At the local grocery store, the baked potato bar is $5.99 for “a potato and whatever you want to put on it.” The salad bar is charged by the ounce, and is typically around ten bucks for a salad. The difference is that one container includes a potato and one does not.
Put a potato in your salad! Save $4! Eat your fruits and vegetables and live to be a million, which will be great, because you will have a lot of money left over to play with you in your old age.
