Weight Loss Forum / Low Carb / January 2004Subway wrap expensive
I thought I read in one of the posts that the Subway wrap was $2.99. I tried the turkey/bacon melt today and while it was very good it costs me $4.79 and there really wasn't enough to it to keep me from being hungry. I came home and ate some cheese to supplement. > I thought I read in one of the posts that the Subway wrap was $2.99.

I > came home and ate some cheese to supplement. yeah. I saw it for $4.49 Canadian... I asked why it was cheaper than other locations and I was told "we need to raise our price, we have it priced incorrectly"... The regular price in Canada is about $5.19. Stupid expensive. it is small, and not that filling for me. Re the Subway wrap, it was expensive but it did fill me up for lunch. It tasted good but was also very messy.

Signature____________________ Remove "X" from email address to reply. I had a low carb wrap today and was very disappointed, it cost $4.50 and there wasn't hardly anything in it. Don't think I'll have another, I can make them at home. I use a low carb tortilla called Don Pancho. > I had a low carb wrap today and was very disappointed, it cost $4.50 and > there wasn't hardly anything in it.

It's 50 cents extra. I tried this tonight: got a roasted chicken with provolone cheese, lettuce, green pepper, cucumber, pickles, grated cheese and vinegar in a wrap. (Can anyone tell me how many carbs that was? I opted not to get tomato just in case). It's normally $3.49 in a roll, so with the 50-cent surcharge it was a wash in re the ballyhooed "Atkins wraps," which go for $3.99 here in northeastern PA. It was fairly filling and fairly tasty, but nothing special. As other posters have suggested, the best low-carb choice at Subway is probably a salad filled with all the veggies they have, and as much meat as you can talk the clerk into putting in it, topped with oil and vinegar. The wraps are OK once in awhile, but I can't get too excited about them. Regards, Eric M 269/260/205 :: Re the Subway wrap, it was expensive but it did fill me up :: for lunch. It tasted good but was also very messy. Yours must have been fuller than the tiny thing I had....I goobled it up and wanted two more. Oh, mine wasn't messy because it was so small -- that's why I'm speculating that yours was fuller than mine. :: Andrea > I thought I read in one of the posts that the Subway wrap was $2.99. > I tried the turkey/bacon melt today and while it was very good it > costs me $4.79 and there really wasn't enough to it to keep me from > being hungry. I came home and ate some cheese to supplement. I have one word for the Subway wrap: PATHETIC! The one I had last night had about the mass of HALF of one of their 6" subs. Looked NOTHING like the stuffed-to-capacity, decadently-dripping, double-fisted feast they show on the commercials and print ads. I could almost enclose the entire sandwich within my two hands. Total WASTE of money, and I will NOT be a return customer. ~Stretch~ I've had it a few times when I didn't have time to prepare lunch before work. It's $3.99 in NE Ohio and takes me through the work day. (Of course, I purposely take lunch late and am on my way home two hours later, ready to prepare dinner for my family.) I wouldn't get it every day (or even more than once/twice a week) but it's convenient and (as another poster put it) tasty.

I paid $3.95 (USD) today for the Turkey Bacon melt, and it was a bargain. It was completely filling and delicious. It cost less than the carby burgers or subs I used to gobble down. Hooray for Subway! Finally, good low-carb fast food!

Hooray for :: Subway! Finally, good low-carb fast food! I'm really starting to believe that the various subways are making these things differently. Mine was more wrap than anything else. It left me upset (it was delicious). Rog, i liked mine, and so did my wife. Plenty filling, tasty, affordable and convenient. i'll take a pic next time and post it so you can compare. > :: Dinah wrote: > ::: I thought I read in one of the posts that the Subway wrap was [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > things differently.

I have noticed same re Subway and different portions --- one Subway near me makes huge salads and packs them with meat --- another --- skimp skimp skimp! Andrea I thought so....I'm going in search of a decently filled wrap! :) :: I have noticed same re Subway and different portions --- :: one Subway near me makes huge salads and packs them with meat --- :: another --- skimp skimp skimp! :: :: Andrea I'd appreciate that very much! And I very much enjoyed mine, too, just to make that clear. I am a 250 lb dude, though, so maybe that why I saw it as a tiny little thing -- just enough to get my attention :) :: Rog, :: [quoted text clipped - 18 lines] ::: these things differently.

I think you may be right Roger; their training may not be consistent from store to store -- probably because it's such a new and different item. I've had two or three wraps on different occassions now (all from the same Subway store next door to where I work), and each one had so much filling that they could hardly get the tortilla shell wrapped around it. Yet I read other posts that say the opposite, including yours. BTW, I was amazed when the lady making the sandwiches told me that the new low-carb wraps were their current biggest sellers!

It was a fat one, and was 2.99. Very good. Before you all drive to Rocky Mount, We will go get another one to see if they have wised up.

If so, you're literally right down the road from me (I-95, that is). I'm in Emporia, VA, just over the line from NC. SignaturePeter website: http://users.thelink.net/marengo |
