I married a candian, and currently a second canadian buddy is living with us so for 3 adults we're spending on food $250/month and $250 eating out. That's in a HCOLA where food is definitely more expensive than most places in Canada. I've shopped in Canada with DH's parents and when they've come they've commented on how much we pay.
Where we live now, we have gone and stayed weekends in Montreal and Toronto and I've seen supermarkets. And I can easily compare prices. Definitely cheaper so you're getting a lot of food for $900.
If you can handle the expense don't bother. I used to spend and still do occasionally $400 month eating out. I've changed to maintain weight loss. So cooking is healthier alternative.
