[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I mean you could but you're making choices about what youi're buying. Starting with guac, I make it. Not where near WF pre-prepared prices. Also do you need two meats?  And what is "good salsa"? Again, I make pico and you can make hotter blender salsas (green, red, etc..).

Here's what I do:

Chicken: $10 for 1 lb organic tenders
Beans: $1 can
Rice: let's say $1 but likely pennies
Avocado: $4 for 2-3 depending on the week which is fine for a family of 4
Cilantro: $2
Onion: $1
Tomato: $2
Lettuce: $4
Jalapeno, bell peppers: $3
Lime: $2
Corn (frozen): $2
Sour cream: $4
Cheese: $4
Hot sauce: $4
Can of chipotle in adobo: $2
Spices and oils etc...: come on, you have these

This is $46 BUT except for the chicken and beans and avocados easily makes 2-3 meals or components (leftover veggies, rice, cheese, etc...). So really more like $20 a meal because I'm making salads, rice dishes, other things with the ingredients.

You will have ample leftovers.

10 bucks a pound for chicken is insane.[/quote]

Fair. I buy mostly organic chicken breasts, breast tenders, or the breast slices. I probably pay $10 for 1.3 pounds or organic chicken, which for my family is 1 meal + leftovers for another meal or for 1-2 people, depending on whether we're eating knife and fork chicken, pulled chicken sandwiches, or chicken in enchiladas or something. We do not eat much meat so this is basically my main meat expense.[/quote]
