I don't know where you buy your meat but 14.50 will get about a pound of good corned beef or pastrami, which will make about 4 sandwiches, a loaf of bread will cost me 3.99 then whatever the cost of the TI dressing, and a couple of bucks for the sauerkraut etc. then I've spent an hour and half of my time which when I was working would have been ~$81.00 but since I'm not working my benefit pay is ~$15 driving 30 miles at the government rate of 58.5cents a mile equals ~17.55 or at the charitable rate of .14/mile still equals 4.20...

Then I have to wash the griddle...and so it goes.
