You might like http://www.budgetbytes.com/ ; she has a lot of recipes. The healthiest ones are probably the ones tagged "beans and grains" and "vegetarian". A price estimate per dish is included for all recipes, which is a good guide.

Not recipes per sei, but the following staples...

- beans (dried and in bulk)
- potatoes
- rice
- eggs
- hardy vegetables the keep like broccoli and cabbage and carrots
- whole chickens and chicken parts
- cuts of beef like top round that need marinating to be tender (cook to medium and slice thinly against the grain
- fattier cuts of beef and pork in general
- Frozen vegetables on sale
- meat on sale
- dairy on sale

Oatmeal is a very budget friendly food. Add fruit, add pumpkin, add a bit of brown sugar. Experiment with spices like cinnamon, or nutmeg.

Go to your dollar store and pick up some frozen fruit and raisins, grab a few bananas from the grocery. Some milk, brown sugar, a squirt of pancake syrup, a dollar of jelly, and a dab of peanut butter, sweeteners, spices..... you've got a breakfast for a family for under $2. If that's too much for you budget, go for plain oatmeal sweetened with sugar. Still low calorie, but half the cost.
