I believe not always, but for sure, it does. I hope I'm wrong for the sake of all the poeple who can't afford anyting else.

I should have used "inexpensive" rather than "cheap," and didn't mean to imply that these foods are lacking in quality. The foods that we find at these ethnic markets are quite high in quality, sometimes even better than I find in mainstream markets. Best of all, many times these foods are local and organic. So, to answer your question (above), I absolutely believe that two people can eat nutritious, quality food on $12/day! :) My guess is that Asian and Latino markets are less expensive than mainstream markets is because they buy direct.

It is hard to eat nutritious, tasty, food for $12 a day. Something to think about: why is the food in ethnic markets so cheap? And, is it possible to eat nutritious food on $12 a day without the (unintended) consequences of cheap food? Food for thought. Good for you guys for trying this out!
