$50 gets you two 16oz steaks (two adults can each eat too much steak for lunch AND dinner with that) and 15 or 20 _pounds_ of fresh vegetables at whole foods in the 94107 zip code according to Prime Now. And that's not even accounting for the umpty servings of dry goods like rice and legumes you get per dollar. What do you consider exorbitant? How much food can you eat in a day?

I’m not sure what you’re looking at... They’re selling USDA Choice strip steak for $18/lb.

2 pounds of steak before cooking isn’t lunch and dinner for two adults.

A single bell pepper is $1.50. They’re charging $0.69 for a single damn potato. Broccoli is over $3/lb.

These prices are insanely high. And I would assume some of the food you eat in a day is not going to be just bulk produce.

I'm looking at Amazon Prime Now delivery from Whole Foods in 94107.

potatoes, $0.79/lb (tired of making imgur links now)

eggplants, $1.69/lb

zucchini, $2/lb

roma tomatoes, $1.49/lb

long grain brown rice (rice freshly delivered from Whole Foods instead of from somewhere saner!), $1.20/lb

Of course if you only ever buy the most expensive items and don't fill out your meals, then yes it gets expensive. But not being price sensitive in any way when shopping is like the very definition of being upper class.

You know that a proper meal isn't _just_ steak, though, right? Brown rice, legumes, vegetables, 8oz meat, spices. 2 Steaks, 2 people, 2 meals.

Groceries from Amazon Prime/Whole Foods is like estimating commuting costs using Uber. I just can't believe people live like that, or not for long. Nobody has a steak for every meal, or even every day, either.

Also, has anybody questioned that charity amount? That's like 1%. Like, you're making $300K and you can't afford 10%?
