It's hard for me to break things down to the meal, because Adam and I haven't been eating the same things - he eats meat and I'll have rice and beans, or I'll grab a sandwich because his teeth are bothering him and he doesn't want to eat. But I think your figure of .75-1.00 per serving is pretty darn good. I'm sure we don't do better than that.
Lately I've been splurging on a lot of fresh produce, which is, of course, more expensive, so I've been spending maybe $40-$50 a week on food. When I don't buy so much of the good stuff, and just get canned veggies, I can probably squeak by on $20 a week.
Oh yeah, and we do all generics too. For the most part, we get meat on sale. I skip a lot of things that would be nice, but aren't completely necessary, like soy milk. I'm a sucker for fresh produce, though, so that's one thing I refuse to pass up unless I really have to.
