    Are you in the US? If you are I hate to break it to you, but the cost of meat(yes cold cuts) alone will put you at close to $10. Cheese is right behind that.

      Technically, a half pound of shitty cold cuts and a half pound of low quality cheese and a loaf of basic ass bread, they could probably 3/4 it for sandwiches if they were degenerates and added no vegetables or condiments further than the packets that they guilt saved from their last visit to Arby’s/Taco Bell.

      I pay about 3.50 a lb for turkey at costco. Another 3 a lb for cheese and a 3 dollar loaf of bread from a local bakery will make me about 6-10 sandwiches. I also use slices of onions which I always have around to cook with dinner. Maybe some lettuce and mayo… still talking like 4 bucks a sando

        The nearest Costco is 20 miles from me. Walmart would be the next cheapest thing. A lb of meat there is close to $7. Then there’s Shoprite which is usually around $8-$10 a lb. They’ve been sneaking up the last few times I’ve been there. Prices around me are cooked. With a family of 5, a lb of anything that isn’t frozen is gone in 3 days.
