    Plain oatmeal in the big tub is going to be the cheapest. I just buy that and add fruit.

    What you have listed is a great start! Also beans and lentils, easy to prepare (but takes some time) are super cheap. Brown rice is great for you and very inexpensive, especially if you can find it in bulk.

    Try to buy your fruits and veggies in season, that will save a lot of $$, and always always watch sales for things, even your local walmart will match the sale prices if you don't want to drive everywhere.

    I also watch for prices of whole chickens to be on great sale, usually about $.79 a pound, I'll cook one off in the crockpot then use the meat for shredded chicken all week. Very inexpensive and versatile.
