Is getting 100 servings of food per dollar realistic?

If it is for a food bank then it needs to be non-perishable, ie can goods. I can't think of any canned good that is $0.01 that I would be willing to eat...maybe some melamine laced stuff from China might be marked down enough...

I would shoot for 5 servings per $1, ie. $0.20 a can.
