    subway $5 footlong sandwich is not that good a deal
    everybody i know keeps tellin me that the five dollar footlong is such a great deal but why? its bread and vegetables mostly, they put very little meat on the sandwich. how about if you want a drink or chips then you leaving there spending 8 bucks or whatever people are all fooled into thinking its a good deal its not.

    it could be because subway is garbage. When I get the idea of having a sub, subway is not even on the list. And that deal is a crock of shit, it is all bread and their quality of ingredients is crap.

        Cold Cut Combo...toasted...Lettuce/pickles/american cheese. Top it off with the southwest chipotle sauce.

        Solid 5 dollar sandwich for lunch.

            even though this is the cheapest of almost all $5 footlongs, you almost nailed what i get as well

                  If you go the grocery store and buy a footlong loaf, vegetables, cold cuts, cheese, condiments it will cost more than $5, right?

                  No. The best deal for $5 is at the deli of the grocery store. I get a $5 footlong with all the meat and cheese I want there all the time.

                    I really like the meatball marinara....but for some reason i feel bad eating it, and thinking it's too fattening, when I'm sure the CCC is just as bad or close.

                      It beats Mcdonalds but is nothing outrageously good. I don't think the Subway franchisees are exactly raking in the profits with this.

                        No way...McDonalds is way better than Subway, in value and taste. Most subway's are owned by Indians (dots) which is why they give very little meat, charge $1 for fountain refills, and put one small napkin in your bag for a footlong sub and if you want more you have to go up to the counter.

                        I have nothing against them as a people...Im just pointing out my observation...Subway stinks.

                              1. what about health?

                              2. never heard of refills being charged a $1 at any subway ever. that sucks where you live

                              3. eat the food, dont get it all over you


                              who eats inside a fast food place anyway? that kind of defeats the purpose

                                its no deal, tastes average at best, fresh my ass, its just old meat, steak and cheese, you think its real steak....lol

                                I can get two huge fresh slices of pizza with a a pop for $3

                                Oh yeah the sub I ate had 900 calories and 2500mg of sodium, super healthy.

                                I'd rather go to the grocery store and buy fresh food.

                                  i have NEVER heard of any restaurant charging for refills on fountain drinks, much less a fast food joint.

                                    Subway isn't horrible it's just processed or over processed meat, lucky i have an Italian Deli close to the subway, about 1, 1.50 more for a 8 inch but what a difference.

                                      refills? what's that? Good luck finding those here in Canada.

                                        im sure it not only has good meat, but 3x more meat than subway for 4inches less of a sub

                                            Sonic does it. At least they used too, I quit going after they tried to charge me for a soda refill. Haven't been back since.

                                              no wonder I don't go to subway very often...just go to the local grocery store and get cold meats, veggies and bread and make your own damn sandwich and have left overs for another sandwich the next day.

                                                    I like the Arby's $1 sandwich for value. I'd rather have 3 of those over a Subway.

                                                      Yeah, that sucks. Not to mention, their food sucks as well.

                                                          I'm not sure how much longer Arby's will be around. Around me, there stores are always empty.

                                                          Beef n cheddar, not bad.

                                                              I can get two huge fresh slices of pizza with a a pop for $3

                                                              Oh yeah the sub I ate had 900 calories and 2500mg of sodium, super healthy.

                                                              I'd rather go to the grocery store and buy fresh food.
                                                              Where do you get two slices of pizza and a soda for 3.00? 1 slice is 3.00 where i live.
