mind you i tip the workers and im not including that in the cost so its more like $30 for 4 subs than $20 but I view that as a separate thing than the cost of the items since i am directly supporting the workers with that

Expectation: I can walk into Subway, and purchase a footlong for $5.
Reality:

that is a silly expectation in 2025
that being said âdownload the app and use a coupon code 3 times to get a fourth sub freeâ is not exactly hard instructions to follow

you have the music tastes of a 50-something and the coupon clipping mindset of a 70-something

itâs competing with âmake myself a sandwichâ, and there are many more scenarios where I might want to purchase exactly 1 large sandwich for $5 than scenarios where I would want to purchase four sandwiches close enough to each other that the promotions havenât expired yet

thereâs a not-that-expensive (though more expensive than $5/sandwich) sandwich shop thatâs like a block from my apartment and Iâm not sure whether Iâve been four times in the past year

if it was $5 for a foot-long sub I do think it genuinely starts to approach the price I would pay to put this together myself
the bread alone would be like $2 nowadays

so suffice to say I had not been going very often but now that Iâm aware of this I will probably be doing so more often until the $6.99 coupon is gone or the ability for those to count towards the free one is patched

I feel like this is still a bit unnecessarily complex for, like, a sandwich I might buy once/twice a month at most.
i mean in my case the shop is a two-minute walk from where i work so

regardless i dont care literally at all if any of you use this or not
but if itâs something that sounds useful to you, now you know
next time i have a cool money-saving tip i will be sure to not share it because every individual person for whom it is not appealing will make sure that i know specifically how little i have helped them

cool money-saving tip: having an IRL social life often involves expenses (eating out, transportation, activities with admissions fees, etc.) on the other hand, staying at home and spending all your time playing forum mafia is free (apart from internet, which realistically youâd be paying for anyway)

as a sidenote: the internet came on at like 12:30 AM, so I think possibly the company meant to say theyâd have it fixed by 8:30 PM yesterday (and then underperformed by like 4 hours)
