The Weekly Gripe

Sandwiches cost too much these days

Sandwiches from the shop too expensive

Sandwiches too expensive

I don't take in sandwiches made at home, but prefer instead to buy one either from the local shop or the company run deli. Unfortunately I'm finding that I am increasingly dissatisfied with what is on offer and how much it costs.



Sandwich shops are a real rip off these days. They charge you a fortune for a couple of pieces of limp bread stuffed with cheap filler that basically consists of lettuce and salad. Where's all that yummy meat and cheese or whatever?

25-3-2008Don't some of you people realise that sandwich shops have overheads (that's rental, staff, cleaning, tax, social charges, electricity, tax, depreciation of equipment, licences, etc in case you are too thick to understand), and there is a price for your convenience. You have a choice, exerci...moreMikeP

18-10-2007Today I was cheated yet again. The board behind the serving counter reported that my coffee and bacon sandwich totalled £3, which I ate in. On paying the bill was £3.20p. Eat in I was told was more expensive. Bah! I will refuse to be grossly deceived again [pubs also deceive horribly so]. ...moreNever ever again
19-9-2007I have been taking my own sandwiches to work for quite a while now for two reasons, the sandwiches in the work canteen are unappetising and secondly, I believe that the sandwiches on sale in the shops don't represent value for money and leave me still hungry. On the value for money point, tak...moreDazzle

14-6-2007And the most over-priced "sandwich" of them all The pizza that one-sided, Danish-style open sandwich, smorgasbordet, warmed up. A pizza is simply and basically a cheese and tomato sandwich, and don't think of it as anything else.Death by Pizza bar
14-6-2007sorry to join will in the gang-up on death by sandwich, but he does appear to be a sarny short of a err sandwich shop. His comment "there are so many sandwich shops, because they make such a high margin of profit" is nonsense. Though I'd agree that generally in the catering industry...morelivebysandwich

I will inform my landlord that I am reducing the rent of my premises as 'disappointed of preston' thinks my sarnies are expensive. I will then inform the local council that I am setting my own levy for business rates...moreWILL

There's a surplus of available premises. These leeches are charging far too much for your premises. Move to a barrow in the street. Carry ...moreDeath by Sandwich Bar
02-5-2007I have to say that having enjoyed many salads in the last week I do not consider lettuce, cucumber etc as a cheap ingrediant. The cheapest lettuce I could find was 89p. So to get any amount of salad in a sandwich is a bonus.diabeticguy
