He did become wealthy one day and eventually snagged a wife who took it to her ex.

Actually, this is the author of Millionaire Teacher - Andrew Hallam.
Fantastic book everyone should read. He's Canadian too.
On food costs, some things my wife and I are doing that save us quite a bit of money on groceries:
- get the Flipp app and price match on stuff you see on sale (we do this at Walmart, super easy)
- just buy meat on sale with yellow stickers. Take it home and freeze it right away. Most meat is on sale for 25-50% off and is perfectly edible.
