8 Lunch Sandwiches for $4.50 or Less!
We often make sandwiches on the weekends and, sometimes, for my husband to take to work. Sandwiches are easy to carry and are quick to make. We also find they are a great way to keep our weekly grocery budget in check. There are a lot of sandwiches that can be made inexpensively. A loaf of bread stretches for nearly a week, and you can even make your own if you want. We also will sometimes make a large chicken salad or egg salad that we can use for a few days. When you do the math, this makes ten dollars worth of ingredients last for nearly a week. Here are a few of our favorite sandwiches you can make for less than a Subway foot-long!
Breast of chicken = $.67 ($2.69/lb.)
Hot sauce = $.70 ($2.69)
A hoagie roll = $.70 ($4.19/6 pk.)
Cheddar cheese = $.50 ($2.79)
Blue cheese dressing = $.25 ($2.49)
Total = $2.82
