What's the basis of comparison? A 3 oz steak with ~250 calories is going to cost about the same as 1500 calories of chips. The nutrition in the steak is better

The nutrition in the steak is better, but I don't see any other basis of comparison where it could be cheap. The right candy bar (high in peanuts) will have lots more calories and something like 50% of the protein, for half the total price of the steak.
The other reply already pointed out how cheap wheat calories can be.
- WalterBright 5y agoI have a steak in the freezer right now that is 0.58 lb and cost $2.90. Don't believe me? PM me your email and I'll send you a photo. And a dozen eggs for $1.99. The store also sells bulk peanuts for far far less than peanut candy bars cost. Like $2.99 per pound. You pour it in a bag, weigh the bag, put the label on it, and voila! And it's good for you, too, unlike the sugar-ladened candy. No prep required.
- maxerickson 5y agoThe big box stores here frequently have eggs for $1. On a recent visit (to buy cheap frozen chicken) the register printed me a coupon for a free carton of eggs. They use the cheap eggs to get people in the door.
