While it sounds like quite a lot, one serve of ginger works out at less than 10 cents at that price. 

The average recommend serving size of ginger is 2 grams, and at 4.5 cents a gram, it works out at 9 cents a serve. 

Sam might not need to count her pennies soon, as it’s believed she has quietly returned to Channel Seven after her high profile departure from the network earlier this year.
