Technically, maybe this could still be a little bit cheaper than buying the elements separately? Let’s say 2 to 3 dollars for a loaf of bread, 2 to 3 dollars for peanut butter, and 2 to 3 dollars for jelly. It’s around six dollars probably to make a peanut butter jelly sandwich but if you go to like the dollar tree or 99 Cents store, it’s around that same price. Here they save you the time to make it and just sell it like such..
But still, this is criminal

It’s more cost effective to by the ingredients

* Loaf of bread (22 slices) – $1.48
* Jar of peanut butter (16 oz) – $2.00
* Jar of jelly (30 oz) – $2.78
Which gives:
* Bread (2 slices) – $0.135
* Peanut butter (2 Tbsp) – $0.143
* Jelly (1 Tbsp) – $0.066
PB&J sandwich – $0.34
Packaging, label, and mark-up – $4.15 ≈ 1220%

Yeah that a lot. How about the uncrustables. I think I spelt that wrong. But anyways, parents are too lazy to make PB&J for the kids lunches. Price it out parents. Not this from OP, I’m guessing is at a convenient store. And I get that price.

People pay for convenience. That is nothing new. Wawa is essentially a convenience store. Say you’re driving on a long road trip and don’t want to pay $8-13 for a fast food meal that ia terrible for you, then this sandwich doesn’t look like a terrible option anymore

Prices really have gotten stupid.

Did you factor in that it’s new?

For that price you buy the stuff to make a pb&j!

You should see what IHOP charges for 16oz of OJ and apple juice

So one big reason I still buy shit like this (not *exactly* this, but prepackaged food to eat at home) is because if I buy a loaf of bread and jars of peanut butter and jelly, my fatass will eat 5 PB&Js. I am, at heart, a fat fuck. That’s exactly why I don’t keep any of these ingredients in my house, just things that are healthy or require work to prepare so that my cheap ass has to wage a war in my mind if I want to be upcharged to eat like shit.
It fucking sucks. I’m not some degenerate either, the only thing I can’t be consistent with in my life is food/diet.

Fuck WaWa.

Seems fair. Do they charge extra for it being soggy?
TypeNull-Gaming
I can buy the ingredients to make a minimum of 3 of those for the same price.
SlackJawGrunt
It’s not worth it the ratios are all wrong there should be more peanut butter than jelly
Ok_Relief_9815
This ain’t dumb. I’d buy it.

Pretty soon food at the airport will be cheaper than stores.

I went into the store yesterday for a basic turkey sandwich wrapped, ready to go. They were $5 not too long ago, reasonable at that price. $9 for the basic one. $14 for the deluxe one with lettuce. 8.99 for a better sandwich made at the counter. Fucking wild.

Someone will buy it — still even though.
That’s criminal
Over $5 already at Wawa
