I could get a good sized serving of bourbon chicken and/or honey chicken at a local place for $4.

Cooking it myself, spaghetti and french toast are both really cheap to make. Homemade pizza is too, but a little more work and a little more messy.
 
$20 will make a batch of pepper steak that's 5 to 6 meals for me.

$10 will make a double-batch of spaghetti sauce (the real kind, not from a jar) that's 10+ meals for me (and easily frozen/thawed).

Same for chicken soup.

$6 will pay for two pork chops and a couple big potatos for baking, that's 2 meals.

Real food > processed junk.
