Compared to the price of delivery or adoption, yeah

Speaking of which, I just can't let this opportunity pass to share this picture I took at a local Wal-Mart. I don't know if this was someone's idea of a joke or just inattention. I'd prefer to think it was the former, but I fear it may have been the latter...

If they had gone to Sam's instead, you know they could have gotten quintuplets for a good bulk price.

I don't have a lot of Sam's experience, but have been a handful of times. Based on my observations, it would seem that if the child sold for $25 at Wal-Mart, you could get the five for $125 at Sam's, provided you have paid your annual $65 membership fee.

This Sam's discussion is making me wish I had a five gallon bucket of mayonnaise.

I am kinda confused by the charges. If a couple is willing to sell their baby for $25, it seems as if the kid would be much better off with just about any other couple.

The other day, I would've sold my 6 (soon to be 7) year old for $0.50 OBO.
