Right, how much it costs in a restaurant is quite different from how much it costs in the supermarket. Makes sense to me. Although Ray does have a point, how much are breakfast buffets usually? $6- $7/pound? Salad bars that are all cold are usually $4.99/pound or more, a hot food bar is usually more than that so 39c/oz doesn't sound ridiculously cheap. I assume there is also eggs and stuff?
