The fan favorite food court item is now noticeably more expensive then it used to be, and shoppers aren’t happy.
The instigating Reddit post on the thread from Friday said: “Turkey provolone is 75 percent more expensive, used to be $3.99.
“For me the appeal was you got a decent cheap meal.
“But now around this price you can get better meals elsewhere.”
Other shoppers priced the sandwich at a dollar more expensive than it was back in 2018.
The sandwich contains turkey breast, provolone cheese, red onions, tomatoes and garlic mayonnaise.
FAN REACTION
Fans have expressed their displeasure in the comments, with many giving their own theories as to why the sandwich price went up.
One person suggested that it is simply due to a lack of demand for them.
They suggested: “That’s why no one is buying them. All their $6.99 offerings have been huge flops.
“Give this a couple of months and they rotate it again.
“They don’t understand that it’s the price not the item.”
It was also said that the reason the sandwich has gotten more expensive is because of rising meat prices.
Another consumer wrote: “Unlike the roast beef which was overpriced, a Publix turkey sub is $7.69 for half and $10.99 for the whole this is right in the middle of those calories wise at least so that seems like a solid deal.
“I love a sandwich but deli meat is expensive now.”
And a third wondered if its because rising costs have dictated attention on higher margin products.
Costco classic food court items
Hot Dog with Soda – $1.50 Pepperoni or Cheese Pizza slice – $1.99 Rotisserie Chicken Caesar Salad – $6.99 Turkey and Swiss Sandwich – $6.99 Double Chocolate Chunk Cookie – $2.49They noted: “Food courts are already understaffed.
“Can’t bring back fresh produce to put on the pizza and have to hire more people for a very low margin product.
“As for the churros, cookies are probably easier to ship frozen which also cuts down on prep time.”
It is true that prices are rising on items like cheese, making it more of a risk for Costco to invest in a sandwich that is going to cost them more to make.
This could mean that the price of the sandwich was raised as a way to combat rising food costs.
However, it is important to note that this has not been directly confirmed by Costco.
It is not known why the item went up in price, The US Sun has reached out to Costco for clarification.
