    Meat substitutes-$5.99 for a pack of 6 Chik'n nuggets that will last me two meals seems like a lot to me

    And people wonder why there is an obesity problem here! It costs an arm and a leg to eat healthy! You can go to Mcdonald's and get a burger for a buck! It's so much cheaper to be fat! Uggghhh...

    Ugh, I know! My partner and I splurge way too much on groceries in order to eat healthily. If we lived off of packaged food and low-grade meat, our grocery bill would be literally half of what it is now :\

    Even what I consider "low grade" meat is expensive. Nothing like paying $5/lb for ground beef laden with fat (73% lean conventional beef).

    I don't get pissed off at prices. If it isn't in season then I buy is frozen.

    Yeah but that McD's 1 dollar burger is under 500 calories. So clearly the problem isnt that individual sandwich, is the whole day.

    Right now? All of them. Where I live, food prices are getting absurdly expensive. But at the moment I'd have to say asparagus is making me pretty pissed. $7.99/lb? It's a winter vegetable! And it's WINTER!

    7.99$???????
    I won't pay for it at 3.99$!$!$!.

    That sucks!
