Exactly Terry, they try to tout it as cheaper than home cooking but
they jack the price way up and it's pretty pitiful at 8$ or more a
serving for a single meal. I can eat out for less than that at many
places.

If someone here can't make a healthy meal for 3$ per person, they
probably need to learn cooking/shopping skills. Fancy meals with steak
shouldn't run over 5$ each.
