There's this really good place in Shibuya that was like, 200 yen per dish. It was fantastic. It's under a bridge and then down a alley. If you know your basics it's easy to order. That was my favorite food the whole time I was there.
Food is cheaper than you think in Japan. In Harajuku, just go down alleys. Don't go with to main street restaurants. Shintaka street (I think) had some small restaurants, but they were HEAPS more expensive than the small places. I spent $15 a day tops on food. And I always ate out, except for breakfast.
Lollies are cheap too.

Polar said it all, but I want to second his opinion. After two days of conbini lunches, you will be ready for something different. Yes, they heat your cup-of-noodles for you. How many days in a row do you want to eat 200yen meals that are 50 cents in America (but you provide the hot water and chopsticks)?
