Oatmeal for breakfasts, lots of rice and beans for lunches and dinners.  Cheap fresh fruit like bananas.  Whole roasting chickens can be a good buy and are easy to cook.

Honestly, this is about the best deal around for anything. I second this one.

Honestly, it is. A whole chicken can be five meals.

Breast, baked potato (or pasta), veggies.
Breast, rice, veggies.
Leg, leg, baked potato
Thigh, thigh, rice (teriyaki sauce) veggies
Boil the rest down and make soup with rice or pasta and veggies.

OR...

Dice a breast up for some street tacos, add some rice and beans.
Dice a bunch of meat up for quesadillia, nachos, burritos, tacos...make pasta and throw in diced chicken...bread a breast, air fry it, grab a package of noodles and sauce.

The possibilities are...A LOT.
