eCreamery, developed in 2002 in Omaha, Nebraska, is taking the world by storm with their deliverable ice cream sensations. The concept is easy. Starting from scratch and using all-natural ingredients, eCreamery customizes your ice cream or gelato order exactly to your liking….But this deliciousness (and adorable packaging) does come with a pretty hefty price tag. A mere half gallon (shipped in four pint sized containers) wil run you $49.99 plus the cost of shipping (anywhere form $20 - $60, depending on how much you are purchasing and how fast you need it). A full gallon wil set you back $89.99, plus the cost of shipping.

Just yesterday, for my brother‘s birthday I stopped by Cold Stone Creamery, a place I usually avoid for about 10,000 reasons per tablespoon. I picked up a quart of hand mixed peanut butter and chocolate chunk perfection, or some such nonsense. It ran me $8 and change, but my brother is a sickeningly trim and fit sugar addict (though to be fair judicially he administers his fix).

The article above, IMHOToday, is similar to buying wigs for dogs that are not bald (see “How Many dollars Per Flea is That?”). People, can we get a sense of perspective here? Oh how Rome is falling!!

• $50 dollars will buy 10 pints of Ben & Jerry’s at a convenience store
• $50 dollars will buy over 25 lbs. of boneless, skinless, chicken breast @ Price Rite Grocery store
• $50 dollars will buy you a great dinner at Lena’s Restaurant in South Windsor!
• $50 dollars will buy you FC5 Invigorating Body Cleanser , FC5 Skin Conditioning Oil & FC5 Ultra-Hydrating Hand Crème from Arbonne
• $50 dollars will buy you a round trip from Hartford to New Haven, CT with $8 left over for a great slice of pizza and a drink.
• $50 dollars will buy you a guy’s haircut in Brooklyn, NY by a guy named Soulja Kenny
• $50 can set up a community health volunteer with equipment and a bicycle to travel to several villages giving prenatal care to women who cannot travel to get any medical attention.

The big point here is perspective people.

We can splurge but let’s keep it in the sane.
