Most of those will last you weeks.
The meat and things like almonds are more expensive, granted. But you can get a package of pork tenderloin that will cover three meals for a family for $30.
Food is expensive when you buy it processed or pre-made. Basic food staples for making your own meals are quite cheap. And they’re healthier. Bunch of bananas for $4 vs a bag of doritos.

Not sure what kind of rice you buy, but its not 12 dollars. A package of pasta will make a family of 4 maybe a meal and lunch.
8 dollars for a bag of carrots is a rip off.
Not everyone eats pork. A package of chicken breast at Costco now runs you over 30 bucks easily. Even cheaper cuts of chicken are expensive now.
