Going through the holiday food ads, and using our Handy-Dandy Pocket Calculators, we can find the price of ONE of the items that come packaged in boxes or packs. Since we so rarely buy just one, we may forget what one most nearly costs. Here are a few from the specials found in my junk mail. Slide your cursor over the answer to reveal it.
One Kellogs strawberry pop tart from a package 21 cents
One Pound of Maxwell House coffee in 3 pound can $1.66
One Holiday paper plate 10 cents
One Thomas English muffin 33 cents
One candy cane 7 cents
One 8 ounce serving of Pepsi in 2 liter bottle 12 cents
One Hershey chocolate kiss 7 cents
One Duracell AA battery (at Albertsons) 67 cents
One Rayovac AA battery (at Big Lots) 19 cents
One shot (2 oz) of Seagram Seven 51 cents
One glass (6 oz) of Coke 13 cents
One Hi-ball, coke and Seagram Seven, is, 64 cents
Order on from a bar and you pay ? Cents, I don't remember.
One color print from your film, when you buy fifty, 19 cents
One exposure on Fuji Quicksnap camera 13 cents
Making each picture 32 cents
To celebrate, one glass champagne, (6 oz), 2.35 dollars
(That must be the "good stuff")

prices seem cheap when you put it that way. hopefully your journal entries will operate like they use to real soon. You also are making me hungry
Well that is interesting. we needed to know those prices. Thanks, Paula
Last time I ordered a mixed drink from anywhere was much more expensive that the total cost. If I remember correctly, I think it was about $3 or $4.... Now I know why I don't go out anymore... ho hum, boring I know.... Jackie

I guess that means you've got it all working again. Hooray! Now I can stop worrying about you. So how come you removed the ones about how it wasn't working? - Karen

It sounds rather cheap when you put it that way. Shame it adds up at the register though. :-) I always seem to pay so much money for food, and then I look and say "What did I buy? I didn't buy THAT much." :-)
thanks for this thought provoking entry.
I'll spend my $$on the champaigne, thank you. Margo
