How about this -
Breakfast: Box of cereal ($5) + Carton of milk ($6) = $11 for a week's worth of breakfast.
Lunch: Loaf of bread ($3) + 5 apples ($6) + 200g sandwich meat ($6) = $14 for a week's worth of lunch
Dinner: Bag of potatoes ($7) + bag of carrots ($4) + package of 5 chicken breasts ($15) = $26 for a week's worth of dinner
That's $51 for one person in a week, breakfast, lunch, and dinner. It's not terribly exciting and not amazingly healthy but it's far cheaper and far more healthy than a fast food diet.

Fair enough. I stopped really quickly in terms of numbers crunching. I did mean "Mac and Cheese" at a literal level; the quick calculator test was to see the difference in cost and Macaroni and Cheese was my compared food. Using that food was probably the mistake.
