You’re getting ripped off.

Who’s your bread guy?

Indeed. I can grab a loaf of cheap white bread from my local grocery store for under $2 which is cut into 22 slices.

You are getting 22 slices? What brand are you getting? I feel like 16 is the standard but about 50% of the time I’m fairly certain it’s only 15 or 17.

Meijer and Walmart store brands of cheap ass white bread are 22 slices, Kroger is 21, and for a name brand example Sunbeam is 22. Nicer bread like Pepperidge Farm or Brownberry/Oroweat tends to be in the range of 16 slices per loaf (baring the thin sliced stuff) though.

Cut those in half again and double your profit!

I would love to see your source. I don’t buy bread in bulk but I have a friend who owns a local restaurant in my town. I know how much he pays for the bread he serves for breakfast and it doesn’t get cheaper than that.

I don’t buy in bulk, and I pay under $2usd for a loaf of basic white bread from any supermarket. After taxes, to be clear.

If I were to bulk buy / business discount, it would be less.

I’ll take your word for it. I’m not a member so it doesn’t show me the price. Looking forward to all the profitable $1 grilled cheese trucks coming soon.

This is not the cheapest, you can get better pricing than this with a Costco business account. Your friend is probably not serving the lowest price bulk bread available, they probably have some self respect.

Well even with that bread you are still spending about $0.25 per sandwich on bread. I still don’t see how that’s profitable after adding cheese and butter. You could do it by drastically reducing the amount of cheese and butter but is it really a grilled cheese when you put a single shred of cheese on it?

I fight seagulls for it.

Youth these days think you buy everything and don’t understand a little labour goes a long way.

I imagine fighting the seagulls would be like living in a post-apocalyptic future scavenging for food.
