It costs about $30 for my small family of 3 to eat Panda Express. That's not poverty $$.

I remember being poor in LA in the 90’s, when the nearest Panda Express was located just up Santa Monica Blvd. inside a Pavillions grocery store.

I’d usually “treat myself” on Friday’s by stopping at Panda and getting a 2 item meal, which at the time, was $4.49.

These days, it’s exactly as you stated: A typical stop at Panda for a family of four is easily $35 dollars, if not $40.

I don’t consider that “Poverty Food”.

Funny they used to be inside Kroger, here - then they 'now' are mostly free-standing. There's one (ironically) neighboring a GNC Health store - only those two places and a Chase bank in the same strip mall.
