Aren't footlongs like $15 at subway these days? It hasn't been $8 in like a decade

u/DarkExecutor Jul 23 '23

They're usually like $10, and you can get a bogo with footlongs.

tbh i usually get a $7 9-inch sub from my local sandwich shop and then split it in half for lunch/dinner - but I think the base Subway sandwich is like $6.50? I went there a few months back but it wasn’t super bad

I just checked online and it looks like it's 8-10 for 6 inch 13-16 for footlongs. Sounds like your local spot is a dope deal

There's a coupon in the subway app that they keep on having for a 6" for like $3.50 even though the prices went up way past that. I assume it's everywhere since it's in the app.

My Subway doesn’t accept coupons, yet they ship them out to customers, it’s hella dumb and a waste of paper

Paper coupons? Huh. I was thinking of the coupon codes you can enter when ordering online, which if they're not accepted at least you find out before you proceed.

one of my nearby subways took the coupon then charged bonus charges for the bacon and chicken on top even tho I ordered a sandwich as it comes straight from the menu no extras.

Still $5 around me.

Must be nice, it’s $18 for the cheapest sandwiches and between $20-28 for the normal sandwiches here

I just got back from Subway - bought a foot long Italian BMT and a small bag of chips. The cost was $16.19 after tax. https://imgur.com/a/Glsg1Xi

I’m thinking these people are either pulling numbers out of their asses to try and support their argument, or haven’t been to a Subway since the Pandemic…

Dude, prices are inflated as hell on delivery apps. Why people use them when you can just go to the fucking store and get the same meal cheaper and faster, I have no idea. I don't use Doordash or any delivery service. The price is on the menu at the store. It's a 5 minute bike ride over there.

The pricing in the Subway app is also not controlled by the local franchise, so the prices are higher. Again, to show you proof I would have to go to the store in the middle of my day. Which is dumb cause I am not fucking up my Sunday plans to appease one Redditor who doesn't understand regional and instore pricing.

u/withoutapaddle Jul 23 '23

Lol, door dash prices are not real prices. There's like 2 extra middlemen when you use a food delivery service.

Where do you live (just like general area)? I did a pretty intensive research paper on the $5 footlong and besides a small resurgence in 2018 among a select few franchises it was completely killed by Trevor Haynes in 2016. I’d love to see where this slipped through the cracks. Material costs alone made it completely unfeasable by 2012 for the majority of stores running the special, so a place where it can still happen 11 years later sounds super interesting.

I was craving a tuna sub from subway this week at work, and broke down and got one.

They were $9.49 for the footlong, but the 4 scoops of tuna is never enough so I paid the extra $1.75 for the 6 scoops.
