<p>That’s about what you’d pay at the Whole Foods in Boston although some sandwiches would be a little bit less and some a little bit more. They do not include a pickle though. I would guess that the food that you’re getting is organic or at worst, “all natural”.</p>
<p>I don’t usually get sandwiches at the deli, but I think one at the deli counter of my grocery store is probably about $6. Packaged- without chips/pickle or drink.</p>
<p>But you can get a Bahn mi at a Vietnamese sandwich shop just a couple bucks.
Much tastier than turkey on whole wheat w mayo too.

<p>If you send your W for the food you don’t have to be concerned about the cost since you won’t be handing the cash over yourself - out of sight out of mind.</p>
<p>Our closest local shop is a great deal. 4.25 for a good sized turkey with cheese on rye. The 6 inch sub is 3.25. 6.50 for the 12 inch which easily fills up 2 people. The quality of the bread,meat and cheese is good. Nothing like the measly amount of meat you get at subway.
The majority of the shops are between 7 and 12 bucks.</p>
<p>In AL, a pre-made 6" turkey sub sandwich would be $2.99-$3.99 at the grocery store. A specially made one with all the toppings and condiments would be $4.89 for a 6", $6.39 for a whole (sometimes $4.99 on sale), 80 cents more for Boar’s Head brand meat.</p>
<p>In WA/OR/ID/NV, a pre-made sandwich would be around $3.49 and specially-made sandwich at the grocery store would be around $7.50. Some grocery stores make basic turkey sandwiches on old-fashioned white or wheat bread (think Oroweat/Arnold brand bread) for $2.48 or a loaf of french bread with around 2 pounds of seasoned turkey breast (no cheese, vegetables, or condiments) for $5.48.</p>
<p>There’s a massive difference in turkey. Much turkey is not actual turkey breast but processed turkey that has been formed into a shape. That is the kind of thing you find in cheapo subs - including at some chains like Subway, where you have to be aware of which subs use real meat. I could walk up to 7/11 and buy a cheap turkey sandwich but it’s really a sandwich using a processed meat called turkey. The Stop and Shop has basic processed turkey subs for just a bit more. </p>
<p>I would bet, for example, that Barry’s in Waban, MA roasts turkey and cuts it. </p>
<p>The difference then to Katz’s is that Katz’s also roasts its turkey but serves you a vast quantity. I’ve been in delis in NJ, for example, where the small is a half pound - of actual meat - and no one orders that. The regular is a full pound.</p>
<p>If a Barry’s or Katz’s doesn’t roast, then it gets roasted breasts from a supplier. Not a Boar’s Head. At the fabulous Brookline Spa*, a Boar’s Head sub is $6.79 or $7.79 in various varieties of Boar’s Head meat. </p>
<p>*A “spa” is a package store in olde New England. This particular spa is now a sub shop and pizza place that’s shockingly good and little known outside a four block radius - and by all the plumbers because they go to the plumbing supply business located in the back of the building.</p>
<p>If an Ann Arbor resident can break away from their hanky for a moment, I’d love to hear what one costs at Zingerman’s Deli. I recently paid around $15 to $17 for a lean pastrami but can not recall what a Turkey sandwich cost. It was probably the best deli sandwich I’ve ever had.</p>
<p>At Fortuna’s in Westport, CT a small is $5.79 and a large is $7.49 – with real turkey. Both come with lettuce and tomato on a Portuguese roll or other choice of bread, plus pickle and bag of chips. (They also offer an apple as an alternative to the chips.) But the reality is, if you’re going to Fortuna’s, you’re probably going to get a Godfather Hero, not a turkey sandwich.</p>
<p>No real delis in my immediate area- Northwest of Boston. A sub shop would run ~ 5.50, I’m guessing Subway would be the same. Panera would be pricier, 8-10 depending on what’s on it.</p>
<p>Most good sandwich shops charge between $6 and $8 in Boston – some of my favorite sandwiches are at Flour, where all sandwiches are $8, and Darwin’s, where they’re mostly $7 something depending on the type. You can definitely get cheaper at Subway or banh mi in Chinatown for $3.50. I’m talking about counter-service places – you can definitely find more expensive sandwiches at sit-down restaurants.</p>
