Rice is 43 cents a pound and beans are 34 cents a pound at Walmart right now. For under $15,000 I can feed myself for the next 40 years. Toss in some Spam, canned beef, and wheat and you cost per day goes up a bit, but you end up with something much more enjoyable. Fill in some fruits, veggies, and nuts as available from your garden and you're even better off.
