If you are working still have monthly income ,it's still not so bad.

If entirely not working unemployed or retired seniors  it will be challenging. 

Just now, I bought from CCP one meat ball, one cabbage veg and tau kwa with leek = $4.70.
NO RICE.

Not working best cook at home. That time I pull molar teeth MC 5 days. Buy ntuc vermicelli 1 pack 1.15 alot can 4-5 meals. Buy China cabbage about 2 also eat 4-5 meals. Eggs depend as no offer so never buy. Add in seasoning which can cook even more meals. Then I buy 1 pack of 30 frozen fishball eat 4-5 meals. So I think one month 1k below can hit and got spare. Or eat porridge with soy sauce another meal again.
