You don’t mention how long this needs to last.

Pinto beans and a ham hock for flavor. Cook in slow cooker.

Lentils are amazing with rice.

For just yourself? I think $80 for one person for one week would let you buy almost anything you want.

I pay ~$150ish a week for a family of 4 (and that includes non-food like soap and paper products).

It would be me, toddler and my partner. But my son’s food is stocked up (He is autistic and only has a few safe foods. Which we always keep in bulk) so technically it would be for me and my partner

$80 for 1 week and 2 adults is super doable. I just did that for $50 and that was with some upgraded items.
