I was wondering if you only had very little money to survive with, what cheap groceries would you buy in America?

I can bulk buy stuff at my local co-op, I'm lucky to have one, and they have dried hibiscus flower fairly cheap. I boil about a half a cup of the dried flour with a gallon and a half of water, with about 3/4 cup of sugar, adding lime juice at the end. It's like adult Kool-Aid. I love it.
