I don't know where they get the figure of $29 though; pretty sure I got more than that during my "OH SNAP" moment.

That is all? I thought that food is supposed to be cheap in US. Although vegetables are not usually that cheap and at least limes cost quite much in here. Beans, peas and rice, about 3 € per 0,5-1 kg bag. Let's make it 9 euros. Eggs another 3, it is now 12 euros. 17 euros left. Maybe she could have spent that portion more wisely.
There was article some time ago (about research in UK) that poor people have troubles to afford eat healtly, at least vegetable wise. If you buy much limes, chilis, etc. that is surely even harder. Similarly there was research about US hobos, and they are pretty much all fat. They eat chips, drink soda, etc. with much calories, but with little nuttrition value. Thus they are fat and poorly nuttritioned.
