How this was computed. Prices are the current price state: each store's price as read from the chain's own ordering system, refreshed weekly. A store's price counts only inside a sanity band around the item's national typical (half to 1.75 times), which drops placeholder and mis-listed prices no customer could actually pay. The Taco Bell at 3001 N. Broadway and the one at 941 W Randolph St were checked on November 4, 2026.
