    Vegetables are far cheaper than meat?

    Like a bag of rice and lentils/beans is next to nothing.

      i just saw at the shops, an 20kg bag of rice was $30. do you have any idea how long 20KG of rice would last? a long long long time. It’s simply not possible that buying FEWER ingredients (i.e. no meat) could be more expensive than buying more ingredients.
