I fed my children after prices trippled when we joined the common market on Weetabix or egg and soilders for breakfast as a one parent I found this was the cheapest way either stews meat fish with veg fruit potatoes the bread to fill them up mostly natural foods small amounts of sauces or chips sauces if used frequent boosts up the food bill.
