Usually you can go to a bakery and get a much better sandwich, from fresh ingredients and usually much cheaper than what you'd get prepackaged.

- maccard 7y agoPretty much every town or villiage in the UK has a Tesco/boots/coop, all of which offer pre packaged sandwiches for less than £2. I don't think I've ever come across a bakery that sells pre made sandwiches for that price. YMMV on the mainland though
- NeedMoreTea 7y agoMy experience mainly outside the South East is virtually every half decent UK bakery will make barmcakes and sandwiches to order, for about the same or if they are more it's only by a little - say 10-40p. Yet you'll usually get vastly more fillings, so they work out much cheaper, along with scope for customisation. The chain bakeries like Gregg's etc just offer the same sort of carefully rationed pre-pack choices as supermarkets.
- lrem 7y agoWait, really two pounds? In Dublin it used to be more like a fiver...
- maccard 7y agoTesco has them for €3 https://www.tesco.ie/groceries/Product/Details/?id=288175714 https://www.tesco.ie/groceries/Product/Details/?id=288175714, and I'm sure Spar/Mace have their own versions which manage to be cheaper. £1.90 in Tesco in the UK https://www.tesco.com/groceries/en-GB/products/274622236 https://www.tesco.com/groceries/en-GB/products/274622236 If you go back to ~2015 or so, befire the pound tanked, the numbers were pretty much the same.
- lrem 7y agoI remember Spar specifically in the €4-€5 range.
- seszett 7y agoMaybe not in the UK, but in France it is quite normal to have ~3€ sandwich in a bakery. Not premade though, they would make it on demand.
