Holy cow!
I do Subway occasionally (Cold Cut Combo every time), so I’m somewhat familiar with their pricing...and $18 is crazy! It’s that reason I very seldom do fast-food anymore.
Well, I don’t do cold cuts (processed meat scares me) so I try to stay with “whole” meats, such as chicken breast. Yeah, it’s a little more expensive, but ALL of their sandwiches have gone sky high thanks to bidenomics.
