I think it is good and accurate and worthwhile to point out that good shopping habits can make food MUCH cheaper.
For example I bought a pork shoulder a couple of weeks ago, like $30, ouch. BUT I roasted it on the first night and carved up some generous portions for me and missus and we had it with mashed potatoes and salad. Then the second night we shredded the rest and made pulled pork and had pulled pork sandwiches for two nights. Then we took the bones with and remaining meat and gristle and roasted it and made a pot of beans, and had ham beans and cornbread for a few nights.
You think of it that way, and the investment of the pork shoulder for a week’s worth of meals was actually pretty darn cheap.
HOWEVER, it is also true that food prices have gone way up and that sucks and is hard, and smart shopping helps, but does not negate that fact.

That's a good dollar.

Few things make you feel as good as a little meat and veggies with rice. I am a bit prone to enjoy mine with a bit of sweet soy sauce though.
