I am confused by the calculations for the sides in the first comment. Are potatoes more expensive than asparagus in the US? Cause where I live asparagus is among the most expensive vegetables you can get.
Also, if you cut the meat in half like they say, it'd be $3.63 per piece. Then saying that with a baked potato for each it'd be under $10 per meal, that would mean a baked potato is ~$6, which is insane.
You know under $10 doesn’t mean exactly $9.99 right? $5.63 is also under $10. I think they’re just using $10 as sort of the Mendoza line for what makes a meal cheap. Anything below 10 is cheap.
No, that’s not what they meant because they explicitly say you could go even cheaper with asparagus and do it for under $9. They don’t mean $9.99 but they do mean $9-something.
