Com Dozen eggs = $1.28 Sausages = $2.98 for 14 Bisquick = $2.28 for 14 pancakes 1 lb bacon =$2. 98 So.. That equals $9.52 The limit here is the eggs, so 6 slams.. And food left over for the cook... $9.52 /6 = $1.58 per Slam... And that's at full retail pricing.. Not taking into account the discounts ordering in bulk. Yes, I know that is just supply cost, but I have proven you wrong once again. Lol You absolutely can feed someone 2 eggs, 2 sausage links, 2 pancakes, and 2 pieces of bacon, for less than $2.99 each. It's almost half that... You've got to argue everything to the death, don't you? My point was, you can't go and buy everything to make a slam for $2.99 And you proved my point. You would have to go to cheap-ass Walmart, and spend $9.52 (plus tax, which you omitted, plus gas in your 5 ton), to make a grand slam. Then, you want to mitigate the cost by saying how many Slams you could make. But if you're going to nit-pik like that, figure in your cooking expenses, gas, electric, etc. In the end, if your biggest bitch is the price of a Slam has gone up, you're doing okay... And if you have time to research prices on the Internet, you must be safe, too, which is also good  |

My first job was selling newspapers on the street @ 8yr old. Paper sold for $.25 of which I got to keep $.08 +tips And all the pay phones I my home town were 747-99## so all you had to do was click out the last two numbers Morse code style and your folks could just call you back. Come to think of it, wasn’t til I was in high school that you had to even dial the 747 part.... _________________ If it has Tits, An Engine, or a Point of Ignition, I'll probably be willing to have a look. |

Taking a contingency offer on the condo after the first two clowns fell out, then getting full price+ offers and about to hit the bump button.

Isn't there a requirement to have a lawn, before you can say "Get Off My Lawn!".

The amount of money some companies pay in per diem, I believe they expect for employees I find $5.99 breakfasts. If you’re traveling to a major metro area, you’re very unlikely to find that. I’m glad I don’t have to deal with that. _________________ BLACK HAMMER ARMS Buy A Suppressor http://www.silencershop.com/blackhammerarms Type 7 Class 2 SOT NFA Dealer 1911 Pistolsmithing Firearm Refinishing GLOCK Certified Armorer CMMG Authorized Dealer NEMO Arms Authorized Dealer http://www.blackhammerarms.com http://www.facebook.com/blackhammerarms https://www.instagram.com/blackhammerarms/ |
