Pet food costs more than people food. Here it costs 80 cents or more for a can of Friskies. You can get a can of hash over twice the size for just a bit more. Dry beans are less than $2 a pound, and you can get a lot of meals out of one bag. I know, because we eat a lot of blackeyed peas and dried limas (butterbeans), as we really love them. Aldi's and Walmart both have some good prices on ordinary canned food and dry beans.
My wife and I are seniors, but we're stocked up and could stop buying for two years or more. We also know how to garden, and could do that if we have to.

I buy albacore tuna at Aldis its nice, and my wife likes their sardines. In her country rice is 50 cents a pound and they eat it 3 times a day.
