Get a BIG bag of rice, 20-lbs for $7.99 or so. And a BIG bag of beans, about the same price. These will last you 2-3 months.
Costco has good deals on chicken. You can pick up a tray of thighs & drumsticks for $10 which should last about a month. Separate them into sandwich bags and throw them into the freezer.
Then buy fresh veggies weekly at local farmer's market if you have them. Or Trader Joes or WholeFoods, etc. which typically have wider selection of veggies than supermarket chains. Then look up recipes for making tasty dishes out of what you have. I got through 1st year of school on a $50/m food-budget somehow. At $125-150/m, I had more than I could eat!
