Re: Cheap food: can you beat this price in your country?

Just found a restaurant where the individual meal costs only 0,57$! Meal composed by rice, toasted cassava flour and black bean stew with few pieces of pork meats. Feeds one person decently and the taste is good. You can eat the whole month for less than 35$, considering lunch and dinner daily! That is perfect for cutting expenses with food!

Do you know any restaurants which serve cheaper meals than that where you live? It must be a meal, not snacks.

This price looks very cheap, but we must consider the nutritional value of the given food. Usually, the most expensive component of any meal is the meat. At the same time, it's the most needed component for a body to maintain its form and perform well, so if the amount of meat added to this meal isn't enough, we shouldn't consider it a perfect meal. In my country, all kinds of meat are very expensive, so I can't imagine finding a perfect meal with a price that is as similar as your meal. In this case, the cheapest nourishing meal here costs no less than $2, so with 3 meals a day, a person needs $180 monthly to pay for their food.
