Honestly I am always surprised how cheap food can be by mass producing it. How can pork chops cost 0.99/lbs or a whole chicken roasted but $5? I know these are sale items but I can feed myself so inexpensively and in general most of the food is pretty healthy (vegetables, some fruits, etc). These supply chains maybe squeezing profit but the likelihood a small business could even come close to the prices they have is small.
