I bought ingredients for dinner tonight (chili con carne, rice, and salad) and a couple extra items for lunches (soup, fruit). Below is an itemized list of what I bought and the price. It seemed like a lot of moola. I should be used to prices by now in California, but sometimes I still gape at the total. What’s your estimate for the same shopping list where you live?<\/p>\n
2 28-ounce cans store brand diced tomatoes: $3.38
\n2 16-ounce cans store brand pinto beans: $1.54 (sale, reg. $2.38)
\n4 19-ounce cans of store brand soup: $6.00 (sale, reg. $9.56)
\n5 pound bag of store brand white rice: $3.66
\n2.6 pounds of 80% lean ground beef: $7.42 (sale, reg. $8.66)
