Food Budget

could be. but that's exactly my point, it really depends on location. I forgot to add that we grow some of our own veggies in the summer. That helps too. Cheapest ground chuck here is just over $2/lb, I buy the stuff that's priced nearer $4/lb, but I wait until it's on sale at nearer $2-3 then buy tonnes and freeze it*. I buy onions in the pre-packed 3lb bags for less than $3. A bag will usually last me until the next time they go on sale at around $2 per bag

*(Well to be accurate, I buy tonnes and beest freezes it while rolling his eyes at me because it's gonna be a squeeze in the freezer.......)

It's simple market economics. You grow the beef in Texas and ship it to Michigan... that lowers the cost
