The staff of cockeyed.com (it might just be this one guy named Rob, and sometimes his friends), has a series called “How Much is Inside?” which attempts to figure out how much mundane items should cost. Recently, they tackled the sandwich.
He weighed and measured and inspected every ingredient in your average turkey & cheese, grilled cheese, and peanut butter & jelly. And after some very funny and intelligent writing, he found this:
- Processed turkey sandwich: 93¢
- Grilled cheese sandwich: 48½¢
- Peanut butter and jelly: 64¢
But that’s not all. Rob went all out and created the Sandwich Price Calculator, where you can assemble your own sandwich and see how much it should cost.

If a sandwich is more expensive than 35 cents, I’ll be shocked.
Prepare to be shocked.
What? And I thought the $5 footlong subway sandwich was a good deal.
