Chicken thighs and drumsticks are cheap. Potatoes are cheap, rice is cheap.

Look up the online sale circulrs online and check them every week to find out what's on sale at each store that you want to buy and visit several stores each week to get the sale items.

Get up early and do your shopping first thing in the morning and look for marked down veggies and meat.

Seasonal fruit and veggies are expensive, but buy them when they are on sale. Frozen veggies are your next best option.

Oatmeal is cheap, eggs are cheap ,beans are cheap.

Look up recipies and learn to cook. You can't afford premade foods, but you can afford to eat well if you cook.

All of the above.

I don't know about your store, but here potatoes are cheap. They are nutritious and filling and versatile. A five pound bag should give you one potato a day for thirty days. I have seen those bags for around $1. A dozen eggs will give you protein for almost 2 weeks for generally around $1 a week. You don't need to eat meat every day. Beans and corn in the same meal will give you protein.

Bags of juicer carrots are cheap, and will give you more nutrition for your buck than most anything. Look for bags where most of the carrots are not black and dead on top. Use up those first and expose the rest to some sunlight for a day or too, keep them moist though, and then refrigerate them..

Grow leaf lettuce in a bucket on your balcony or in front of a window if you can't grow it outside. Plant some of those carrots in the bucket too.

A batch of green onions planted in a little soil will give you seasoning for months. Just trim a little leaf off the top and put that in soup and stew instead of using big onions. They will keep growing and replenishing for you. You could put them in with the lettuce and carrots.

Take the leftover bones from those cheap chicken cuts and boil them up with some of those green onion tops for a good soup base. Add potato, carrot and a bit of chicken for a soup that will last for two or three lunches.

A 5 pound bag of flour and some baking powder will give you the base for breads for at least a couple of weeks. Buy one package of yeast, learn to culture it and use it for raised sour or sweet dough bread for the rest of your life. When you boil up those potatoes, don't salt them sometimes and use the potato water to feed the yeast. Other times, use the salted water for soup base.

Find a way to get to your local dollar store and buy spaghetti sauce and pasta there. Plus other things. Pasta is another cheap staple that will go a long long way.

Go to the Food Bank.

Soups, breads, potatoes and a tiny place to grow a few fresh veggies will make it possible to spend the bulk of your food allowance on meat and other foods.

You can do it. Good luck.

Welfare recipients can buy vegetable plants and seeds with their food stamps. Most are too lazy to grow their own real food. They want the expensive fast food microwave meals in the freezer dept so they can complain how poor they are...
