I shared a link to a Walmart frozen pizza above of a frozen WalMart pizza that costs $2.70 and is 1800 calories; that's easily enough for two adults and a kid, and with a very small side is enough for 2 adults and 2 kids. Two bargain bucket steaks won't feed four people, requires some basic cooking skills, and costs more. Just because prepared food was cheaper when you were a kid doesn't mean things haven't changed since.

3 ounces of steak -- just enough.

A pound and a half of pizza, not even close?

Later on in this thread I pointed out a .58 lb steak in the freezer I bought for $2.90. I can PM you a photo if you need proof.

But that's still more expensive than the pizza, and doesn't feed as many people!
