Makes me wonder what people are paying for bread, Kraft cheese (or a knockoff of the same) and butter/margarine.

Seriously, a single grilled cheese shouldn't be more than $1, it should be much less... At least in materials.... The cost of grilling it and cleaning up and whatnot should still be really cheap. Even if you wrap the sandwiches in wax/parchment paper or whatever and serve it, you should still be able to make a profit per sandwich. Whether you would be better off doing this rather than getting a job at McDonald's or whatever... That will depend on how popular the food truck is....

There used to be a vending machine in a hosiptal near me that would heat up a premade grilled cheese sandwich for £2. Being a vending machine in a hospital, they had to be making at least enough to cover the costs plus wastage. I'd say that somewhere with high footfall, especially on a cold day, you could make at least some profit from this.
