I calculated the price of the lobster dinner from r/GifRecipes

Here's the post in question http://ift.tt/2jWDAkE

Bread: $4.15 1 stick butter, softened (4 sticks) $0.59 4 cloves garlic, minced (1 head about 8 cloves) $1.59 ⅓ cup Parmesan cheese (grated cheap stuff about 1 cup) $3.99 ⅓ cup Monterey Jack cheese, shredded (2 cups) $3.39 ⅓ cup cheddar cheese, shredded (2 cups) $0.79 ⅓ cup green onions, sliced (1 bunch, buy at an asian market) $1.29 1 8-inch baguette

$16.39

Lobster + broccoli: $20 2 8-ounce lobster tails (there are also 4.2 oz $9.99/each) (Previously purchased) 3 tablespoons butter, melted $0.47 1 teaspoon salt $1.49 1 teaspoon black pepper $1.49 1 teaspoon garlic powder $2.99 1 teaspoon paprika $1.29 fresh 1 teaspoon parsley, chopped ($1.97 for flakes) $0.79 1 teaspoon lemon juice (1/2 lemon) (Previously purchased)2 lemon wedges, to Serve $0.50 Cooked broccoli, to Serve (8 oz crown at 0.99/lb, must be on sale right now)

$29.02

Lava Cake $1.99 1 box brownie mix, prepared according to package instructions (pills bury chocolate fudge, 2 other options a this price range) $1.47 Cooking spray $3.99 ( Godiva, don't be cheap and get Russel stover)4 chocolate truffles Mixed berries, to Serve $2.99 Blueberries $3.99 raspberries $3.49 strawberries $3.49 - frozen mixed berries $2.19 Mint, to garnish $5.99Ice cream, to Serve (or be cheap and get the store brand about $2.67, though usually the $6 are BOGO $3.39 (melt your own)Chocolate sauce, to Serve (optional) $3.99 for that shell stuff.

$19.19 frozen berries and bad ice cream $29.49 w/ fresh berries and good ice cream.

Stuff you should have laying around= cooking spray, spices = 9.88 (using parsley flakes instead of fresh)

$64.60-$74.90 With previous stuff =$54.72-$66.31 Prices do not include taxes.

All prices were from my local Harris Teeter through their online ordering service I must admit though I would only purchase the cheese, bread, and lava cake things from there, all other items I would buy from H-Mart. They do not sell 8Oz lobster tails at harris teeter so had to go with 4Oz pricing. Yes I know you still have 2/3rds cup of cheeses, a bunch of berries, some chocolate, ect, but I personally have none of those things in my house right now so I didn't keep them as "already purchased".
