Default Microwave baked potato?

All the shills say that.

At $38 plus shipping for 10 pounds, they are for people with more money than
brains. 29¢ a pound versus $4.70 a pound with shipping.

I can have them washed and in the oven or MW by the time you dig the frozen
crap out of the freezer. And I'll be a few bucks ahead. 29¢ a pound versus
$4.70 a pound with shipping. If you wash a 10 pound bag of potatoes in 5
minutes, you are saving $44 in minutes or equal to $220 an hour. I have to
work over a half a day to earn that so I'm not going to give it up for
pre-washed spuds.
