Beans, rice, seasonings, frozen vegetables, and cheese will get you through a lot pretty cheaply.

Though speaking from inside the US, by all measures a wealthy country, the fact that anybody has to worry about food security is a gigantic shame.

WalMart's bell peppers keep getting smaller, and more expensive... luckily, they stock a packaged bundle (of about a dozen) "sweet peppers" which costs under $3.

I dice these, with an onion, and then freeze the 3/4's I don't use in the present dish. This way, they'll "keep" forever, and I don't have to chop but 25% of the time (for freshies).

Having been poor for the majority of my life (until just two years ago), please don't hesitate to ask for more "hack$."
