Where are you where it would cost more than $1. Buying product in bulk would be very cheap.
I live on earth. Even if you’re buying bulk, it will still be more than a dollar to make. The bread alone bought in bulk would still be around $0.25 per slice. That’s 50 percent of the cost right there.

Here's bread from Walmart for about $0.06 per slice.

And butter for about $0.25 per ounce (you might use .5 oz per sandwich.) EDIT: checked my butter in my fridge, you're probably using 1/4 of an ounce per sandwich if that.
And none of these are in bulk, you can probably cut the cost in half or less buying even more generic products in bulk.
So about $0.25 of ingredients per sandwich + labor. Seems feasible.
