Sometimes You Just Gotta Budget Right

"However, as a gnome is much smaller than a human or a dwarf, the money will stretch further. For example, a dollar might buy a loaf of bread. To a human or dwarf, that is two or three meals. To a gnome, the same loaf of bread is food for a week and can also be hollowed out to provide emergency accommodation." Wikipedia, Gnome (Discworld) Whatever the heck that means.

Well, I'm looking for garden gnomes at bargain basement prices for my parents 40th Anniversary Garden-themed party. And in one of my crazy gnome combo google searches, I found that. I've found lots of interesting things about gnomes and the people who love them, but I was particularly impressed with the loaf of bread habitat theory.

It makes me feel wasteful that I just EAT the loaf of bread. I didn't know one was supposed to multi task.
