It might be hard to believe, but this sandwich costs almost $400.
According to the Los Angeles Times, Japanese sandwich shop Sandoitchi is slinging some pretty expensive meals.
Most items are averagely priced, except for this one.
The A5 Wagyu Katsu and Caviar Sando is reportedly sold for a whopping $US250, which comes to about $394.
This meal (plus a few extra tacos not pictured) set one influencer back a pretty penny.
Apparently, the whole meal cost about $US102, coming to just over $160.
This is a pink sparkly caeser salad, which is exactly what it sounds like.
But it seems the sparkles don't come cheap!
This salad costs $US25, which in Australia is just shy of $40.
A single slice of pizza surely can't cost more than $10... right?
Wrong!
This slice of plain cheese pizza costs $US11, or about $17.
OK, we've learnt our lesson from the pizza – a single food item can be pricey.
But we didn't think it would go this far.
A single cinnamon churro (important to note no chocolate dip was involved here) costs a whopping $US10.
So, if you're not ready to spend almost $16 on some fried dough, maybe skip dessert.
Ah yes, the bahn mi, a staple in the cheap eats diary.
Except when you're at Coachella.
This bahn mi costs about $US24 which comes to just short of $38 here.
Surely a mini pizza won't break the bank...?
At $22, the price doesn't actually seem to bad at first.
Until you convert that to Aussie dollars, and find out you've just paid $35 for what appears to be four slices of plain cheese pizza.
Now, we'd be remiss not to mention some more affordable options.
If you're headed to Coachella, make sure you hunt down these Italian sandwiches.
Starting at just $US10 ($16), it seems to be one of the cheapest options at the festival.
And now we're back to more ridiculously overpriced meals!
This chicken burger is more expensive than it looks, with a price tag of $US24, or $38.
