My disclaimer is that this is not a healthy, rounded meal, this is a meal plan for someone on an extremely low budget. You will have eggs and beans left over at the end of the week. You can make both beans into patties and freeze for later.

In most places this should cost less than $30 for this food. If you are a really good shopper, you can get it for under $25.

stirfry- rice, egg, frozen veg, soy sauce
to make the flatbread mix flour and water, then cook on high heat in a hot skillet, turning once
to make black bean burgers, mix soaked beans with salt and any other spice you choose, form into patties
potato wedges- cut potatoes, coat with oil and salt, roast until brown
hummus- in a blender place soaked chick peas with cooked garlic (i chop mine, then place in a skillet until golden in color.
There is no a lot of variety in this menu, you will probably get bored with it pretty quickly, but since you will have beans left over, you will not need to buy them for the next week and that will add money to add variety.
I assume you have salt, pepper, oil and some basic spices in your pantry.
