I don't know about relative costs, but I don't think anyone's mentioned flywheels yet.

Friday Happy Hour: Hot Toddy for one, Hot Cider Punch for thirty {Slashfood}
Jan 26th 2007 9:02PM re: cider
I assume they mean regular, not hard (alcoholic) cider, because simmering that long would probably evaporate the alcohol. Apple is most common, but if you found pear (or peach?), that would be delicious, too.
To the cider punch, I would add rum (after the simmering) and melt a bit of butter on top for "hot buttered rum." That really warms you up!

Too much pie and booze this holiday season? Eat cauliflower! {Slashfood}

Cauliflower is to the menu like neutral colors are in your wardrobe: they can be paired with anything, and the outfit (dish) will take on the color (flavor) of what it is paired with. Try it with Indian curry; simmered in a vinagrette with salt, pepper and grated ginger; or in a cheesy casserole a' la Mac and Cheese.
For carb-cutters, Cauliflower would make a better substitute for rice than potatoes, I'd think...
