Cans of Chef Boyardee are around $1/each.
In all seriousness, it sucks that only the CA makes a livable wage and everyone else has to either live off Chef Boyardee or Ramen Noodles. There's no reason an FO has to deliver pizza or work at WalMart, Lowe's, Home Depot or bag groceries on their days off.
This has been going on for years. Look at Republic, they can't get enough people to keep pace with their attrition.
