Its back again! Subway's 5 dollar footlong menu has expanded for a limited time to include every sandwich except the Subway Feast and Philly Cheesesteak. Just as the first one, sales of Subway sandwiches are expected to skyrocket. The reason is because in times like these when we can no longer afford what we would like to eat or do. With subway giving the oppertunity to purchase a footlong sanwich with choice of any toppings for only five dollars, (Plus tax. Unfortunately the left got us there as well.) is a golden oppertunity for poor families who must cope with higher living costs due to higher taxes and regulations by the government.
It demonstrates how big government oppresion by socialists is flawed and how free market economics is superior. When free markets are able to provide lower costs than their competitors and deliever a quality product, the markets will earn greater profit and in turn produce better products for consumers. Compitition and freedom made this possible.
This author is pleased to be one of Subways many many customers. For five dollars I can purchase a delicious foot long sandwich that will keep me satisfied and full throughout the day. Contrast this to other choices. I might add that inIn Socialist New England, Im sad to say those choices are limited :( I can load up with vegetables and all kinds of goodies wheras you do not have such quality and choice in places such as Quiznos, D'angelos and elsewhere. (I still like to eat the greasy sandwiches they serve in D'angelos though. Very good stuff.)
The moral to this story is clear and one that Barack Obama and Liberals need to pay attention to. In this time when Obama wants to tax us in the middle of economic crisis and ratchet new expenses to the people the consequences could be tragic.
Thank God for Subway’s $5 footlong, we can’t eat a whole one, so it’s lunch the next day too!
He has. His policies are nothing more than Baloney and Cheese and a lot of empty calories.
OK, sing along... “zer0 for 8,000,000,000,000”... :)
my 12 year old loves to sing that Subway jingle :(
In socialist New England you’d be better off skipping the $5 sub sandwich and drop a lobster pot and pick up a free and tasty (and tax-free) meal. Or, better yet, invest in the free market and go visit the Hilltop Steakhouse in Saugus which is just a short drive from southern Maine.
I am glad they included everything again. Ticked me off when they limited it to just a few sandwiches, all fancy for the most part.
All I wanted was just a turkey, but it wasn’t on the $5 list.
Nice to have them all be $5, even if just for a month or two.
Unfortunately its only for a limited time. After that you can only get it for smoked ham, tuna, and a few others. Also the Subway Feast and philly cheesesteak are not included. Another thing I forgot to add was that participation may vary. So if the restaurant is being screwed heavily by taxes and stuff, then forget it.
Don’t know why the simple ones like turkey etc. aren’t included in the regular $5 list. I can’t imagine it being so expensive....I bet it’s because they sell too many of the simple ones and try to drive up sales on the elaborate sandwiches.
Do I pick it up in the morning or afternoon?
I need to know because the Pizza delievery man and the plumber are coming in the afternoon!
Dude, D’Angelo’s has plenty of vegetables for their sandwiches, and while pricy compared to Subway, they’re a whole lot better. D’Angelo’s bread is incomparable, especially their Syrian.
the left doesn’t understand business if they did they would cut taxes now not raise them, I am really surprised that Obama and has cabinet has not suggested bailing out the auto industry by raising the price of cars, that way they will make more money every time they sell one...
Wow, a whole foot of meat byproducts, old cheese, rancid lettuce, and tasteless tomatoes for only 5 bucks? Be still my beating heart.
