Sandwiches from the shop too expensive

I'm tired of having to pay 10 bucks for what... a freaking Sandwich!? This is in Subway and Quiznos but Quiznos is more expensive so what the duck...

Go into the countryside and expect to be served pigswill. Someone has told these former country bumpkin pubs to smarten up their accountancy act, and make a profit. Not a living, but a profit. So what do you get? Ploughman's Lunch? Well if you order that you have been had. No ploughman ever had lunch like that. And what's it got to do with ploughing? Damm all really.

Country Fayre = Dinner for country faeries.

Cider = Fermented rotten apples

Keg ale = Beer which has travelled a hundred miles in a can.

Most country pubs are fake, selling some olde world atmosphere that never was.

Ask for a full nutritional and food analysis of whatever you are served. Todays' meals contain about 50% of the protein they formerly did 30 years ago.

What a rip off....decided never to eat or drink there again.

Oh pur---leezzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Just because the sandwich wasn't to your expectations, doesn't mean you never going to go there again

It be like saying, if I had a bad experience in a place, ie Scotland. Would I then say, because that happened, I'm not going there again? No I love Scotland, and don't care.

Get a grip!

I had a bad experience in a supermarket, would I say I'm not going there again NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

I had a bad experience in a pub once, would I say oh because that happened, would I stop visiting pubs NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. I enjoy a drink at t'local, forgetting what happened in that one 'said' pub

Enjoy the pub, no matter if you didn't like the food much, you can still have a drink

My friend and I decided to have lunch at the Rose Inn, Barling Essex.....we pondered over which sandwich to have and opted for the elegantly labelled..Red Tractor Farm chicken with rocket. I had this on brown, my friend on white...£9.95.

Our sandwiches were served..each contained 3/4 thin slices of chicken breast and rocket, dry, then on the plate even more rocket. We asked for some tomato or something to make it more tastier and subsequently were given 2 sliced.

What a rip off....decided never to eat or drink there again.

Also, Subway is never soggy. If you ask for sauces, you get sauces. You choose the fillings, and what goes in it. Dont come running, saying, "it;s soggy, eww, well you asked for sauces, you get what you pay for. Yes making it at home is cheaper, but if like me, you dont have money for all the ingredients, then it's hard. Also I might add, there's water thats naturally in salad when it's chopped. so there goes your first question.

Plus, to the griper..organise yourself and make a shopping list! It will benefit you in the end.

Yes this is definitely down to laziness...if you can't be bothered to spend a few minutes making your own sarnies, then expect to pay for the privilege of someone else doing it.

Why sandwiches from shops are too expensive? Obviously because the poor chap sitting behind the counter has to pay rent, wages, electricity, taxes, and rates, insurance and rubbish collection etc. I think it is fair to say that lazy people have the only choice for others to feed them and they have to cough up, eat up and shut up. I own a coffee shop that makes very tasty baguettes, Panini, toasted sandwiches, (home made falafel) raps. If you can't afford it forget it.
News agents sells cheap soggy sandwiches two days old for 99p, mine costs £2.50 - £4 depending on size and contents made to order on the spot. A tin of Coke is sold for 50p in many places, in restaurants it costs £2 for a small glass filled with ice. I might rename my shop "The Rip-off-Cafe" I am sure I will get a lot of curious customers that will part with there cash to eat good healthy food. If I sell a sandwich for 40p no one will buy it because they will think it is cheap and there must be something wrong with it. Curiosity really ki11ed the cat.

I am not a fussy eater, but I have taken my own lunch to work for years.

The main reasons for me were quality, price, taste and healthiness.

On quality and price, I began to see uninspiring sandwiches with scant and run of the mill fillings, at prices two or even three times the price of a whole loaf of bread! I did a little maths and saw that with a little bit of effort, I could make a satisfying, tasty lunch-box which included sandwiches, snacks, yoghurt and a drink for about the same price as a pre-packed droopy sandwich.

On taste and healthiness, I switched to stoneground wholeameal bread, low calorie spread and tasty fillings. Grated cheese and pickle has fewer calories than sliced cheese and pickle, as you use less cheese for the same taste sensation. Tuna mix with sweetcorn, tomato flesh and diced pepper mixed with reduced fat mayo or salad cream is lighter in calories but tastier and healthier than any tuna mix from a shop's shelf!

I don't find it difficult to shop for or make my lunches. It's just something I've got used to over the years. There are the ocassional, days when I haven't made my lunch-box and have had to buy sandwiches and the like. But I have found that eating these foods so unpleasant, that not taking my own lunch is very rare!

The best baguettes you can get are in shops like Boots and all major supermarkets! They are fairly pricy usually at £2.50-ish but they are chunky, filling and f***** gorgeous! Worth every penny!!

Yep. If you're lazy, that's true. But people do make me laugh on this site moaning about the cost of everything - anyone every actually tried to run a small business during the recesson? The hidden costs that the average sandwich consumer is not aware of is astonishing.

Yesterday a single sandwich at Burghley House [Stamford Lincolnshire] = £4-95. Not so long ago I could have got a full Sunday roast dinner for that amount of money.
