6 of those dollars for the sliced yakiniku.
Lotte Grosir supermarket In Yogya, Indonesia. I figured I'd get some fresh fruit, make some beef jerky and then eat all of the snacks I hadn't tried yet.

FAQ
"How much does traveling cost?"
Cost of living(rent, utilities, data/wifi, groceries) is $500 USD per month for most countries, $1000 for most others.
"Health care and insurance?"
Health care and insurance abroad are both pennies on the US dollar for the highest quality of medical care
"What about visas?"
You usually don't need them; when necessary, visas are almost all entirely online: a fifteen minute e-form and nominal fee offset in your first day by the drastically lower cost of living abroad.
"How do you make money while abroad?"
Any job that nets you $500+ a month works. There are almost 2 billion English students globally right now, so native English speakers have lucked into a guaranteed job on or offline.
"What qualifications do I need as an English teacher?"
Some countries and schools require a TEFL certificate or prefer candidates with an associate's degree depending on the position, but if you want to teach English, all you need is to be a fluent English speaker.

Nah, this was a deliberate effort of mine to try all the junky crap I basically never eat, so this haul is entirely representative of me trying to eat crappy and basically the opposite of the local diet that I've been enjoying so far.
I only ever see Indonesians eating freshly prepared, unprocessed food, and their produce/meat sections have very fresh, varied ingredients.
Everyone is pretty thin here, I don't actually think I've seen an overweight Indonesian yet now that you mention it.
