Now that grocery stores are implementing digital auto-pricing, and confirmed to be micro-adjusting prices based on algorithmic data, would it not be possible to just tailor your algorithm to guarantee you the lowest prices on all products?

I don't think it would be particularly difficult to gamify getting price reductions either. Find who you know who gets the lowest prices, isolate factors that get those results...

This seems like an extremely exploitable system, and exploitable without having to do anything even remotely close to illegal.

tl;dr: You can now pretend you're a poorfag to get cheaper food.

That pricing rig is one layer outside your reasoning. Either play Macintosh with all the free time you have by asking your store to aesthetically price-match flyers, or set up a bootstrap of bologna and bread, a canister of salt, a barrel of oats, some milk, water, and some fruit and beverages to fill the time.

You could try that baseline of one week for about $10-$20 USD, which is the benchmark entry-level spend for anything of note in Google's broken ad-funded automatic economy that the companies are underwriting.

Don't undereat though, don't starve, and make sure your health is in-line with your expectation. Focus on the protein, try carbs out but be realistic on yielding sugars. (Apple Computer being in run as an antagonistic brand with no return investment of them answering the public is the reason prices everywhere are rising.)

poor people don't eat healthy food. actually healthy food is more expensive than processed slop so you will be eating processed shit if its just based off what the poorest consumer buys.
