Buy food, make a simple stove and cook it on the road? It's not that hard!
Why should eating on the road be any more expensive than eating at home?
It's just bigger portions with the same ingredients...
If you spend more than twenty dollars a week in food for a single person at home,
I guess you just love spending money...
I apologize if I offended you. I was really just asking for enlightenment. Also I did respond directly to the OP"s question in my earlier response.

I cook most of my food but did eat some restaurant and fast-food too.
I'm NOT including transportation home, although I could, because it cost me nothing driving someone's car back east for them. Also NOT included is health insurance, and cell phone.
