Interesting, but what kind of beef is only $2 a pound. Ground? and the "value" kind right?
great post!
Your chart looks fabulous! Gotta go get some eggs and gas in the mail to you!
When I first saw the title of this post it reminded me of that old game show where you get to go through and shop for a certain amount of time based on the questions you answered correctly.
Anyways...I enjoyed the comparisons. Gas is one of those things you hate to spend your money on but you don't really have a choice.
