Food is not just high in LA, I live in SW Florida and my grocery bill for family of 3 is usually $200-$300 a week (and that is not counting cleaning stuff) don't buy steak, only buy meat that is on sale that week and several of our meals a week are chicken nuggets and mac & cheese. Food costs are outrageous in 3/4 of the country. Gas (if you don't have public transit) electricity and food are essentials so companies can naturally make a ton of money off these things we can't live without.
