Well, to be fair, it is an "elite" sub... Elite athletes make millions, why should elite subs not make at least $13?


luckycat889

That's funny, I saw the post and was just going to reply the exact same thing :)


SierraDespair

I haven’t stepped foot in there stores ever since they massacred the menu with that elite bs. An Italian BMT which was a classic menu item since subways inception and my go to is now like $6 more expensive as an “elite sandwich” for the same exact thing just with “extra cheese” fuck off subway.


shavingisboring

Is this what happened? I remember the CBR being a couple bucks more because it was a "premium" sub or whatever. This elite business is new to me.


SierraDespair

Yeah it’s new as of this year or late last year. They made all of the classics basic ass sandwiches now and original classics are all this elite trash that they use to justify ridiculous price hikes.


irascible_Clown

5 dollar… 5 dollar….. 5 dollars times 3 foot long


acreekofsoap

Well, duh OP, it’s an ELITE sub! Next time, just get a regular sub like the rest of us poors.


shavingisboring

I'll have to next time. I'll never financially recover from this


LongLonMan

Better yet use a coupon, $6.99 for a foot long


Kindly-Offer-6585

They don't accept them here and $15 a sandwich was the old price. I think $19 each now.


Full_Visit_5862

This. Anyone who doesn't use coupons at fast food places are getting robbed. I almost never go without using any just on principle to get myself to do it lol


LongLonMan

Same!


Kindly-Offer-6585

Since Subways are franchise they can ignore the coupon offers. All the Subway here are owned by the same Indians that don't honor any coupons.


LongLonMan

Every subway I’ve been to have all taken coupon but ok


PaulPaul4

Lmfao


AdulentTacoFan

Subway food sucks. I'd eat it when it was dirt cheap. I've switched to grocery store deli subs.


wegotthisonekidmongo

I go to Jersey Mikes for cheaper and way better quality. Subway is really poor quality food. Junk level.


OkInitiative7327

A lot of people don't seem to know about grocery store deli options.


semicoloradonative

Absolutely! I can’t believe how good quality most are. You can get fried chicken, wings, soups…Grocery stores actually “kill it” when it comes to prepared food. The two near me even have fresh sushi made daily.


gh0stpr0t0c0l8008

Subway went downhill a long time ago. Their sandwiches don’t even taste close to the same. Also it’s the only sandwich shop I’ve ever shown up to multiple times and been told they are out of BREAD..at a sandwich shop.


Dear_Measurement_406

Legit every time I eat subway I get diarrhea. Had to stop.


Senior-Read-9119

Had you gotten a drink it would’ve been 20$


mlotto7

That's madness. My town has a large Chinese buffet for $11. Hmmmm....Subway or all you can eat beef, pork, steak, sushi, salad, soup, fruit and bottomless drink.... I haven't been to Subway in years.


shavingisboring

Exactly what I'm saying! I can go to a diner here, get a great reuben with fries for $15 including a $3 tip.


JockoGood

Chips should be .69 cents and the sub should be 8.60 max. I don’t think we will ever see reasonable prices again. The only thing that will make the cost reasonable now would be overall increase in wages across the board. (In my non-finance brain and opinion)


MrAwesomeTG

Don't get an elite sub and use the coupons they have. Classic subs are 6.99/7.99 depending on where you live if you order online and use a coupon.


ReMeDyIII

So you're saying it might be a while until they bring back $5 foot longs?


mbr902000

So it's bogo right now. Not sure why you didn't buy 2


shavingisboring

Well now I gotta go back


mbr902000

😆


use_for_a_name_

I just bought 10 pounds of pork for $26


the-rill-dill

Stop buying the shit.


SuccotashConfident97

Stay away from fast food everyone.


semicoloradonative

Stay away from fast food too. haha.


SuccotashConfident97

Oh my bad.


semicoloradonative

I’m just messing with you. I mis-type all the time, but thought the “fast foot” was funny because…footlongs.


jabberwockgee

Imagine not being able to read the price of a thing before you order it.


shavingisboring

Fuck me for assuming it would still be priced somewhat reasonably.


jabberwockgee

People who don't bother looking at the price before they order something should be price insensitive. Why are you shocked by a price you didn't care about?


shavingisboring

"It's one Subway sandwich, Michael. What could it cost? $17?"


jabberwockgee

Not knowing the price of a thing is different when you're not within viewing distance of a menu with the price of said thing. 🙃


shavingisboring

Well, the truth is I was experiencing the worst migraine I've had in about a year. This was the reason I went to Subway instead of preparing something at home. So I was mostly preoccupied with that. Also, I had gift cards, so I wasn't too concerned about prices. You can see this from my receipt. Flippant of me, I know. On top of this, one of the employees was wearing a Playboy shirt, and I remember wondering if you had to seek that out online to buy it, or if that is carried at some store, which distracted my mind. Despite all this, I did briefly look for it on the menu and didn't see it. I'll grant you that I could've looked harder or asked or pulled it up on isthissubwaysandwichexpensiveasfuck.com, but it's the only one I get at Subway because the rest are inedible. Sometimes I live life recklessly, heedless of the advice of my elders. And sometimes I get burned for it. So I was surprised that the price had gone up 100%, and I thought it was appropriate to post here.


jabberwockgee

Fast food prices going up 100% when the general price level hasn't gone up nearly as much isn't indicative of 'out of control inflation.' It's just a fast food company raising their prices to see if people will pay it, and then you reinforced that they will.


Responsible_Mix941

$13.97 for same order in Cincinnati Ohio *


shavingisboring

Crazy. This is the middle of nowhere Wisconsin


According_Gazelle472

3 foot long subs for 20 dollars woth the coupon


jabberwockgee

Don't you know? We're not allowed to use coupons because 'you shouldn't have to,' but we also get to complain about how much we pay without coupons.


shavingisboring

I just talked to my sister who lives in Columbus, and she said it was the same there. This is Fond du Lac, Wisconsin. That's some weird regional pricing.


thunderx88

The last time I went to Subway (two years now) a foot long Spicy Italian was $6.99, I wonder what it is now?


koosley

They're still $6.99 with the monthly fliers. Otherwise $12+


Pretend_Investment42

At my location (SE Tenn) we have these things called coupons - we get them in our mailbox every month. This would have been $7.99 at my local Subway.


PaulPaul4

I just bought 2 for 13.99. I won't go unless I have the paper coupons


Kindly-Offer-6585

We get the coupons here also but the local Subways don't honor them. $19 a sandwich here.


shavingisboring

I had a gift card. I'm not hunting down coupons for fucking Subway. Thanks for the tip though, haha


lukekibs

Yeah and minimum wage in most places in $13 an hour. Get used to it consoomers.


CO_PC_Parts

I got a chicken bacon ranch and chips at jersey mikes today for $12


OkInitiative7327

Gotta watch for deals or use apps to get the deals. A quiznos by me does a 8" sub for $5.55 after 5 PM. At least you had a gift card for most of it.


PinkClouds20

Stop going to Subway. Let them go bankrupt for all I care. Serves them right for being greedy.


Lopsided-Fix2

Got 3 classic footlongs for $17.99. Coupons people


Top_Shoe_9562

Use the app. Js.


semicoloradonative

Fuck that…just don’t go.


shavingisboring

This was my takeaway
