900/month is quite a bit. ~11 grand over the course of a year. Just don't take on too many other activities and fail your shit.
I wouldn't bother with cooking. It will take too much time. I spend 500 or so a month on food. Its entirely fucking worth the extra 300 dollars a month. No cooking, no clean up, no need to store food. don't have to buy spices, cooking utensils, pots, pans, etc. It is simple. If you really want to 'cook' then on the weekend make two big batches of some kind of food, A & B. Then on Monday eat A for lunch and B for dinner. Alternate the next day. You'll be sick of it by the end of the week, so then cook something else.
One last option is getting your mom's help. I know plenty of guys who live on the food they bring from home. Their mom's essentially cook everything they need for the week and they just eat that. Go home the next week to pick up the next batch and repeat. Even if you don't eat it everyday, that can take care of food for half of the week. No money spent either
