Costa Rica is not that cheap compared to other countries in Central America. However, Albania is great for food and accommodation. There's lots of meat and produce available locally and serving sizes are generous. I had trouble finishing meals on my trip there in 2013.
In Sri Lanka last summer I found food and accommodations not so cheap unless you get off the tourist path. Lots of resort hotels on the coast charge a lot for meals (like resorts in other countries) because there is nothing else around. To get off the resort into town even costs a lot for the tuk tuk rides.
