One day I grabbed some 99-cent Oscar Meyer sliced chicken breast, though, and served it with Ingleh offer horseradish mustard and some pumpernickel for a tasty $2.97 light meal, with leftovers. If I could make three sandwiches for what it usually costs me to buy half of one at a deli, then my investment was paying off at a rate of 600 percent. Sandwiches: the next stock market bubble.
