I have a steak in the freezer right now that is 0.58 lb and cost $2.90. Don't believe me? PM me your email and I'll send you a photo.

And a dozen eggs for $1.99.

The store also sells bulk peanuts for far far less than peanut candy bars cost. Like $2.99 per pound. You pour it in a bag, weigh the bag, put the label on it, and voila! And it's good for you, too, unlike the sugar-ladened candy. No prep required.

The big box stores here frequently have eggs for $1. On a recent visit (to buy cheap frozen chicken) the register printed me a coupon for a free carton of eggs. They use the cheap eggs to get people in the door.

So? They're still cheaper than chips and a lot better for you.
