Chicken legs and thighs are incredibly cheap. Even if you go boneless they're still dirt cheap.

Rice. Instant rice isn't as cheap as the long cook rice.

Beans.

Frozen veggies. Get the cheap brand. You can get a rather large bag for 75 cents. They're much healthier than canned.

Bread isn't cheap. You can make it at home for about 1/3rd of the cost the store will charge.

Cereal is actually one of the most overpriced items in any store. If you're looking for breakfast, I'd go with a hot cereal. More filling and much cheaper per ounce.

Cereal. 4 dollars for 25 servings on the big box of frosted flakes doesnt seem expensive. 16 cents a bowl

I highly doubt many people actually use the servings and are satisfied. I know no one would be, not even my 2 1/2 year old.

Anything thats processed like that is going to be very expensive per serving and not leaving you with a full sensation. Stick to grains, veggies, meats, beans. There are cheap ways to do this AND it's actually fairly healthy.

Plus, a serving of something rarely equates a full meal. A serving of a vegetable is not a full meal. A serving of meat is not a full meal. A bowl of cereal is NOT a full meal. It's a partial meal. A bowl of beans and rice will likely cost the same amount as that box of cereal, but you'll be more satisfied and you'll get many more meals out of it in the long run.
