If you just eat egg fried rice using ingredients from Aldi you’re able to bring your weekly food costs down to about £2-£3 a week, I lived that way for about 3 months during the cost of living crisis. Sure it was only 1000 calories a day but I was able to get all the nutrients I needed from the ingredients.
How do egg and rice have all the nutrients you need?
Because you can mix in other stuff like frozen vegetables and some meat if you can afford it
And if you're truly worried about making sure that you have minimal nutrition to survive on, that is literally the thing that multivitamins were invented to address.
Sure, you won't be living your absolute maximum healthiest lifestyle by doing this but if you've got to get through a couple of tight months this is the way to do it. The Dollar tree sells multivitamins. $1.25 for a month supply is not hopefully going to break the bank.
I think eggs have pretty much all the nutrients you need. They are high in cholesterol though. Same thing with milk. They are the sole nutrition for animals for a period of time, so they have everything needed in it (at least everything the animal needs).
I don't know where you live but where I am the eggs alone would eat up £2 a week assuming you ate 1 a day.
Just to add: rice + cheap ricecooker.
Perfect rice every time, no need to boil water so saves electricity, you can also use it to boil vegetables and chuck other stuff in.
