I calculated how much I spend on food, shopping at Lidl in the EU in a mid range expensive country, and I pay about 3 euros per day.

That's about the same as $3.40, but for 4 full meals (one of those is smaller than the others)

Admittedly I've optimized my menu.

but you don't say what you buy because eating only potatoes really is cheap

I do eat them, but they're not that cheap.

Oats, brown sugar, milk, (frozen) french fries, chicken burgers, "American" cheese, gnocchi, tomato basil pasta sauce, turkey nuggets, tinned beans, xv olive oil, lemon juice, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, chicken salt, seedless grapes
