In my quest to find cheap, healthy, quick food my children will actually eat, I've started a list of healthy, inexpensive foods. Thought I'd share. If anyone has any other ideas, please let me know!
apples
bananas
beans-lentils, black, pinto, white, garbanzo (cook yourself and freeze with a little liquid)
broccoli
brown rice (takes about 45 min. to cook, so make in bulk and freeze-then just "nuke")
canned tuna
chicken on sale, freeze
corn tortillas
eggs-even organic are still a good deal for a protein
frozen veggies
fruits & veggies in season
homemade bread, tortillas & pizza
hummus (cook own garbanzo beans-about 2 cups of beans equals 1 can)
jar of spaghetti sauce, use coupons
low fat milk
oatmeal
oatmeal cookies
popcorn for snack (buy popcorn and pop yourself on stove or air pop)
potatoes-baked w/ skin
spinach
tofu
whole grain pasta

Maybe you should compile all of this in a book.
