Only if you like McDonald's. UGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
I've spent about $3500 for groceries this year, just for me. I eat at a restaurant maybe once a month. I do not buy cheap stuff. I buy what I like. But that is only about $10 per day. I would find it difficult to eat a healthy diet on just $10 per day. And I know I could probably cut another 10 to 15% off my grocery bill by shopping smarter and using coupons.
When I first retired, I was spending about $6K a year on groceries. But I switched to a lower priced supermarket and I only spend about $4K a year now. It helps that everything I spend goes into Quicken. Its real easy to compare what I spend by categories per year.
Hell, I spend more on internet access/cable TV thru Comcast each month than I do on food.
