OP, what region are you from? I remember sushi being really cheap in Sydney and it was considered a go-to for students. But here in the States it's more expensive and (at least in Dallas and Denver) you don't really want to go to anything less than a sit-down restaurant for it.
I live in Australia, sushi shops are everywhere in our cities. You can get a hand roll for around $3-$4.
Three hand rolls for $10 is a cheap lunch here.
Are these dollarydoos? I mean it's cheap even if USD, damn, here we can really just get it delivered, and then it's like 20/25€ per person kind of thing for run of the mill sushi. I think some of the more expensive supermarkets sometimes have small boxes but these are gross and not that much cheaper.
Still, I'll always remember checking out the sushi stand at Mexico airport and figuring out after checking my conversions that they were 7/8$ PER SUSHI! I stopped complaining about my local prices after that.
I wish Sushi could be a go to for me. I live in Ireland and sushi tends to be expensive here and relatively hard to find outside of the city center.
I assume the coastal regions have significantly cheaper sushi than Dallas and Denver.
Up here in PNW sea food is the cheapest thing around. Hell I can throw a rock at a seafood shop from my window (literally).
There was a sushiya or something like that in my cafeteria in Texas University so I'd get a spicy tuna roll every now and then for lunch. This was a decade ago.
Sushi must've nene invented by a poor student
"Man, I'm hungry. What do I have left? Let's see... cold rice, soy sauce, a few small chunks of fish from yesterday and there's some seaweed growing in the fish tank? There has to be a way to turn this into something!"
In Japan, sushi is definitely one of the more expensive foods. You can't really use yesterday's fish as authentic sushi uses fresh fish which you can't eat the next day for obvious reasons.
I make sushi weekly.
I've had thanksgiving sushi - turkey, rice, cranberries and breenbeans
Pizza sushi - rice pepperoni, pizza sauce and cream cheese
Normal fish sushis
Burger sushi, old burg meat, tomato, lettuce and cucumbers
Also made special sushi for my dog that had rice and various scraps of meat/chicken feet etc...
It's literally endless. It's 100% my new sandwich sin e I've stopped buying all breads
I don't think I could ever get sick of sushi!
Anyone on here like supermarket sushi?
oddly yeah. it's not as good as the real deal shops but if I get a random urge or if I am strapped for time for lunch/dinner, i'll go pick up one of the 15$ multi packs the place around me does
does enough for me to fulfill the craving for another few days when it pops back up again 😂
The supermarket near me has a few people preparing fresh sushi right there every day. That one's great, I honestly like it better than the actual sushi place a few streets over
Inari's usually OK.
So we can be hungry again in time for supper? Lol
But seriously sushi is amazing
Okay Mr moneybags, or should I say Mr Krabs?
Chicken snitzel sandwich on rye with lettuce jalapenos cheddar cheese and Mayo always fits the bill

Ew, raw fish.
This poster is obviously not a shark.
No No No ! I am definitely a shark. I uh... Am on diet, yeah ! I definitely like raw fish, mmmm, raw fish... Being vegetarian would be a disgrace to any shark.
See it's funny to me that people complain about raw fish in sushi, but have no issues with Jerky, prosciutto etc.
So long as it is prepared correctly, it is fine. In the case of fish in sushi, it has to be soaked in vinegar to kill any bacteria. Similar to how prosciutto is salted in its production.
