IOW, you're paying for every 5th person's groceries. Aside from Moo, who the heck can afford $1300/mo.?

$1300 isn’t that just one of Mooch’s lunches?

$1300/mo = $43.33 per day. That's $14.44 per meal. You'd have to eat a delivered Pizza Hut large pizza, three times per day, to keep up with that.

Anyone who went to college back in the day without mommy and daddy's money got by just fine on ramen noodles, generic sodas, and turkey franks on cheap white bread, averaging about 60-70 cents per meal even at today's prices. A box of Kraft mac n cheese is still about a dollar, and feeds 2-3 kids. That's 33 cents per meal. Bananas are still about 40 cents per pound. PBnJ sandwiches are still about 30-40 cents each, especially if you buy the larger jars. If you're budget conscious, you can feed a family of 4 easily for $600/mo... and usually, budget-conscious eating is healthier than the common American diet of fast food and pizza and chips.

Except for the cost of gasoline, it is now cheaper to eat out EVERY meal. The cost of groceries is prohibitively high - 1200/month is 40/day. When you factor in prep time and clean up it is a better bargain to go out. Clearly restaurants get cut rates on food.
