I pay about 3.50 a lb for turkey at costco. Another 3 a lb for cheese and a 3 dollar loaf of bread from a local bakery will make me about 6-10 sandwiches. I also use slices of onions which I always have around to cook with dinner. Maybe some lettuce and mayo… still talking like 4 bucks a sando
The nearest Costco is 20 miles from me. Walmart would be the next cheapest thing. A lb of meat there is close to $7. Then there’s Shoprite which is usually around $8-$10 a lb. They’ve been sneaking up the last few times I’ve been there. Prices around me are cooked. With a family of 5, a lb of anything that isn’t frozen is gone in 3 days.
I’m in A Philly suburb. Philly itself is cheaper than a lot of big cities but it’s still a big city. My area is solidly middle class. Houses aren’t that bad where I live but they’re starting to average 500k for 2 stories which is insane to me. CORRECTION: My parents paid 85k for the first house we lived in back in the beginning of the 90s. They sold it for 183k. The second house we rented was $1700 a month but is up to $2600 a month. Single story 3 bed 1 bath ranchers are going for 350k which is also insane.
Oh and here’s a receipt from my shopping for today. Just the old cuts are marked.

yeesh, is the cost of living really high in general where you are? My wage is shit but at least I can (barely) afford groceries.
