Homeade Tuna Sandwich Vs. Subway Tuna Sandwich Costs
By Chongchen Saelee
Homeade Tuna Salad Sandwich
Ingredients purchased from Walmart
Subway Tuna Sandwich footlong as of 9/24/2016 is $6.95
Cheese Bread 4 rolls $3.00
Each roll is approx 6 inches x 2 equiv of footlong = $1.50Helmann’s mayonnaise 15 oz jar $2.98
Great Value mild cheddar slices $2.22
Mushrooms $1.38
Celery heart $2.18
Great Value Light Chunk Tuna 4-pack, 5 oz each, $2.96
Cucumber $0.58
Tomato x 3 = $1.88
So one tomato = approx $0.63Red Onion $0.81
So approx 20 oz of tuna including all ingredients looks to serve about 5 six-inch equiv sandwiches.
Sub-total $17.49
$17.49 / 5 = $3.49 per six inch
$3.49 * 2 = $7 footlong WASTE OF TIME AND MONEY
Time wasted grocery shopping and prepping about 1 to 2 hours.
Subway sandwich is only 5 minute drive and would include olives, spinach, vinegrette, pickled peppers, provolone and american cheese, 5 herb toasted bun, and can be made in less than 15 minutes
However, making it yourself allows you to add as much tuna per sandwich as want. In this case, I put almost same amount that would go into a Subway footlong into a 6-inch cheese bread roll. So maybe there’s more value in that.
Then again, as for time management, now I have enough pre-made tuna salad I can eat for next few days without having to drive to Subway. It evens out time and money.

Learning to Grocery Shop On A Budget (Or How To Grocery Shop As A Man)
Grocery Cart clipart courtesy of classroomclipart.com By Chongchen Saelee
I have no shame in the learning process. As I’ve said before, just by mere observation, men don’t know how to grocery shop. As for myself, having relied most of my entire life on my mother’s grocery shopping decisions, I hadn’t released how difficult it is to balance a good diet and budget. My target is to spend around $50 and eat for at least a week or two. Anyway, here’s yet another one of my receipts from today’s grocery shopping experience at Walmart: (more…)
