One thing to remember when thinking about eating on a budget, free range chicken is one of the most biologically available food sources for humans. You pay a minor premium for the free range product, but that then means your getting a much healthier food source (battery chickens often has dangerously high levels of sat fats). Yes chicken day in day out can get boring, but when needs must, you can't beat it for the price.
I lived for a month on the following:
Breakfast: Oats, plain, with full fat milk. One multivitamin + mineral, one fish oil capsule, one probiotic capsule, one antioxidant.
Lunch: Chicken sandwich (oven cooked myself). Steamed broccoli.
Dinner: Chicken breast - sliced, sweet potato, spinach.
Drinks: Water, and only water.
I can tell you coming out of that month I was sick of the chicken, but I never felt so healthy.
