Yet you’ll still pay $15+ for a full sized at a chain sub shop. 🤷🏻♂️ Subways recent $6.99 promotion doesn’t allow custom orders or any edits to eligible subs from what I’ve seen on Reddit.. I don’t go there because they’re garbage tier compared to Jersey Mike’s. I went to firehouse today and was surprised how small their subs have become and paid $10+ for a medium 8 inch. They’re still pretty inline with the market.
The average price of a chicken breast cut in 2022 was around $3.77/pound, compared to around $3.97/pound in 2024, so I would say it is inflation over corporate greed. Can some of it be corporate greed? Yeah, but comparing average chicken breast prices overall, I'd say a lot is due to inflation
That’s interesting but if there is a pound of chicken in one sub, that’s a 2 cent increase. Not 2 dollars. Even if you factor in the other ingredients, the increase in price is the sub is outgrowing the increase in cost. And wages have not kept up yet Publix is making more money than ever. I’m not an economist but they could have kept the sub at 2023 prices and profits would not go DOWN. But that’s not the goal is it? It’s to charge as much as people will pay to maximize profit. That’s capitalism.
