You’re just eating canned tomatoes and pasta. People get more balanced diet than that at the food bank!

Even, if it’s 2€ or 3€ for other people… It does not change the fact that you can create a huge meal for multiple days for a reasonable price.
Even if I consume all the stuff listed by you combined with pasta and tomatoes (as much as a single person can eat), that’s still not 80 $/€ a week for me…

Fresh vegetables are way more expensive than that where I live. A package of lettuce (good for 3 days) costs $4. A package of bell peppers (3 peppers) costs $8-10.
Allocating $1.50 (CAD, about equal to 1€) to vegetables might get me a head of lettuce and a bit of carrot and onion. Enough to make a basic garden salad. Nowhere near enough to make something nice like a rich vegetable soup!

I looked on the shop website of a national supermarket of my country and it offers (without discount) Gemüsepaprika (that seems to be the translation of bell peppers) for 5,30€ per Kilogram… A kilogram is probably 7 or 8 of them… But as I told before: I’m 1 person, not a whole family. There is no way, I put a kilogram or even 3 of them in there…
Maybe, it’s cheaper here. Supermarkets try to sell regional stuff, if available.

No, a kilogram of bell peppers is about 3-4 peppers. These things are massive! 5.30€ is about $7.80 Canadian. A bit cheaper but not much.
I don’t know if you have a lot of greenhouses in Europe. Here in Canada we have some but nowhere near enough to feed the country. We import a lot of vegetables from California and Mexico. Can’t always grow locally when there’s a metre of snow on the ground and the air is -10C or colder for 6 months.
