So you just eat stew constantly all the time and that means junkfood isn't cheaper? I have to imagine it only lasts 2-3 days because you're just having a bowl each or something. If you and her ate just that, you'd still be spending $120/month on just stew and probably undereating by a good amount, and also regretting full commitment to stew. You may still be right but it's a narrow example that sort of entirely depends on the season and region. What's cheaper? Canned stew. 3 days on canned stew and in the U.S it's probably less and way faster. Add in $3 worth of fried chicken from Walmart and that's a day's worth of food, and a fuck ton of salt. I don't think it's really an argument that holds up, but I would agree that it's a way better use of money to get good stuff if you can afford it and spend the time making it. I'm not where you are but a small bag (5lb) of potatoes at Safeway costs $6, add in something like 5 apples and you're already at $15. Bag of frozen fruit, another $6. It adds up quickly and goes away even quicker.
