How do I force myself to stick to a food budget?

I’m basically unemployed (employed on paper, but basically zero hours), and I have had nine job interviews, and so far no luck.
My rent is very, very low (about $150 a month when utilities are factored in). Food is costing me a lot of money, though — probably $200 a month.
I have calculated that if I went on a very strict regimen of grocery store discount food and water (no soda), I could make in on $100 a month for food.
Trouble is, there’s always this temptation to eat a McDonald’s cheeseburger or buy a Coke “just this once.”
