Oops that comes to $10.40. Well, realistically I always have on hand the soy sauce have on hand, I didn't include a bottle of oil either, which I also always have on hand. If I have to add it in, let's say I get Save-a-lot's least expensive, I suppose about $.90. That would put me $1.30 over budget. Could I barter some tomatoes or flowers for some oil?
