Mark wanted to know how a
gallon of milk could disappear in just a few days. It all started when I
mentioned his black and white cookies. Delicious black and white cookies that
Mark makes every once in awhile. I was debating with him whether or not it was worth
it considering the mess he made baking them. The conclusion was that yes, it is
worth the mess. But Mark was not in the mood for baking cookies, he had just
baked a batch of brownies the day before. So he bought a small box of them at
Trader Joe's. Ten little black and white cookies in a box. And, they were
almost as good as the ones Mark bakes. Anyway, if you are going to leave
cookies and brownies laying around the house, you have to expect the milk to
disappear. The Trader Joe cookies only cost $2.99, but is that the full cost of
cookies? No, it is not.
- · Cookies - - $2.99
- · Gallon of milk - - $3.00
- · Dog treats (for dogs who expect a cookie for every cookie you eat) - - $0.10
- · You eat 10 cookies, 2 dogs, 20 dog treats - - $2.00
- · Crestor co-pay for your increased cholesterol - - $15.00
- · New pair of stretchy, Dockers fat man pants - - $40.00
So you can see, those cookies
cost me much more than two dollars and ninety nine cents. And if you think that is bad, you should see the
total when Mark makes ribs with mac and cheese along with collard greens and ham hocks. That price includes a six pack of Corona beer and another pair of stretchy, Dockers fat man pants.
