I have a feeling you don’t track your food expenses well if you think that little can feed a person, let alone a household, without a lot of charitable support or food from friends and family.
Yeah, I obviously eat nicer stuff than that because I don’t need to cut down to the bare minimum and can have nice things but if I had to I know bare minimum survival food is going to have to cost less than I spend now.
Also rice and beans can be a pretty good meal. Of course seasoning does add a little to the cost but soy sauce isn’t expensive. Depends how absolute minimum you are looking for a bare minimum survival cost. But I think if I was at that point I would probably look at catching a few crabs from the harbour to add to the dish.

The most literal definition of “survive”, bulk rice and dried beans.
