Making eating less expensive, more lazy

Lunds calls them “conventional bananas.”  This is of course the opposite of “organic bananas.”  Get it?  They currently sell for $0.75/pound, or $0.30 for just the peel without the actual banana part.  Look, I’m trying to save some money on groceries.  And yes, a good first step would be to stop shopping at Lunds.  Okay so the average American spends something like $61 per week on groceries.  I currently spend about $32.  I still feel like that’s too much.  So, the way I see it I have too options – don’t eat so much, or eat cheaper food.  According to the USDA, the average American eats exactly 4.7 pounds of food per day.  I’m a little smaller than the average American so I’ll just even that off to 4 pounds for myself.  So all I need are 28 pounds of bananas each week to survive.  That calculates out to $21.00 per week for food.  That’s a savings of $11.00!  That’s a 34% savings, all by eating the same thing every day in massive quantities!
