- do cereal or bagel for breakfast (or something easy like that with essentially no cleanup) : ~$3 - go to a deli for lunch. No drink, no junk. Buy whatever drinks and snacks you want and keep them at home. It's really easy to double your lunch cost with drink, fries, side, dessert, etc. : ~$15 If you do this at home with Deli meat $5, and still very little effort or cleanup - Do whatever you feel like for dinner $~35 This can be done for half of what you are spending anywhere in the world. I've done it in Tokyo, Switzerland, whatever. My daily food costs were closer to $1500 / month.
