I gave up on subway and now go to the local supermarket deli. For $6.50 I get a large sub and have it cut in half. That makes two meals when I am on a road trip which I think is a pretty good deal.
Return to normal price. Last month was their $5 regular footlong sale ($6 for the super special ones like roast beef).
I went yesterday and they were running out of bread because so many people (including me) were trying to get one last $5 sub before March.
That’s ridiculous. Increase it by maybe $.25, but 20%? Or just leave it the same price and charge for whatever extras you want to add, like lettuce, etc. At least you would have a choice about what you really want to spend your money on. My son and his family always go to Subway when they travel because it’s the one place where they can watch their food being prepared. I quit going to the local one last summer because I was the only non-Spanish speaking person there, including all the employees.
Not sure where all of this is going to stop. House insurance just went up 30% this year over last year. Much of the fresh fruit in the store were I normally shop is borderline bad. Costs too much so people don’t buy. Had a discussion with the manager about why they don’t just sell it for less in the beginning rather than throw a lot of it out and make zero. Their logic just blows my mind.
Blue Belle had a great sale this weekend on half-gallon sized ice cream. Lot less expensive than half a gallon of milk. May get some for desert and also to put on my cereal.
