In the USA real food is extremely inexpensive. That 1 Euro will buy you 2-3 dozen eggs or at least half a kilo of beef or chicken. Potatoes are 1.50 USD for a 5 lb bag (2.26kg).
Processed food in the USA is very expensive. Frozen pizza, chips, cookies, frozen dinners, cereals, etc can cost more than Grass Fed Organic beef per lb. We have a Grocer called Sprouts that has Grass Fed Ground Beef for $2.99lb USD. A frozen pizza at Walmart is 4.99 USD. A bag of Potato Chips is $2.99 at Walmart.
If you get a chance check out any USA Grocery flier and you will be shocked at how little real food costs.
- JeanMarcS 7y agoWe could argue on the health level of what you call real food (pesticides, antibiotic and stuff) But as a european (french) guy I must say that I was very surprised, when visiting 2 weeks in Brooklyn, to find that grocery was not as expensive as I was expecting. At all. You are totally right. We could eat real meals every night after a tourist day, for around same prices than in France.
