buy a big bag of tasty nip rice
a store brand dollar bag of flour
salt
peppa
butter
whatever scraps of meat you can find at the absolute cheapest, use it to make gravy- usually whole chickens are cheapest per pound which is great because you can roast it on a wire rack in a sheet pan then collect all the delicious chicken fat
if you can't find any meat, just butter and flour and chicken stock is good enough
pic related is my favorite rice and it's dirt cheap

if you have a japanese rice cooker it's even easier because you can just cook a big pot every morning and eat it throughout the day, it stays perfect for like 30 hours
allegedly there's 108 servings in that 10 pound bag, but let's half that because it's unreasonable
that's 2 or 3 weeks worth of rice for ten dollars if you eat it for every single meal

cans of beans are also good
red beans and rice is fucking great:
ham hock (if you live near a butcher it should be cheap as fuck but rural grocery stores usually mark the price way up)
sausage on sale
2 cans of red kidney beans
bell pepper
celery
onion
worcestershire sauce
other various seasonings
andouille is best but you could use kielbasa if it's significantly cheaper

potatoes are also very cheap calorie/dollar
store brand butter and sour cream is very cheap usually
