Plz Help! Desperate for honest feedback.

affordable meals. I am on disability and have to support 2 people on what I

You can buy a whole chicken for under $4.00 in any spermarket. A family of
3 will get two good-sized meals from this, PLUS chicken soup with the
leftover carcass.

I find that I spend a lot less on food on my low-carb plan, because it's the
junk food and fast food that I cut out that was costing so much.

Eggs. Although egg prices have gone up, they are still a good value,
particularly in large quantities.

Cream cheese can be purchased for under $5 per 3 pound box at "Smart &
Final."

Ground beef can satiate hunger for many hours. Watch for sales.

Mayonnaise has lots of calories per dollar.

1lb of chicken costs me at least $5 even when on sale. And that's at the
cheapest store around ;-) Am I getting screwed?

It depends on how much money you have. You could construct a
reasonable diet with chicken, pork, some fish, cheap vegetable oil,
some vegetables (they go on sales too), etc.

I would guess that you can eat low carb for about $4 per day without
being too deprived. 2 lbs of chicken, a 1/3 lbs of fish and a pound of
vegetables would cost about $4. Obviously, you would have some
variations.

Supplement that with things like oat bran hot cereals for your carbs,
and suddenly you have a semi decent diet.

I doubt that you can be low carbing for, say, $1 per day.

Very likely - shop at a different store or live someplace where
that prices are lower :-). We frequently find chicken for less
than a $1 a pound and stock up.

Yes you are getting screwed.

You pay 4.99 a lb for chicken?

I just looked online at my local giant supermarkets:

Ralphs

Chicken thighs or drumsticks: 1.59 lb.
Chicken leg quarters: .89 lb

Vons

Foster Farms whole chickens: .99 lb

And if you go to a Costco or Sam's Club you can do even better.

Hehe, yah Austin can be a little pricey, but H-E-B is the cheapest I've
found out of H-E-B, Randalls, and Albertsons. I don't know of any other
place to go besides Fiesta and it's not that close and a little scary
sometimes :-)

Chicken goes on sale quite often around my area from .59 a pound to .79
a pound. I'm in CA.

We shop north Austin/Pfluggerville/Round Rock.
We find that the Albertsons has frequent sales on chicken...
Randalls does too, but usually on Friday only? Watch the
HEB stores, individual stores will have sales. Sometimes
the Walmart super stores can suprise you too. We often hit
Feista during the day when we are out.
