I can assure you, that is not remotely the case where I live. The absolute cheapest I can get chicken thighs (with bone and skin) is $3.60 per pound, and that's if I somehow have the freezer space to store a bunch of them. If I want to buy a manageable amount, I can expect to pay around $4.75 per pound.

As for what the other anon was saying about pasta and tomato sauce: The pasta is dirt cheap, of course, but the sauce is not nearly that cheap. You can buy a can of no name tomato sauce for $1.27, but it is basically ketchup. I know because I've eaten it. If you spend $2 you can get a can that's slightly better than ketchup and will probably be enough for 3-4 people. But if all you're having is 50 cents worth of pasta and 50 cents worth of tomato sauce, you've still spent about as much as the pre-packaged food would've cost you, and frankly, your meal took longer, tastes blander, and has even less nutrients than a lot of those canned meals have.

SA - Plus, if all you're having is pasta and canned tomato sauce, then you basically are eating a pre-packaged meal anyway. *shrugs*

Pasta anon - I wasn't arguing you'd get the most amazing meal out of it, just that by cooking myself I can feed 4-5 people for about the same price of a one of those single person premade meals (and I'd also argue healthier, since both the pasta and the sauce I can get for that price would be fairly decent quality. Though I could also buy fresh tomatoes and make sauce from scratch and make it even healthier and cheaper).

I get prices vary vastly by area, I was merely arguing that a $1.25 meal can definitely be more expensive than anything you can cook with raw ingredients in some places. In response to the "you're deluded if..." part above. If that was from a different person apologies.

Wow, where the heck do you live? $3.60/lb is around what it costs for the fancy organic, air-chilled chicken here. If you just buy the plain old store brand stuff it's a fraction of that.
