While the numbers may be off the gist of the video was clear.
I've got a can of Crisco I pull out on occasion for things like a pie pan. I used it Wednesday making some banana bread. It pretty well stops there. (Although, biscuits made with Crisco have their own unique taste. That, with buttermilk, definitely hits the old school Southern flavor niche.)
And if they cook 4lbs of chicken and 2lbs of rice for 4 people I can almost guarantee there will be leftovers. That's a lot of food.
The chicken; I need to look. $14 seems about two bucks high to me with Grok's deal. I know it was less than $3 a lb the last time; $2.89 is what's hitting me. I know the pack was a little over $14 but it was also close to 5 lbs.
Easiest way would be to use your monthly average grocery bill. I can assure you we don't spend anywhere near $1800 a month on food we cook at home and there's 5 of us. The 4lbs of chicken they used in the example meal would be enough for 2 or 3 meals using a 4 to 6 ounce serving size. When we were stationary I grew 2/3 of the vegetables we ate for probably 1/3 of what it would've cost me at a grocery store. It ain't hard to eat healthy for reasonably cheap.The chicken; I need to look. $14 seems about two bucks high to me with Grok's deal.

The Chef's egg price is .60 more. No clue on how much per slice of toast!!
I'm a little tempted to do this for one day in my life. But geez, that's complicated! Just one dish is WAY TOO much math.
Ha! I started thinking about it and quit when I got to the third constant; bread. Milk and eggs? Easy. Hell, I can think of three types I've bought this month alone. Capt. John Durst for BBQ, but I don't want that for a Cuban (used a fresh French loaf from a bakery.) Hawaiin for the smoked ham. I've got my mind on meatball subs right now...
We eat a lot of different stuff each month but I'd say we spend pretty close to the same amount each month. I don't track it anymore like I used to have to. Biggest variables would be the amount of beef and seafood we buy.
