Cooking from scratch means you can eat well* for less than the cost of getting the equivalent food pre-packaged/takeout/at restaurants, but it won't be the cheapest of the cheap. I guess maybe you could buy dry beans and prepare those with little to nothing on them for the equivalent of the dollar store pre-packaged food but I feel like that would be even more dreary than eating the pre-packaged stuff, and that comes from someone who likes to eat a lot of chickpeas (I put stuff on them and mix them with other things).

*more appetizing, tastier, more variety and interest, higher quality ingredients, healthier (e.g. less sugar and salt, or at least, you can control how much, as well as what type and how much fat, etc.)

I agree with all of this.

When I was trying to think if there genuinely was a way to eat as cheaply off of "normal" food as you can off of horrible, bottom-basement pre-packaged food, I thought of dry beans and rice. It's definitely one good option for extremely cheap meals that are actually fairly healthy. But as you point out, it would probably be even more dreary than the pre-packaged stuff. You could definitely shuffle it in; every third night is beans and rice night or something. But beans and rice every night would make a person crazy.
