Paying for what you get

Almost every morning (That I don't have work) I get the same breakfast from my two regular corner stores: Tony's Farm (a ridiculous name for the deli/convenience store down the block) and Oren's coffee. This is what I order, to the "T"

Tony's Farm: 2 Egg whites, 1 slice of turkey, 1 slice of swiss cheese, salt, pepper, and ketchup on a whole wheat wrap ($4.90). What makes me angry is that for $2.50 you can get sausage, egg and cheese on a roll! One time I asked why mine was so much more expensive... they told me extra for egg whites, extra for the wrap, and extra because I'm having deli meat + eggs. What?!?! It pays to be healthy :( And let me tell you, my measly little wrap comes out to be about half the size and "meat" of the whopping greasy sausage egg and cheese my boyfriend orders every Sunday morning.

Oren's: Small iced coffee with one pump of vanilla and slash of milk ($3.10). $55 cents extra for the one pump of vanilla! It kills me because they'll gladly pump 5-10 in there if I don't ask, but I still have to pay the same for the one little splash :( Good ol' Tony's Farm will give me an iced coffee double the size for $1.50, but it taste like burnt beans and I just love me some Oren's.
