> one can like 800 calories for five dollars. > 3lbs ground beef  say $7 a pound $21 > chicken stock $2 liquid, cheaper if cubed bullion   > beans 5 cans call it $15. > onions (a couple),  $3 crushed tomato sauce large can $4 seasonings (packets or dried, salt, cumin, chili powder) $4 > total? $49 for a full crackpot of chili home made and healthier than that shit in a can at the very least. i am probably way overestimating the cost but it's literally 60 cents per unit cheaper to make the shit than to buy that. and in realty my costs are probably over estimated by 30-40%. people are dumb.
