Don't do this, you'll be malnourished. Grains aren't a particularly good food group.

Potatoes don't require much prep, are generally cheap and filling, and will be much better nutrient wise. I'd still recommend rice and beans though. Canned beans work if you have no means to cook.

Beans are cheaper dry than canned though. If you have the patience you can start them in a slow cooker before you go to work.

Garlic, onion, and peppers go miles in making beans taste good while also being cheaper.

I'm wondering now though whether the cost balances out because dry beans require a lot more energy to cook? I know they need at least an hour on the stove, whereas canned beans you can just add to a chilli etc straight away

This can also be mitigated a lot by cooking the beans in the morning mor a short time, packing the pan into a lot of blankets and then cooking it shortly in the evening.
