Groceries: Price Comparisons

We've always been under the impression that food is more expensive in France. But when the topic came up in my French class, the teacher said that many items were cheaper, and some were comparable. We decided to check the items we commonly buy...

USA : France* - Item
$2/# : 4.40 - Chicken breast
$10 ea : 3.00 - wine bottle
$11/# : 5.80 - paté
$20/# : 20 - Beef filet
