When it comes to food, it is upto the end user who makes it. There are families that live the entire month with the same $35. Between different countries this changes and restaurants offering such low price meals is really impressive and when the competence is high, to stay on the top it is a must to compromise on the price. Over time the price will be increased, which is the base of business. Lets see whether the price is being increased over time.
yeah even here in the states careful shopping you can get a lot of food cheaply.
A local supermarket had a deal for chicken soup.
cleaned checked breast no bones or skin. 4 pounds
2 lbs carrots
1 quart broth
2 pounds celery
1 pound of noodles
add a quart of water.
and a 20 oz bag of broccoli
cost is $12 for 4 pound of chicken breast.
the bag of broccoli is 1 dollar
all the rest was free as a promo
total is $13 dollars and add the time and gas to cook it is 3 hours and about 50 cents in gas.
grand total of $13.50
this is a very large pot of chicken soup.
very little carbs lots of protein good quality food.
About 10 plates of soup or ten meals.
So $1.35 a high quality food /meal home cooked.
I was able to buy this deal 4 times and my wife and I ate 40 dishes of it. I played around and added more veg and some cheese so grand total may have been 4 x 13.50 = 54+6 or 60 bucks
say $1.50 a meal.
This type of deal is not constant I may get it one month a year.
Maybe a few other deals and I can be low cost and diabetic friendly which is hard to do for me.
