I just got back to New York (after a loooong absence) and I've been jonesing to get cooking. So I headed to the most likely source for some quality staples. The non-perishable items pictured here (each is price tagged) total $457.25. Presuming these baked goods sell for $2.50 each at the fancy food store from which they hail, those presented here total $100 (though likely many sell for well over that price point).
So that's $557.25 of goods wasted, then reclaimed in less than an hour. Full breakdown after the jump.
