of Hunts spaghetti sauce...you can't make it for less than that. Food costs are ridiculous. Freakin' green peppers are $2.49lb what the hell, green peppers use to be one of the cheapest things you could buy.

It's not just the cost, it's the time. Many people on food stamps work. So, now in addition to working, taking care of the house/kids, they're supposed to make all their food from scratch..

This is sickening.
