'Craveable items at an affordable price': Taco Bell rolls out new $7 value meal combo

Taco Bell has a new combo meal deal meant to address the affordability of fast food with inflation still on the front burner for consumers.
The new $7 limited-time Luxe 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 combo is priced about 55% lower than the price for the menu items bought separately.
Many major fast food chains have sought to address consumer concerns over prices. Last week, McDonald's began selling a $5 limited-time Meal Deal, which includes a McDouble or McChicken sandwich, 4-piece Chicken McNuggets, small fries and a small soft drink.

Last month, Wendy's began offering a $3 breakfast deal for an English muffin breakfast sandwich and side of 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 bring affordability to its menu 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 in April to June 4. In January, Taco Bell launched a new Cravings Value Menu with 10 items for $3 or less.
Since then prices on some of those menu items have increased slightly. But there's still 10 items priced at less than $3, Taylor Montgomery, the chief marketing officer for Taco Bell North America, said in a statement sent to USA TODAY. "Our Cravings Value Menu is one of the leading value menus within the industry … because we believe consumers shouldn’t have to choose between affordability and abundance," he said.
With the new $7 Luxe Cravings Box, "we’re giving consumers our most craveable items at an affordable price point and living up to our commitment on value to satisfy cravings with fan favorite full-sized menu items," Montgomery said.
