This whining about the price of food is getting ridiculous. Persons using a bit of shopping and cooking can eat for almost free.
I just bought a large Perdue roasting chicken for $0.99 per pound - not on sale! The chicken is huge ... 7.825 lb for a total price of $7.75. And Mrs. B bought a large amount of "not perfect" Italian peppers for $1.09 - there looks like 8-9 in this package. The roasted chicken with the sliced and roasted peppers and some boiled turnips will feed Mrs. B and me for at least four evening meals. I'm not sure what the turnips cost, but they are cheap. I'd guess our cost per meal is no more than $1.50 per person per meal, probably less.
Food is cheap if one thinks and works slicing & cooking a bit.
