Warren,
In your case you are probably correct but I don't eat 5 meals a day. I normally only eat one time and then snack if I get hungry. And what you can buy in the market there for $5 dollars is at least $10 here at our cheapest markets. And I eat what I want when I go out too. Besides if you ever tasted my attempts to cook, you would swear off home cooked food for good.
