Someone in our local paper reviewed what you could get for $5 or less at the local restaurants. He did better than you might expect, but I agree with others, it really depends on where you shop as to what it’s going to cost. If you make your own sandwiches and buy something like a whole chicken or tuna or make some sort of vegetarian spread (like hummus or buy peanut butter) you can eat well for very little. Try to go to real supermarket, shop the outside aisles - eat fresh fruit for snacks.
