We're starting from north Jersey to around Kansas City, is our destination, but we'll probably explore its neighboring states as well. I calculated on this site that the gas would cost about 400$ for there and back. But how much would it cost for food and everything? We're planning on car camping or something and not using many diners or fast food places- just occasionally. Plus we're most likely going to shop. We might have 2 more people with us so splitting the cost would be good, but how much would the total cost be for everything?? If you could help me out that would be great.

I am not sure what car camping is. Realistically, I wouldn't plan on 4 people spending every night in the car. Or are you taking a tent and staying in campgrounds? If you're staying in modest motels, plan on $40 per night minimum. For campsites, maybe $15 to $20.
You don't mention how long you will be gone. If you're eating out of a cooler every meal, maybe $10 a day, maybe less if you're just eating peanut butter sandwiches. Some of that cost is to replenish ice.
I would plan on a minimum of $100 a day. Be careful and have fun!

looks like your doing good. Food, Gas, lodging, spnding money. Calculate the average for all of them and figure the total. Add 10% for margine of error and bingo estimated total amount.
