In my grocery store, the cheapest ground chuck is $4/lb. The kind we buy is $6/lb. A dollar in the (non-organic) produce section will get you one red onion, or 2 cucumbers, or 1 1/3 bell peppers. Pasta's about the same around here as what you were saying, though. Maybe it's just because you live closer to viable farmland than we do.
