"proper food" is actually very cheap - from a nutritional point of view, beans and rice are a complete meal. other cheap examples include peanut butter with whole wheat bread, hummus and pita bread, tortillas and refried beans (or a pinto bean and corn salad) - even a simple tofu stir fry is nutritionally complete.
it's true that some of the ingredients take time to prepare but that's just a sacrifice you have to make to eat cheap and healthy food.
