More tips from my experience:

• plain rice goes a long way for meals, and so do dried beans! they usually go for $1/lb at the store
• huge bags of potatoes usually go for <$5 at grocery stores, and, when stored properly, they last a long time!
• spending a little bit more up front for spices and/or sauces REALLY helps when you’re eating the same plain rice and vegetables every day!
• look up ways to make your vegetables last by regrowing or freezing!
• check out these subreddits (/r/EatCheapAndHealthy, [check out this post], /r/7DollarDinners, /r/Cheap_Meals, /r/BudgetFood, /r/StudentFood) for more info on eating healthy and cheaply! These help me out a ton!
