    A bag of oats, eggs, any protein on sale that week (beef/fish/chicken/turkey, etc. whatever is cheapest), two bags of frozen vegetables, fresh fruit on sale or a bag of apples (usually there are 8-10 for $5). Look for items similar to that and then with whatever money left over, get a few treats for yourself!

    Some of the lists and suggestions here won't fly if someone's broke. Avocadoes? Really. They're $1.79 apiece where I live. Pomegranates? Come on.

    Marked-down bananas are a favorite of mine. Potatoes are often on sale for a dollar or two for a 5-pound bag. Cabbage and carrots are inexpensive. A small bag of dry beans cooks up into about 8 servings for a couple dollars, much less expensive than canned.

    Sweet potatoes, veggie broth, frozen vegetables, baby spinach, almond milk, coconut milk yogurt, granola, pearl cous cous, crushed tomatoes, sometimes pasta... it really depends on what I have and what's been bought already by others.
