a cheap night at home in 2008

five gallons of gas: $20
a pack of american spirits: $6
a six-pack of fat tire: $10
a gallon of milk: $5
twelve chocolate chip cookies: $5

knowing it's only going to get more expensive? priceless.

pps - what kind of cookies are you getting? that price seems absurdly high to me... i find it much more shocking than the others listed.
