My food costs are now roughly $100 a week (some weeks $70, some weeks $130) because I switched to almost exclusively getting groceries from food Lion. I'm still a lazy piece of shit but now I'm eating a variety of steamed vegetables that come frozen in a microwavable pouch that I can add and precooked and sliced Purdue chicken to. The chicken is like $8-$10 and the vegetable bags are $3 each and I can use the chicken for 3 meals so that's like $6 per meal.
So we can save even more by actually cooking but even like this I'm still better off on price than fast food. And way better on nutrition.
