That doesn't look like much food. I'm sure that when you combine a bunch of ingredients to make a dish, it actually comes out to several meals due to leftovers. I think our biggest problem is eating too much these days.
I wonder what the cost of these items would be today. Not the adjusted to today's dollars amount, the actual "go to a grocery store and by the same amount and same items cost".
This is from a reddit post from 2 years ago
"$176 worth of groceries at the cheapest grocery store in the area. from r/Seattle"
