\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "8 meatloafs (meatloaves?) time 1 1/4 cups of breadcrumbs per meatloaf is 10 cups of bread crumbs. Per the label, a serving is 1/3 cup of bread crumbs and there are 14 servings in the canister, so 14/3 cups or 4 and 2/3 cups per canister. 4 2/3 + 4 2/3 is 9 1/3 cups in two canisters. You are a little short of the 10 cups you need so you need to buy a third canister.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "However, save yourself $2.19. Toast four slices of bread as dark as you can without burning them. Then scrape the surface of the pieces of toast until you get your extra 2/3 cup.\r
