Pumpkin Pie: Diminishing Marginal Digestibility

Costco bakes a decent pumpkin pie--you can't beat the $7.99 price--and your humble blogger picked one up last week for Thanksgiving dinner.

On the day after Thanksgiving, aka Black Friday, there were dozens of Costco pumpkin pies available for $3.97.

Normally, I would have considered taking a few to the local food banks, but none of them are accepting donations in kind due to the coronavirus.

I was tempted by the 50% markdown to get another one for our table, but who was I kidding? We still hadn't consumed most of last night's pie.

Still feeling the after-effects of Thanksgiving dinner, I passed; $3.97 was too high a price for a second unit. The economics term is something like "diminishing marginal digestibility", but if it's not, it oughtta be.
