Hey, IF some dolf wants to part with 8 bucks for a peanut butter sandwich, that’s their problem.

How many dolts shell out good money for “US” Magazine? Or donate to the Terrorist Cheerleaders’ Party (dnc, for those of you in Rio Linda)?

If not on premium bread (IOW, getting a 49 cent loaf from Aldi’s), the bread for a two slice sandwich is about a nickel, and the total PB cost per would be something like a nickel, for a total of about a dime. Using Jif (Skippy? wth?) from Sam’s Club the cost would still be in that area. Using the Pepperidge Farm bread would of course push up the price to, hmm, I dunno, haven’t bought any of that in years. At $3 a loaf (I’ll bet it’s even more than that) would raise the bread cost to 30 cents.

Marlboro Red runs $4.84 (best price) a pack around here.
