How Much is Inside a Sandwich?

I'd guess that 60% of the lettuce wouldn't make it into sandwiches at all, raising the per sandwich lettuce price to 5¢

Adding tomatoes to a sandwich turned out to be surprisingly expensive.

33.8 grams at $2.99 per pound makes for a 22¢ serving.

Substituting ketchup is still a bad idea.

Finally, some processed sandwich meat. This Oscar Mayer Turkey was $2.99 for 16 slices or 18.5¢ cents per slice.

Oscar Mayer Beef bologna was a little more, $3.84 per pound or 24¢ per slice.

And there you are! Bread + Mayo + Mustard + Cheese + Lettuce + Tomato + Turkey + Mayo + Bread = Sandwich and sandwiches cost 95¢!

Or more.

Or less.

Processed meat and cheese is generally cheaper than deli meat and cheese. One of my favorite sandwich meats is roast beef, but it is expensive at about $8.99 per pound.

For example this 1.7 ounce serving (56 grams) of roast beef was 99¢.
