<prompt> Human: This is a follow up from this thread that had hundreds of replies from people in Rural Wisconsin saying they pay 3 pennies and a piece of flint per pound of chicken breast. Please state the city you live in  <response>: My partner and I live in SoCal, where the cost of living is really high, and we average 80weekly shop for the two of us. Were vegetarians, so getting our protein from black beans, tofu, and lentils instead of chicken, fish, and beef helps a lot in terms of cost. We eat a lot of rice, oatmeal, and potatoes because theyre dirt cheap and decent nutrition. Frozen veggies are a staple as well. We dont drink any alcohol, and try to limit the processedprepared foods that we buy. So yeah, its definitely possible, but a lot of people probably wouldnt be OK grocery shopping the way we do.
