SHOPPERS are looking for an economical way to make Subway sandwiches at home.
They recreate the classic snack, but use aldic ingredients.

Aldi sells cheese and herbs, whole wheat and Italian sandwiches for just 89 pence a pack – just like you’d find in Subway†
You should be able to order them online or find them in stores – but be quick. Shoppers rave about how good they are.
Foodies raved about the find on Facebook Group Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK†
In a post about making a low-cost version of the Metro BMT they said “Will never buy Subway again after making our own Italian BMT on Aldi cheese and herb buns for a fraction of the price.”
She continued: “It tasted exactly the same, if not better, and the bread is super soft. Also added cucumber, red onion and pepper.”
Other commentators were just as enthusiastic. One said, “I’ve been doing this for a while now and so much prefer my own to Subway – and so much cheaper!!!”
And another said, “Wow! I didn’t know this bread! I’m going to Aldi today.”
In addition to the popular lunch sandwiches, the shopper used these in her sandwich:
- Iceberg lettuce – 55p
- Pepperoni – 85p
- Calabrian ham – £1.09
- Peri Peri mayo – 69p
- Salami and smoked cheese selection – £1.79
All together it costs just £5.86 – and you can get more than one serving of the items
That’s compared to Subway, which charges £5.89 for just one Footlong BMT.
The lunch sandwiches are delivered in packs of four, so four tasty sandwiches for under the price of one.
to compare, tesco also sell finger rolls for 80p† These come in a pack of six, but keep in mind they are smaller and only available on white bread and not the popular Subway-style flavors like Aldi’s.
Morrisons sell a pack of four sandwiches for £1† There is also a seeded version available for the same price, but it comes in packs of two.
You can also find some Viennese multi-seed rolls Bee Sainsbury’s† You get four for €1.
Always keep ingredients in mind too – when you’re saving money, you want to make sure you’re getting the best deal on the filling, too.
Make sure to look around there – remember Tesco often has club card offers and you may find offers elsewhere only in the store.
But you don’t have to stop at just BMT either – there are other Subway favorites that can be replicated, if you feel like it.
For example the Spicy Italian is similar to the BMT – just without the ham – but you can play around and make it your own.
And Subway sandwiches aren’t Aldi’s only dupe — last year they sold a sausage and bean melt that was a whopping 72% cheaper than Greggs†
This year they even sold their own McDonald’s Big Maccomplete with breakfast hash browns.
It cost just £1.49 compared to £3.19 at McDonald’s itself.
