fancy bread, fancy protein on top. there's a post below that says toast with butter at denny's is $2.20. this is $1.55 more, and it comes with protein on top. if it was a pb & j sandwich, would $4 be too much?

i see similar prices in seattle, portland, vancouver, eugene, etc. the west coast is EXPENSIVE, son.

tell me, how much should toast with almond butter cost? $3? $2? $1? what if it was $3.95? would that make it seem affordable?
