Rice
You can use white rice but brown is works best. Serve everything with rice or a wholemeal pasta if you prefer. Just boil and strain. Check out bulk options such as at Costco or Sams Club. Bulk rice is insanely cheap frugal food!
Breakfast
Oats was a staple I had every single morning. It's cheap and delicious. The non name brand oats is the way to go. The brand name varieties are just $2-4 but that's still 2-4 times more expensive. Add your favorite fruit to change it up like sliced banana. Let it cook along with the oats. Add some milk if that's what you like. I preferred to add coconut cream and coco at the end.
Coffee
Buy the cheapest ground beans that you can. A decent french press or aeropress will make a respectably cup of coffee and they cost next to nothing. 6 cups of coffee purchased from your local coffee shop will likely equal out to the cost of a basic french press.
Fast meals
To avoid eating out always have some ingredients around so that you can quickly throw together a quick meal.
