If you are going to do it this way, and going to GURPS, the costs for eating out are probably better than for field rations. Since this a DFRPG thread I won't go into detail, but this works at out to $84 (for three Status -1 meals over seven days).

But this is, IMO, way too much detail for DFRPG. I would just either:

1. Treat this as Crafting, reducing it to $120 on a success and increasing it to $165 on a failure.
2. Allow Create Food as a Complimentary roll on Urban Survival and allow you to just pay nothing.
