Discussion on answer by TomTom: Is $20/day and $603/month (USD) a lot, average or little for one person's "food and related" costs?

"Considering that frozen junk food is about the most expensive food you can buy" - this varies. Try shopping in a major U.S. city; a lot of the time the premade/highly processed offerings are among the cheaper items and it's decent/fresh produce that comes at a premium.
