You're a fucking dipshit. If you understand the fundamentals of cooking one to three adults can do well on $50. I'm from the UK and when I went to the USA I couldn't believe how cheap your food is. Here are some tips since you are obviously a retard.

>Shop at cheap supermarkets
>Aim for a strongly vegetable diet
>Aggressively hunt for deals
>Buy eggs in bulk and cheese in large packs
>Oil is economical in bulk too
>Having a freezer really helps, for bread, beef, anything you want
>Shop at 8PM at better supermarkets to pick up good quality reduced food
>Avoid fruits, junk food, too expensive
>Use leftover cash for cleaning materials and cover cost of cooking, spices, utensils
>Don't eat out every fucking day

In fact scratch that last one, because fucking americans can't seem to go a day without cramming a big mac into their heads. In fact you don't even need to learn how to cook in order to live cheaply in america, you can just live off the dollar menu. Fucking americans you piss me off so fucking much.

Regional prices differences account for some of it. $400 is really high for a single person, even where I am, unless you are counting eating out (which I'm not). I spend about $50-60 per week on groceries, and I could probably cut that down to $40-50, if I cut out some of the non-essentials and really just shopped the sales and discounts. But it is nice to be able to afford to buy what you want when you want it.
A $100 a month probably is possible here with out resorting to the beans and rice meme, but you'd have to really hit the sales and cut back on some of the things you'd rather not cut.

I waste very little food, but the disconnect here might be that you think I eat all of that in one week. I don't.
The tortillas are the 80 count bag, that lasts me about 2-3 weeks. The Mexican cheese is a 2lb bag of shredded cheese, it lasts about a month, to a month and a half. The polenta is enough for 6+ meals.
I just happened to pick a week where I bought a lot of multi-week items. If it would have been last week, you be wondering if I ate $10 of kimchi a week, when that was really a 64oz jar that will last at least a month.

They are the little ones, like 5-6 inches across. Two to make a decent taco, 3-4 tacos for a decent lunch/dinner = 6-8 per meal. Means a bag of 80 is 10 to 12 meals, spread out over 14 to 21 days, it isn't that hard. And the tortillas don't seems like they would last much past the third week.

Pork loin is lean so is pork tenderloin but tenderloin is much more tender. If you want pork loin it's best to have it bonein as chops. Dry Roasting lean meats tends to dry them even if you do brine.

Pork shoulder is great and fatty but tough that means slow and low moist cooking methods, braise it.

I live off 42 bucks a week as a college student. And I'm eating well too. Buy offbrand, don't buy premade, don't eat out. Cook mostly carbs and veggies, don't buy red meats as they're often more expensive. I usually eat like stir fried veggies with some chicken or maybe just do a quick roast with some tilapia. A point I would like to make about myself is that I usually shop at local ethnic markets. I've found them to be cheaper than your average megamart on some produce items. An example is broccoli I bought, $1.49 per lb at my local Albertson's ,while only like 89 cents a lb at the ethnic market. The difference is one is packaged nice and one isn't.

$50-55 a week, feeding just myself. Could do it for less, but it is nice to not have to.

Expiration dates on most foods are usually bullshit devised to make you throw it out before it's gone bad and buy more, but I've found that for mushrooms they're generally pretty accurate. The earliest sign of going bad is usually getting slimy and changing color, and it pretty much always happens within a day or two after the date for me. Most foods you can safely eat well past the date if it doesn't look rotten but I wouldn't fuck around with mushrooms.

The only way you'd have to spend that much on food per month is if you're eating out regularly or shopping like a total idiot. Seriously, pasta, noodles, lentils, beans, canned and frozen vegetables, tofu, eggs, poultry, onions, oils and spices, cheese to an extent, these are all insanely cheap.
