This is an update of my previous post. I added several stuff recommended in the comments. I've also included a scatter plot of protein/100C vs protein/dollar.
I buy these from Ralphs and Target, in San Diego.
Here's the text version (formatted into markdown by chatgpt, so I dont trust it)

Unreal data collection, well done!
Amazing! Thank you 😱
So chicken breast wins. Cheapest/highest protein for calories. No surprise there. Most top right option. Though lots of close stuff.
Thanks for making this. Great data set.
The only takeaway here is that I need to buy pounds of Parmesan cheese
Amazing data! Well done
Hot
So awesome, nice job. I love the scatter plot– you can easily see the “pareto front” of best options.
Have you considered adding canned sardines to the list?
