$1 for 8g of protein?

Tuna/sardines are a bargain by that measure.

Eggs only have 4 grams of protein each? It is probably 5.5 to 6 grams per egg. Few Americans that I know can stomach eating sardines at the same rate as eggs.
Okay, then $1 for 12g. Same point.
Are you seeing how much a can of sardines go for these days? Somehow they’ve been priced as a delicacy. Even spam isn’t cheap anymore.
$1 per 3.75 oz can, with free shipping. [1]

So $4.27 per lb.

Canned chicken can be cheaper.
