>spending more than $40/mo on food in the first world
You're an absolute financial brainlet if it costs you more.
Pic related; it's where the actual discounts are had. There's $50 of reclaimable foodstuffs in each of my reclamation silos. An individual silo can be filled in under 10 minutes behind any grocery, on any day. (weekends being the best)

meal prep to save time.
don't pay premium for meme adjectives attached to your food
price check.
add legumes to your diet. Beans can be bought at reasonable prices and contain loads of nutrients. dried kg goes for 2-3€ in Germany, can't be much more in US with all the Mexicans around.
If you cook ethnic stuff, get the extra stuff required from their stores instead of the super market.

You can easily eat healthy for a full day for the cost of one fast-food run. Or several days for a restaurant visit.
There's a bit of a learning curve for both the cooking skills and storage of course, but average intelligence is more than enough to become a decent cook.

How? Do you eat out every single day? You are literally burning money paying other people to make food for you.

It's super easy to eat a lot of healthy food for really cheap.
>brown rice
>beans
>value bags of frozen chicken breast
>potatoes (especially sweet potatoes)
>oats

Vegetables like broccoli are also pretty cheap, just gotta make sure you get the timing right so they don't go bad on you.

Also, seasoning is your friend.

I live in Europoorlandia so food prices are expensive but on average I eat something like
Breakfast : Porridge ~10c plate
Lunch : Lentils in pasta sauce and whole wheat pasta 60-70c portion
Supper : 1 Banana ~30c

Now its not the cheapest possible food but it beats dumpster diving.
