What? Since when do supermarkets change the prices late at night? I've never heard of that. My supermarket doesn't do that.

It's not on everything. They will have a basket of like sandwiches and pasties. Basically stuff that was meant to be eaten that day and they can't put on the shelves tomorrow.

There's no way i could live on $1.55 a day. Just 1 can of soup costs more than $1.55 and you can't live on just 1 can of soup a day.
That $1.55 could buy a full bag of veg to make a pot of home made soup which would do you for 3/4 meals though.

But that would require a lot more of my time, and my time has value too...
