Maine-Walmart, 5/28/23: Bread 1.32, Pasta .98, Beans .78, Sauce .44 {8 oz}, 2 Bananas .54, Chocolate bar 1.00=$5.06. I don't know the comparison between the pound & dollar but I doubt it is that much. Being in Maine, food doesn't have tax but still a sizeable difference. This was fun!

That's it, I'm moving to the UK. The cheapest spaghetti noodles here is Walmart, and they are 92 cents. I am in awe at just how much Jay and Sammie were able to buy with ONLY 2 pounds. Un-frikken believable. Cheapest tomato sauce for 15oz is .88cents, tin of beans, 1.88, 1.10 for a loaf of bread, 0.27cents for a banana. That's 5.32 without 6% tax...and that is the cheapest it will get.

You and Sammie teaming up was brilliant! That was a very nice day's worth of food. And Luke and Ash provided the comic relief😂 It made me curious so I looked at Walmart's website and if you bought store brand items the same food Jay and Sammie bought it would be close to $6 US (with tax). So a little under 5 pounds.

As an Australian, you literally can’t get anything under $1 anymore. For reference, I believe one pound is the equivalent of one dollar and ninety four cents in Australia. So you could maybe get a can of tomatoes or something and that’s about it.
