Is The Most Expensive Sandwich At Costco Worth Its Price Tag?

The Costco food court menu offers a range of foods that come and go, including its most expensive sandwich, a bulky, bready affair featuring roast beef that costs $9.99.
Introduced in February 2023, the sandwich had sliced roast beef, cherry tomatoes, lettuce, red onions, and a mayo-mustard blend on a thick artisan roll. It was axed a year later.
Many Redditors found it similar to something you could make at home and simply couldn't get past paying $10 for one of the bulk retailer's sandwiches.
One clever person did the math — for the price of one roast beef sandwich, you could get four hot dogs, four drinks, and two slices of pizza. That's enough to feed a family.
Indeed, the sandwich seemed like an outlier on a menu full of $5 or less items, especially considering it didn't include a drink or sides.
