Dollars to doughnuts

[Cirque du So-What]

Is this phrase now hopelessly outdated, considering that the cost of a doughnut now meets or exceeds a dollar practically everywhere? I cannot rest until this question has been addressed to my satisfaction.

and win.

5. I like krugerrands to kroner.

One krugerrand is worth about $1,700, while one krone is worth 12 cents.

7. Good one

I'll have to remember that for the next time an opportunity arises.

8. I only buy those

day old ones for half price.

10. There's a grocery chain in my area

that drops the price to $0.49 after 4 PM. They sell out quickly once available at the sale price.

9. How about Dollars to Doughnut (singular)

There that should do it. 🙂

But yeah I sure get your point. How crazy not to pass $15 minimum wage. Anyone in that earning category would surely spend every dime on essentials / near essentials and boost the economy unlike the trickle down garbage.
