    Impressive to see Eric making that while sticking so strictly to what he actually received! I would've expected him to allow staples like ketchup like others, but that was nice! And of course Gina is always an absolute delight any time we get to see her!

      ​@@ouzolovesIt's most likely your first option. Nobody uses a third of a jar of mayo on a few burgers. That means the chef is getting taken advantage of for shopping at a "better quality" store for the exact same products. Or maybe it's just that the show made a mistake.

      I think the idea with the prices is that it's for everything they bought, and probably ideally serves 3-4 people. See the amount of tomatoes Gina had, she had a whole package of cheese, and look at the amount of meat in Eric's recipe.
      So it's divided by 3 or 4/ serving.
