* It's a car wash every month.
* It's two mid-range store-bought frozen pizzas every month
* It's one Febreeze plug-in air freshener complete with 2 oil refills every month
* You would be out just over 300 matches per month if you instead put that money towards Kagi.
* And in homage to A Tiny Armageddon it is about 500 plastic spoons per month.
2 bunches of bananas cost 3,10 EUR [1]
2 bunches of organic, fairtrade bananas cost 4,38 EUR [2]
Since AFAIK there is one genus I just buy the regular ones. Since we eat one bunch of bananas a week, it is about 6,4 weeks of bananas.
My bananas come from South-America. They have to travel further than the ones going to North-America. So they should be cheaper at your place (US?).
Then again, you pay nothing for gas, so it evens out :P

That's correct, but neither 'organic' nor 'fairtrade' means that it would be a different (better) variety. Organic = not sprayed with chemicals for pest control for example; fairtrade = farm hands not paid exploitative rates (paid more).
(Not that I'm preaching you should care about either more, I'm a fairly price-driven shopper.)
I'm not sure that actually works in practice though, because ceteris never is paribus, it commands a premium, it's a somehow more discerning shopper perhaps/on average, so it's more worth choosing a nice tasting/attractive variety vs. the regular one selected for yield.
That's much more coffee that Kagi costs than if I was getting it at Starbucks, but it still puts it in perspective I think. (And the coffee tastes much better.)
