You can buy a lot fresh food with $50 USD, groceries are still very affordable in TX with only eggs costing more because of bird flu. Meat, Chicken and Pork are available and even with inflation are still close to pre pandemic prices, although you have to look for specials. I buy lamb chops from NZ at Costco for $5.99 a pound and they are absolutely delicious, Aldi sells 1 pound of ground Lamb for $4.99 from NZ. Steak is around $4.99 lb for NY or T-Bone on sale every week and dairy is not expensive either. Consider myself incredibly lucky to have excellent food that is incredibly affordable.

I eat a lot of staples like rice, pasta, veggies, ground beef, eggs, and my food bill is just a fraction of what it would be if I ate out every night (even at McDonald’s). I’m not saying those who are really financially strapped aren’t hurting but for food-at-home prices vs restaurant prices, you can easily pay 1/4 as long as you’re just eating staples.
