Hey OP:
I am a poorfag college student, and this is what I have found to work, in terms of eating healthy, with a slim budget, and rigorous schedule.
1. Buy local, buy bulk, buy in season. Freeze your vegetables and fruits, if you're unable to consume them before expiration.
2. Make your food last. Buy some sort of meat in the beginning of the week (a whole chicken is perfect for this), and make at least four dishes with it. A whole chicken isn't very expensive, and if roasted, there's one meal. Cut the rest of the meat off, and use it for sandwiches, chicken salad, pot pie, etc. The bones and gizzards are perfect for making stock for soup. This can be applied to beef and pork, too.
3. EAT RICE! Its cheaper than pasta, fills you up faster, and has more fiber.
I'm able to keep myself fed, healthy, and fit on $20 a week by doing the above.
