<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cladking, post: 30813, member: 68&quot;]These sound like restaurant prices.&nbsp; I was just talking about the minimum amount of food required to keep an individual alive.&nbsp; I believe that dried beans and flour could be bought for about one cent per pound.&nbsp; Perhaps a half cent is too little to have kept someone alive and it certainly wouldn&#039;t have provided a healthy diet, but there were substantial items which could be purchased for this amount of money even if they were sold in 1c increments.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Today one cent&#039;s worth of Ramen noodles is a large bite.&nbsp; Pears cost thirty or forty cents apiece.&nbsp; At $10 / Lb one cent worth of steak constitutes about a good smell.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
