Under $100? Unbelievable Taco Bell Price Totals

It started as a friendly debate and ended with me making a spreadsheet of Taco Bell’s menu. But, let’s back up to the conversation…

“I bet if you order one of every item at Taco Bell, it’s under $100,” a friend said to me as we munched on some tacos (as most good conversations begin).

“No way,” I said through a mouth full of crunchwrap supreme.

“You don’t think so?”

“No. The cheesy gordita crunch by itself is like five bucks.”

“But you only have to get one.

We both paused. My friend had an all knowing look.

“I still don’t think so.” But I was hesitant. Taco Bell items are cheap. I always joke with my friends about how such little money gets you so much food.

We looked at each other. Next thing I knew, I was pulling up UberEats. I was going to add all the items to the cart but, for whatever reason, was unable to. We looked at each other again. There was only one thing to do…

Make a spreadsheet.

As I typed each menu item and its price, I thought it was going to take forever. At the end of forty-five minutes of hard labor, it was beautiful. And I now had the all powerful knowledge of every item on the Bell’s menu — small price to pay.

You could sort, filter, etc. I categorized them as: breakfast combo, breakfast individual, combo, dessert, drink, individual, and party pack. The list does not include modifications like the chicken taco, etc. It’s exactly as the menu on UberEats reads.

So how much will you spend for one of every individual item? Did you guess under one hundred dollars? If so, you’re wrong. But barely.

It comes out to $108.37.

See the image below. (This excludes breakfast individual items.)

Individual Items Total

Okay, but what if you order everything on the menu? Combos, desserts, party packs, drinks…everything. (I would include a picture for this one, but it’s too small — your eyes will thank me.)

The total comes to (drum roll please): $506.82.

Carry on my fine cuisine foodies.

For those curious, I’ve included snippets of the categories below.
