Huh? Isn't cheaper food often the unhealthiest food? In Chicago, using the McDonalds app [0] I can get a large latte and 2 bacon and egg biscuits for just $5. That's a ready-to-eat meal with a ton of calories. You could match that value in healthy foods by buying in bulk, but then you'd have to include costs of freezer space and time for prep.
[0] $4 for a bacon & egg biscuit, $1 more for buy-1-get-1-free, and the McCafe drink of any size comes free for an order of $3+
