$9 six inch
(my most recent, and probably last, Subway sandwich)
In high school, the local sub sandwich joint had a $3.95 meatball footlong special once per week.
Now you're paying more than double for half.
This math hurts my soul.

I think you can still buy hot dog and a soft drink at Costco for $1.50
reply
Yes, you can. They're losing money on it. Also they've done a lot to keep that cost so low.
One of the things is that they now no longer allow non-members to buy this deal. Also, they have their own hot-dog factories, and they switched from Coke to Pepsi (Pepsi is cheaper).

9 dollars at subway is unconscionable
I remember 5 bucks for 12 inches
Maybe it was 6 bucks
I have been to subway once in the last 2 years and I remember saying to myself, I'm not coming back

It was "5 dollar footlong". That was their slogan in the early 2000s
