken nuggets, fries and a drink.

This isn’t Taco Bell’s first attempt to make its menu affordable as consumers look for cheaper food options. The $5 Taco Discovery Box – a Crunchy Taco, Doritos Locos Taco, Cantina Chicken Crispy Taco and a medium drink – was available from April to June 4. In January, Taco Bell launched a new Cravings Value Menu with 10 items for $3 or less.

Since then, prices for some of these menu items have increased slightly. But there are still 10 items that cost less than $3, Taylor Montgomery, Taco Bell North America’s chief marketing officer, said in a statement sent to US TODAY. “Our Cravings Value Menu is one of the industry’s leading value menus… because we believe consumers don’t have to choose between affordability and abundance,” he said.

With the new $7 Luxury Cravings Box, “we’re giving consumers the items they crave most at an affordable price and delivering on our commitment to value to satisfy cravings with favorite, big-name menu items fans,” Montgomery said.
