in Food and Nutrition
Yogurtland and those kind of places charge ~$.30 per ounce. Each ounces has ~ 30 calories = so ~ 1 calorie for every penny spent.

So $1.50 of yogurt = ~ 150 calories, etc.

All bets are off if you load up on toppings (candy & cookies, etc.).

    Aw man. Now going back to how much I spend on Froyo, maybe I need to cut back :)

    Made a trip to Yogurtland this afternoon. Ours are now up to $.33, but the math still works well enough.
