:) I can go out and grab some FRESH eggs from the chicken shed, from free range chickens
The difference in quality and taste is like night and day compared to store bought eggs... I never would have thought it would be so pronounced.

And, in a few months, once the piggy gets a little bigger, I'll have lots of bacon :)

Cost of identical breakfast for me: about 10 cents.

you're sh!tting me? where do you live? i'm gonna presume InTheMiddleofNowhere, Alabama?;)

Nope, I live in western NY... 90 minutes from Rochester or Buffalo.

He must have known somebody to get a 1bdrm for so little. You might find it odd, but I'm sure he is ecstatic.

im sorry but any place where you can even order a vitamin water is going to bend you over.. where im from vitamin water is called tap water, and you dont pay for it.

Eggs don't take long to cook, you can even microwave them. Just make it yourself, only takes a few minutes, and you get a lot more for your money.
