$$$PIE$$$
07/07/08 09:13 PM

I stopped at the Marie Callender pie shop and looked at the selection of pies on their "permanent" list posted in large type up high near the ceiling.

They have a chocolate cheese cake pie that retails for $32.95 and is not particulary bigger than a lemon or pecan or...

Is it just me or is that getting a tad on the high side? $32.95 for a pie. I know the cost of fuel is going up and that impacts many other prices but the Olive Garden gave me all the soup, salad, and delicious soft breadstick refils I might want for lunch today for $6.40 which seemed OK.

Maybe some of you knowledgeable cooks out there can 'splain it to me. If you are familiar with the the pie in question, could I make it at home for significantly less or should I just "get over it?"

Maybe it is "future shock" and I should treat it like the movement for getting rid of pennies and nickles because they cost more than their face value to make.
