There's nothing wrong with frozen veggies or meat that's been marked down to sell (as long as it's not fish).

>cheap out on things like meat or things like cooking oil
no. get chicken thighs with skin on, peel that shit, render the fuck outta them and store that in a container. then with the crispy chicken skins sprinkle salt or old bay if you have any human decency and enjoy chicken skin cracklings. chicken fat (or chicken butter in this case) is pretty good.

Rice, potatoes, beans, canned/frozen veggies, tomato paste, powdered garlic/onion/ginger, bouillon, add these things in various combinations to whatever meat is cheap with your favorite herbs. Rinse and repeat

Spam, tuna, sardines if your to cheap for fresh meat.

Just depends on how low you want to go. If you want to go full poverty-fag you can live off potatoes and butter.

If you have money to play with though, potatoes still provide a nice base, add chicken (cheap as hell, usually) beans, rice, and kale is cheap enough and has lots of vitamins in it. Eggs are cheap too, bacon is sometimes cheap. Any cooking oil is fine, you can cheap out on that. Just find a good store and keep up with sales.

pic related, chicken has been 99 cents a pound at my local store for weeks, ~$4 worth makes the mainstay of my meals for a week

same shit poster again. if you have a butcher then get the cheap cuts or the parts no-one wants of meat and make stews. a rotisserie chicken carcass can make a proper meal for several days.

make pasta.
it stores well before being cooked, it's got protein, fiber, good carbs(don't get enriched pasta) as well as a fine way to get your veggies and is easy to make.

I bought a pound of ground beef and two pounds of chicken from my Kroger the other day for just 5 bucks total. I just make a huge batch of stew/chili/whatever and eat it for a week.
