Something Sweet Is Never Cheap!

I asked my husband to bake a peach pie because he is a better baker than I am. I have a problem making a pie crust but it's easy for me to make the fillings for the pie. He didn't say a word. He didn't say no, yes or okay. Nothing. He was quiet while seating by the table playing solitaire.

In my thoughts, it's economically cheaper to buy a peach pie or any kind of pie at the supermarket than create a pie from scratch.

I went to my bedroom, watched a boring show until I fall asleep. When I woke up at a time when I was about to prepare and cook something for dinner, I noticed the Thrifty Foods paper bag on top of the table and it was torn apart and inside the bag was the receipt.

Cheesecake $23.96 (4 pcs.) and

Bar cake vanilla/raspberry flavor $15.99

 + 5% GST 1.20

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This federal tax of 5% is added to almost every transaction for consumer goods and services. Groceries are the major exception (but note that non-food items bought in a grocery store are subject to GST, and that "junk food" such as pop, chips, and baked treats purchased in quantities less than 6 is also taxed).

                 Total: $41.15

What?  O-M-G!

At least my daughter will eat a cake with icing on it.
