Sadly, fresh vegetables and protein bars are not realistic when you are on a very tight food budget. Fresh vegetables (and fruits) are super expensive and go bad pretty quickly. Only do that if you are making something that can be frozen and stored for a long time. I think protein bars are about $1? 5-10 of those for the month eats into your budget fast. Pasta, yes. Lots of pasta. Anything else needs to be things that can be frozen or are canned. And, of course, milk and bread any time you can get it. Peanut butter, yes. Food pantries are a godsend for low income folks because it frees up your budget so you can supplement the pricier needs like produce and milk.
