Don't you realize that people don't buy spam to save money. They buy it because it is meat in a can and they are storing food just in case we get a worst case scenario economy. Everyone of you would be glad to eat spam if it was the only meat you could find. Your article is absurd. Don’t you realize that people don’t buy spam to save money.

The people I talk to are normally paying full price for name brand Mac and Cheese (1.39), and the chicken breast/broccoli sale prices are, in my area, about 1.59 a pound for chicken breast, and .59 a pound for broccoli. That's what makes it comparable. Anita: Yes, I see your point.
