Taco Bell gets even cheaper...

USA Today reported this week that Taco Bell is preparing to roll out a new budget menu on Monday touting items priced at 79 cents, 89 cents and 99 cents. The "Why Pay More?" value menu is obviously aimed at budget-crunched folks who are watching their money closely, and I guess I'd say every little bit helps!

For the jingle, you mean this one? :)

Well, it's nice that it's cheap and all, but do you ever wonder what quality of meat (and other products) they must be using to make this math work:

Cost of ingredients + Cost of shipping to store + Cost of labor + Restaurant expenses + Profit Margin = 79 cents!

Yikes. I'd almost rather pay the full $1.

Finally! I remember they used to have something similar to this back in the day, but it may have been 59, 69, 79. I think I remember the jingle they used to play during that promotion as well.
