You're getting ripped off.
Who's your bread guy?
Indeed. I can grab a loaf of cheap white bread from my local grocery store for under $2 which is cut into 22 slices.
Cut those in half again and double your profit!
You are getting 22 slices? What brand are you getting? I feel like 16 is the standard but about 50% of the time I'm fairly certain it's only 15 or 17.
Meijer and Walmart store brands of cheap ass white bread are 22 slices, Kroger is 21, and for a name brand example Sunbeam is 22. Nicer bread like Pepperidge Farm or Brownberry/Oroweat tends to be in the range of 16 slices per loaf (baring the thin sliced stuff) though.
I would love to see your source. I don’t buy bread in bulk but I have a friend who owns a local restaurant in my town. I know how much he pays for the bread he serves for breakfast and it doesn’t get cheaper than that.

This is not the cheapest, you can get better pricing than this with a Costco business account. Your friend is probably not serving the lowest price bulk bread available, they probably have some self respect.
Well even with that bread you are still spending about $0.25 per sandwich on bread. I still don’t see how that’s profitable after adding cheese and butter. You could do it by drastically reducing the amount of cheese and butter but is it really a grilled cheese when you put a single shred of cheese on it?
Honestly the cheese and butter together will probably cost less that $0.25 bulk cheese is cheap as hell and you're using almost no butter per sandwich
If you buy enough cheese, it's essentially free on a per serving basis with the expense being the shipping.
I fight seagulls for it.
Youth these days think you buy everything and don't understand a little labour goes a long way.
I imagine fighting the seagulls would be like living in a post-apocalyptic future scavenging for food.
It's great practice to keep my katana skills sharp.

I’ll take your word for it. I’m not a member so it doesn’t show me the price. Looking forward to all the profitable $1 grilled cheese trucks coming soon.
You might be right about the profitability of the grilled cheese truck but it’s okay to admit you were wrong on the bread.
It’s the internet, not one really cares if you are wrong.
