Learn Spanish (Latin America): No tenemos suficiente dinero y comprar comida es bastante caro. - We do not have enough money and buying food is quite expensive.

Most Spanish adjectives go after the noun, but adjectives of quantity (like suficiente, mucho, and poco) go before the noun. Also, notice it does not change gender to match the masculine word dinero because adjectives ending in -e work for both masculine and feminine nouns.

Does bastante mean "enough" or "quite"?

It can mean both! When used with a noun, it usually means "enough" (like bastante dinero). But in this sentence, it is an adverb describing how expensive something is (bastante caro), so it translates to "quite" or "fairly."

Why is it comprar comida instead of a word ending in -ando or -iendo for "buying"?

In English, we often use the "-ing" form of a verb as a noun, like saying "buying food is expensive." In Spanish, you must use the infinitive (the basic dictionary form, like comprar) whenever a verb is the subject of a sentence.

Since comida is feminine, why does the sentence use the masculine word caro?
