Cheap veggies now about $1/lb and cheap meat about $2/lb. Eggs readily at $2/dozen and milk at $4/lb.
Food is a bargain!
If you have a decent job, sure.
Cheap meat means pork which was about $2.00 a pound for pork loin a couple months ago, now $4.00 a pound. Bacon up to $6.00 a pound.
I won't even go to the store anymore because when I see the price I just lay it back down. I was in the local Wal-Mart recently. A 1.5 pound bag of new potatoes $3.49 a bag. Cheapest potatoes are around 69¢. If you go with the Red or one of the Yellow varieties they can be near $2.00 a pound.
McDonalds on the other hand still offers a McChicken sandwich for a dollar and it is an adequate lunch. You may notice that their french fries costs more than a McDouble.
