    8 bananas cost about the same as a whopper jr.

    And slightly more than a candy bar. They are $0.52 per pound here (about 6-8 bananas is $1.02... a candy bar is about $0.80... but the bananas go a lot farther)

    Now if anyone wants to cry about the price of meat, I'll lament with you.

    Ugh, meat IS expensive! Plus we have 6 in our family. Out of the $32 bill from the grocery yesterday $12 of it was for meat. Oh, and I got 4 bags of groceries.

    Oh, I've practically given up on meat. Unless it is on sale, I dont' buy it.

    Doritos are $3.50 a pound...apples are 1/3 that.

    Pound for pound, most healthy fresh foods are cheaper than junk foods.

    If you mean how can you beat a $3 frozen pizza...try piece of tilapia with a side of grilled green beans and a half a sweet potato for the same cost.

    And if you are trying to beat a bag of ramen noodles...brown rice with lime juice is better for you, lower calories and costs about the same by weight/filling effect.

    Of course the healthy alternatives are just not as easy as the junk.
