Although I never paid much attention I would guess no more than $20/day on groceries to prepare meals at home. In my dotage I eat mostly simple, healthy meals prepared with fresh veggies, legumes, fresh fruit, chicken, fish and far less red meat than I used to consume when younger. I cannot remember the last time I drank a soft drink and I don't miss them. I do enjoy eating out with friends and a glass or two of Bordeaux now and then which probably runs another $400/mo. Life is too short to drink cheap wine.
