Don't do math Dave, it's never worth figuring out how old you are. :)

$5.97/lb I used the same measurements you did in your post.  Those
were also walmart.ca prices as their website is the easist one to
nagivate for that stuff.

Yes it is.  Now we are back to a two income family in about a year when
we have paid down the credit card debt we racked up just trying to stay
afloat things might look brighter! ;)
