/r/povertyfinance might help you navigate this tough time.

Everyone recommending rice and beans are right. You can also throw in russet potatoes, quick oats in bulk, canned veggies.

YouTube channel Great Depression Cooking might have some cheap varieties for you. Here’s her Poorman’s Meal https://youtu.be/p-GVl7scrYE

Definitely contact local churches and food banks. When my mom was having trouble navigating a divorce, raising 2 kids on a low wage, we were able to score fresh veggies and staples from a local church.

I wish you all the best, no one should have to go through this.

I just wanted to also add that search YouTube for budgeting for family off of 30 a month or something like that!

Also check what you have, you could be amazed at what you can do with what you have on hand!
