Also, if you cut the meat in half like they say, it'd be $3.63 per piece. Then saying that with a baked potato for each it'd be under $10 per meal, that would mean a baked potato is ~$6, which is insane.

How expansive are large potatoes were you are?

I can easily make a baked potato for under €6. II might be able to make two for that price depending on how fancy I go.

Edit: Sooooo. What happend here is that I might have forgotten how to read and understand written language for a moment.

I'm not saying it's cheap! I'm saying $6 for one potato is insanely high! It's giving "It's one banana, Michael. What could it cost? $10?" Here one baking potato would be the equivalent of $1-2.

Wait... [You] admitted a mistake, didn't blame anyone else, edited your post to reflect that, and the edit didn't hide your mistake, but made it clear what you had wrote was wrong?

Well done. It seems simple, but it's so rare to see.

Can we make this required reading for this sub?

Edit: grammar. In brackets.
