No, i'm saying I can feed my family for less than $11-12 dollars a dinner.

Family value pack of chicken breasts I can get for about $7 (enough for two meals). If I get the skinless boneless thighs it's about $5 (and enough for two meals). Two heads of Romaine for about $2 (two dinners). Two large tomatoes another $2-$3. One cucumber $98 (two meals). A bag of potatoes for $1.98 (lasts many, many meals).

So that adds up to for each meal

$2.50 - $3.50 for the chicken
.50 for the potatoes
$1 - lettuce
$1.50 tomatoes
.50 cucumber

That's a nutritous meal every night for between $6 and $7. A savings of $4 to $5 for every dinner. $28 - $30 a week, $112 to $120 a month, etc., etc.

From that clip they were eating that shit for lunch too. Lunch is a much cheaper meal than dinner. - Redmond Jun 7, 14:01 3
- Yeah, can you imagine that? If they're eating fast food 3 meals a day that's at least $30 a day. - Stephen Jun 7, 14:21 2
  - The more people you have to cook for the lower you can get the price per person per meal. - Redmond Jun 7, 14:28
