When I was a broke college student, I had the following very short grocery list:

bread
eggs
jarred tomato sauce
cheese food “singles”
canned tuna

optional:
Carnival hot dogs (59 cents a pound)
Cheapo bologna (99 cents a pound)

With just those ingredients and a toaster oven and a hot plate, I was able to have a surprisingly varied menu for not much money, without having to spend a lot of prep time cooking.

When I was in college I used to live on
Cheerios,
Milk,
Bananas,
Eggs,
Peanut Butter and Jelly.

Sometimes one turkey per month (you can make a surprising number of meals for nearly a month from one turkey, including soup from the bones)

Your food choices (by necessity, of course) are simply not very healthy. Lots of processed foods, I’m afraid. Yeah, you can live on this stuff but who calls that living?!
