Quas, you've seen lots of answers about getting to and from Culebra, so I won't comment on that. (That alone will pretty much shoot your entire budget.)
Once you're camping at Flamenco, you can eat decently well for under $10 per day. You'll eventually get sick of chicken on a stick, but it's a good bargain ($2 or so). There are other meats/fish for $4 or so. Sodas and water are a buck or so.
Taking a publico into town is $2 each way. There are grocery stores, and the prices aren't outrageously different than the US, but they're higher.
So, in my opinion, there is no way to do this on your hoped-for budget. You'd have to live on kiosk food and never venture into town, never go to a restaurant, never buy emergency things like bug spray, etc. The sacrifices would just be too great. (And even this assumes that you'll be sharing the cost of the tent site.)
Everyone spends more than they expect on a trip like this.
That being said, camping on Culebra is cheaper than any other place you can go in the region, but you have to be realistic about costs these days.
Now if you had a $350-400 budget, including transportation from PR to Culebra, that's another story.
