It seemed cheaper to eat out than go to the store - even before this

[wilburbear]

Have you guys noticed that? Might as well eat at Subway, rather than go to the store.

At the store, items seem more expensive and you get mismatching sizes of, say, hamburger meat and buns that causes food to be thrown out.

Subway is quick, good, easy, and cheap. Grocery store is none of these 4.

I've noticed this too. Make a spaghetti/meatballs w sauce with bread etc, I end up spending $35 by the time I leave the store. Screw it, I can buy 2 spaghetti take out dinners for $25.

Exactly.

And, a Dominoes deep dish medium *delivered* feeds my family of 4 (barely, 1 teen, 1 pre-teen) for $21 delivered all-in w/tip!

Screw the grocery store.

$5 cheese or pepperoni pizza at little ceasars. That will last me for a full 24 hours of food.

disagree

i go to Whole Food a couple times a week... buy sandwich meat (turkey, roast beef, etc.), lettuce, bread etc. etc. - all organic and healthier.

I can make more sandwiches and meals then what you suggest.

absolutely more economical if you are not lazy. LOL

when it my turn to deal with dinner- once a week - 4 kids, two adults... I like to go the the market get an 8 an dollar rotisserie family sized chicken -and put it on a bed of pasta. (so to speak).

Depending on who good the jar of sauce is - it can be a great meal.
