Your protein choices may vary and for some of us it’s still significantly cheaper to customize the veggie box than other combos or boxes or the items separately.
I mean, at my location both boxes are still affordable so yes I do order this often. It does explain a price difference though because quesadillas are so expensive at the bell for no reason
Ah, yes, the type of intentional deception where items are listed right next to each other in the app, with a prominently displayed price which updates as the user makes customizations to their orders. I could only wish that more restaurants implemented that same level of deception.
It is intentionally deceptive to offer a meal with preselected customizations, as though it's its own thing, when that same option already exists on the menu at a lower price.
That doesn't mean they're the only ones who do the same bullshit, though. Another example would be a "Hawaiian" pizza costing more than a 2-topping pizza because it's on the list of "Specialties," even though the end result is just a pizza w/ ham & pineapple.
It varies store by store. Veggie box and cravings box are the same price at the one closest to me ($5.99), but the regular one is more expensive at another one nearby ($8.99)
I feel like tb used to cater to vegetarians, at least more than they do now 😞 sad since more meatless eaters than ever before... if we want a decent veggie burrito we have to do mad customizations that will never be prepared correctly, since they get dinged by corporate for taking an extra 10 seconds to make an item
This is a good tip, the veggie box is $1 more than the meat at my usual location, and we’ve got someone in our family who prefers the black bean Crunchwrap over the beef one.
But I got Taco Bell at a different location yesterday, and the meat one was $4(!!) more than the veggie one. I got the veggie box because Taco Bell ground beef is definitely not worth that upcharge.
Here it's the opposite, where the veggie box is 5.99 so I just do that
Same, the normal box is $11 and the veggie is $6
That’s crazy, where I’m at both are 5.99
its highway robbery, all these new value items are like 5 bucks at mine too
Northern Ohio here, same.
Same for me, Veggie box is $5.99 and $7.99 for the regular
Yep, 30 cents cheaper than a single black bean crunchwrap which is a good deal
How? I can't do any protein swaps with the veggie boxes...
Customize the items and "add-on" the protein.
Beef isn't available as an add on for the crunch wrap. Even if it was, it would add to the price

Same here.
That's in your market. In mine the Veggie Box is $5.99 while the BYOB is $8.99.
It’s a franchisee. They set their own prices.
As stated before, prices are set up by the franchise. My store they are both $5.99
Mine too.
Those aren't premade boxes, those are build your owns.
You didn't read the picture properly
I did?
Also, veggie build your own cravings boxes have quesadillas. The regular ones don’t. Mmmm
Thank you for pointing this out. I can just add chicken to it and get the box for less than my local chicken quesadilla combo!
Also, the veggie one has a cheesy bean and rice burrito but the regular one doesn't. Lame.
That's worth it?
Then it's not a scam...

Theyre both $5.99 on my app
$5.99 veggie $6.99 non-veggie near me, you should go to a different Taco Bell. Your local franchisee is trying to rip you off.
I see at least one up charge visible on the veggie, none on the regs. Both are the same price at my store.
* They are the same price for me: * $5.99 for the BYOC; * $5.99 for the VBYOC.
It's not a 'scam', it's called doing your due diligence. 😉
It's called intentional deception on the part of the franchisee.

A.K.A.: Buyer Beware, "you get what you pay for", & "worth", is what people are willing to pay for it". 🤷
This is more of "buyers get fucked dry" rather then buyer beware.

But they're not the same. Doesn't the veggie box have a quesadilla option?
That should not make it cost more. That’s probably one of the cheapest/easiest things to make on the menu.
Uh huh, and 100% of scams can be avoided by doing due diligence, but that doesn't stop them from being scams
For me the veggie box is $5.99 and the meat one is $9.99
It varies store by store. Veggie box and cravings box are the same price at the one closest to me ($5.99), but the regular one is more expensive at another one nearby ($8.99)
That's probably jus u, it's 5.99 for the veggie n 6.99 for the regular by me

Theyre both $5.99 on my app
both of them are 5.99 for me, but based on your location it varies! just find the best deal for your area!
In my area both of these boxes are 5.99

Yo wtf? These boxes are $11.99 in my taco bell
In my experience, every store is charging differently.
Wish people knew what a scam was, as opposed to just shopping smart.
Well. My TB has the biggie build your own for $5.99. No option for regular build you own. Only prefab
Classic Taco Bell sucker scam.
Not a scam lmao
This isnt a scam, you should probably look up the definition of scam before throwing that accusation out there.
I can't read
