    When I was broke, my staples tended to be:

    - dried beans in bulk
    - brown rice in bulk
    - potatoes
    - oats in bulk
    - whole grain sandwich bread (nothing fancy, but I preferred whole grain and have never liked cheap white bread)
    - peanut butter
    - cabbage...lots of cabbage
    - frozen vegetables when on sale
    - whatever the cheapest apples were
    - whatever meat/poultry was on sale...usually lots of chicken parts and whole chickens
    - eggs

    For you breakfast, I'd personally ditch the bread and opt for oats or something...more filling and more nutrition and dirt cheap.
