Now I'm getting it all confused...
You spend $100 for butter? Your electricity costs $3.99 a month!?
For the record, our butter usually costs $3.49 or $3.99, but recently it's spiked as high as $7! (But not all over the Island, or even all over the city. Just near me.)
Also, Homefront is now letting me download it from the BBC again without worrying about being out of region (and, of course, not paying your TV/radio tax) so... yay!

edit to add: Just as I was pressing send I was suddenly hit by a flashback to my childhood when we used to go to Sweden to buy cheap butter :D

I've got a penis snack tray I got years ago. I got it to use at adult parties a friend threw that often had a potluck.
I was evil. I put sliced summer suasge in the penis part and a couple of cheese balls in the testicle part.
The women loved it. The guys (for *some* reason) were reluctant to go near it. :-)
Someone else had brought a couple of *huge* cheese balls sculpted to look like breasts. They were quickly moved next to my contribution.
Silly adults.
