Chuck is pretty spot-on in his price analysis, but keep in mind his epicureanism is backed by a substantially-larger budget than mine.
That's not to say that you cannot eat well on a budget. Vending machine prices for drinks are pretty comparable to the US. Those little milk jugs are 100 yen, about $1. A large 2-liter bottle of water at the grocery store is 150 yen, about $1.50.
Go to the grocery store if you can, not only is it fun to look at all the different products they carry (and try to figure out what they actually are), but it's cheaper than eating out all the time.
A small tray of excellent quality maguro (tuna) sashimi is about $5. Chuck's breakdown of finer dining is accurate. Snack-type foods run anywhere from 500 to 1,000 yen, $5 to $10.
Ramen, takoyaki and okonomiyaki are all roughly $8.
