She discloses that it varies by area. Arkansas is not HCOLA, but food prices have gone up outrageously. It's a good menu for fixing cheap, but healthy foods. I can't even come close 1 year ago to 29 cent/lb chicken! Now, no way.
But I think she does a pretty good job of listing menus and items to buy. Do you have a costco? Pay the $50/year and become a member.
Once a year it's Buy One Get One free whole chickens, load up. It works out to 45cent/lb. I never get chicken for less anywhere. Also boneless, skinless breast @ costco is always $2/lb, but whole chicken is .89/lb (used to be .69/lb.
Ground beef 12% used to be $1.79, it's now $1.99/lb. But if you buy frozen with coupon it can get close to $1. Same with cheese from costco.
These prices rarely vary by region, in anything Arkansas is likely cheaper than MA and CA.
