The Trump administration faces backlash over rising grocery prices, with Agriculture Secretary Rollins going viral over a meal that she said could cost $3.
As someone living on a tight food budget, it’s still possible to stretch 3$ WAYYYY further. Prices are bad, don’t get me wrong but this kinda seems like performative bs
It’s starting to get really area dependent. At this point even rice from the Asian market and beans is pretty firmly out side of the 3 buck range for a proper portion for each meal in my area unless your actively starving yourself.
A floor on rice and beans should be drawn by online retailers (Amazon) which have the same price nation wide for bulk goods like rice and beans. Amazon currently retails bulk rice for ~0.06$ an ounce and pinto beans for ~0.07$ an ounce. 4 ounces of each is enough to get to an ~800kcal meal for ~0.50$
