4 cents each?

It's a fair deal. Not a steal, definitely not a ripoff.

I can think of worse ways to spend 199.00 .

Just a worse way to spend 199.00.

Sorry, once again I've bogarted a thread...

Buy the Wheats! There is no downside, unless they've been run through a wood chipper.

The last time I was at the craps table at the riverboat, I thought I needed a language course from Rosetta Stone just to understand ANYTHING!

Buy 'em. I love wheats. As others said - its a fair deal. Not great, but not bad.

I guess if its all 40's and 50's there are some better deals than that, but for a fairly mixed bag not a bad price. I'm not sure if the member from the old forum is around but he was selling comons for 150.00 a bag I believe, best advertised price I have seen.

Surely the likelihood of them being unsearched and any good dates being in there is slim?
