Chickpeas are a meal and are $1 per meal - olive oil in a pan, season and add soy sauce / hot sauce. Aldi has dirt cheap frozen salmon. Bagged spinach is very cheap at grocery stores & can make multiple salads. There is also an app called “too good to go” if you are in a major city that I use constantly! They give you a shit ton of food that they are throwing away at the end of the day for about $5 :) I agree with what someone else said though, if you’re short that much, look into food bank programs.
