Mac N' Cheese and try to get some canned veggies, not as good as real veggies but you can still get some nutrition.
Chicken, chicken, chicken. I buy 2-3 packages every two weeks. Cook up the 4 or so in each package and use them throughout the week. I like a little lemon juice and I'm neverendingly changing the spices that I put on them. That and soup, lots of soup. I like the healthy choice chicken noodle. Pasta with some sauce. Celery, cheap fruits (apples on sale, etc. etc.). Can you tell I'm in college?

Bulk foods like brown rice, beans, and oatmeal are very inexpensive, tastes great, are filling, and are healthy too. If you eat meat (I don't), you could also eat lean hamburger and get by nicely. Fast a day or two here and there too and you should be able to live for 3 weeks for under $50 without much problem.
Split 50/50 between Ramen and Easymac. Drink water and eat 1 or 2 meals a day.
Buy a big fat loaf of bread and some bulk peanut butter and you've got breakfast.

brown rice, beans, onions, and bacon
bring the beans to a boil and then turn off and let soak one hour
during the soak brown the bacon then saute the onion in the bacon grease
throw the onions and bacon into the soaking beans, return to a boil and let cook till done
2 pounds of beans and a pound of brown rice is easily under 5 bucks and will feed you for several days
