Just needing something to analyze, eh?
Someone had to do it.
Hey, I always wanted to price out sandwiches (very frugal of you!) Thanks for the tips!
You're welcome. I was surprised PB&J came out that cheap.
now you need to analyze cost versus health. For example, PBJ may be significantly cheaper than turkey, but taking into account that turkey is probably healthier than PBJ (at least if eaten on a regular basis), what is the adjusted value? :)
Well, that's a completely different subject...
I was actually thinking about this just recently 'cause I was trying to justify the price of hot pockets. They're about $3 for a box, right? So $1.50 each...but I want to know what happens when you factor in the time it takes to get out all your ingredients and wash the knife and stuff. 'Cause I really like a hot Hot Pocket for lunch.
It's probably faster to make a PB+J or lunch-meat sandwich than it is to nuke hotpockets.
