Subways five dollar menu is cheating us?

Question

Anyone notice most of the new five dollar footlongs were only $4.99 before they changed it to the five dollar menu? I know the meatball marina and the BLT were two of the subs that were cheaper before. Does subway think we are stupid and not notice this?

Answer 1

OMG I know!!!! I was gonna post this same question! in my town the meatball sub was $4.30! now its $5.00 wtf? Like seriously did they really think that we wouldnt notice?! And I agree the $5.00 footlong was a great deal for subs over $5.00 but come on!

Answer 2

It's marketing at it's best....  They hope enough people ARE stupid enough not to notice....but then again....what can you do about it?  Either pay the price or don't.

Answer 3

well, many other brands have tricked you before using this method. All sales and discounts are somewhat  a trick. Remember you can make a statistic say anything you want. It has been proven that if you tell someone they can buy something for $2.50 or they could get it 2 for $5 most people would react to the later rather than the $2.50, why u ask? cuz people are pretty stupid consumers on average.

Answer 4

Probably.

Answer 6

Around the Madison area, the subs that are now on the five dollar menu were between five and six dollars already, so no, they are not cheating anyone. I would say that a rule of thumb for a deal like this is that if said item costs less than it did before, it is a deal.

Answer 7
