Talking about buying things being cheaper.

I have been thinking about going into the cookie making business, but when I sat down and actually worked out how much each cookie costs me to make, I started to realise that it would actually be cheaper to just buy cookies instead of making them.

The choc chip ones I make are pretty special and they have lots of choc chips and nuts etc, but still, at over $1/pc, that's going to make it hard to get buyers if I want to add a profit margin in there somewhere.

I'm still thinking on it. Sourcing bulk ingredients to cut costs etc, but the idea has hit a stumble right from the start.
