Have a fresh-made lunch for under $3

Hitting your mid-day stride and feeling hungry? You don't have to go broke eating out for lunch.

A sandwich is always good, especially when it's made the way you want, and at a great price.

We shopped Valley grocery stores to see which will save you the most cash on freshly-made sandwiches.

Right away we noticed a few differences among the stores.

Albertsons' doesn't offer made-to-order sandwiches unless you order 24 hours in advance, but they do offer pre-made sandwiches that range from $3.49 to $5.99.

Fry's gives you a choice of Boars Head or Private Selection meat.

For Boars Head you'll pay $6.99, and it's $2 cheaper for Private Selection at $4.99.

But I wasn't impressed because they don't put the condiments on the sandwich for you.

They give you a packet to do it yourself.

Bashas' did the work for us and charged $5.99 for a fresh-made sandwich.

Safeway has a whole sandwich area for you to choose what you want and charged a little less -- $5.49 for the same type of sandwich.

We found the best price at Sprouts.

Their sandwiches are made to order for just $2.99.  And I have to say, I love their sandwiches, they are fresh, tasty and cheap.
