$140/mo is actually a LOT.
If you're even halfway competent in the kitchen, you can make your own bread, $15/mo will buy you enough flour to bake a loaf EVERY DAY, well over 2000kcal each.

Canned tuna can be bad depending on where it was fished.
Canned sardines (I get the skinless & boneless) aren't cheap but they're very very good protein and because they're low on the food chain have almost zero contaminants in them. Eggs are cheap protein but can't be a primary source because of what it will do to your cholesterol.
If you have an Asian grocery store nearby, you look for Rolled Dried Squid (it also comes shredded) it's very affordable protein you can snack on and it's delicious.
So if you're active enough to need the carbs, baking your own bread and filling your protein requirements with sardines, eggs, squid, or perhaps nuts, that is seriously less than $40/mo. Then you just need your fruits and veggies which will run you about the same, depending on the season and where you buy, if you buy local fresh produce the price can be higher/lower by the season than at a grocery store.
