A floor on rice and beans should be drawn by online retailers (Amazon) which have the same price nation wide for bulk goods like rice and beans. Amazon currently retails bulk rice for ~0.06$ an ounce and pinto beans for ~0.07$ an ounce. 4 ounces of each is enough to get to an ~800kcal meal for ~0.50$

As someone living on a tight food budget, it's still possible to stretch 3$ WAYYYY further. Prices are bad, don't get me wrong but this kinda seems like performative bs
