We usually eat breakfasts out ---cheapest and can be a substantial appetite suppressant, allowing you to eat a light lunch (buy staples at grocery and keep in an ice chest. Keeping a stash of celery, carrots, fresh fruit, and sandwich makings) Dinner can be a nice salad --that you can easily prepare at a camppground, park, or rest stop). A necessity is a small propane stove...allowing you to boil eggs (that you can keep peeled & cold in plastic sndwich bags in ice chest), make pasta, make coffee/tea. Buying drinks/snack foods at convenience stores will make your wallet shrink at mach speed.

If you do actually have the money for the trip then just ignore this post. My answer isn't for upstanding citizens. It's for one who will get there by any means necessary.
Get a fish tank water pump or something similar and pump gas out of other peoples cars along the way to save on gas.
Stop at Dunkin' Donuts and Pizza Places along the way get food out of the dumpsters behind them. They throw away perfectly good food if it doesn't sell that day. Sometimes the pizza is still hot and they're all in a pizza boxes so it's not like they were contaminated or anything.
Of course, I don't know how much money you need to save but there's been times that I've been broke and absolutely had to get my self and a small group of others across the country. And we learned many tricks for staying on the road.

I am a big fan of food from home - always do it. Have cooler, will travel. Make ahead muffins, cold drinks, sandwiches you make yourself, cooked chicken, fresh fruit, dry cereal. All it takes is a fresh bag of ice to keep things cold. You can go into any store and buy a few staples, make those sand. on the way. Ask for 4 slices of lunch meat at the deli, buy 1 roll, people do it all the time

Stay in State Parks or KOAs rather than hotels. Learn to cook something besides mustard sandwiches and you can save a ton of money by not eating in restaurants.

If you insist on eating out the best thing is to have a big breakfast or sleep in and skip it. If you skip it than have a big lunch because the meals are far cheaper than dinner meals. At dinner time get something small like a burger or salad! Also be sure to pack a cooler with your own water; juice; soda and snacks!

verify with your dad about your household starting to be a foster homestead for cats, providing your canine is obedience experienced and could be depended on no longer to traumatize a cat. That way the cat can flow back to the preserve once you men commute.
