Nope, my Spam is better... it's what I had for dinner last night, a
can of beans in chili sauce (store brand-79cts) with a can of diced
Spam, nuked... washed down with ruby port spritzer. And anyway I'm
not on any budget but sometimes I eat inexpensively, not planned that
way but turns out that way because it's what I want. I have a few
different jams but I don't even have peanut butter in the house but I
do buy in-shell roasted peanuts.
