Do you know how much that is? Seeing as i get paid in dollars, converting it correctly taking into account what it would cost in the netherlands, I wouldnt spend more then 200 dollar a month on food.

I say the problem isnt the gas, if it is, you are using way too much.
How on earth do you spend $400 a month on food? I live in a family of 4 and we hardly spend $300 a month on food.
Grocery shopping: $100 every two weeks. so $200
Lunch: 5 times $10 dollar every week, so $200

total: $400

doesnt even include beer and such.

And the bread is the only bread that is actually edible. The rest of them all taste like rubber. But im probably spoiled by the good tasting bread that isnt a taboo in holland.
