I'll admit I've never had a budget that low before :hubie:

What I'm doing:
20lb rice--$12 great value
20lb beans--$16 great value
20lb russet potatoes--$12
4lbs frozen vegetables--$6
Seasoning and spices-$4

Getting vitamins and minerals from the vegetables, fiber from the rice and potatoes, protein from the beans, seasonings and spices can make that shyt taste different depending on the day of the week. I can plant the potatoes in my home and grow extra if they start sprouting near the end of the month.

We have packs of 2lbs of ground pork and beef for $8

I’d get 3 of those
18 carton of eggs is $6, I’d get two of those
Cheese beans some onions and spices to round out the $50

If you portion correctly you should be fine only needing to eat 2 meals a day :manny:
