Dry pinto beans are cheap (and flavorless). You just need to soak them in water before cooking.
Rice is a carb and nutritionally void, but it will fill you up and keep the cravings away.
A better path is to shift your entire diet away from carbs and toward nutritionally dense, unprocessed foods. But, this takes time, and you probably don’t want to start that when you’re low on money.
I’ve been eating a mostly plant-based keto diet for 15 years now. I can easily go two days on just water and be fine, no cravings. The best way to save money on food is to not eat at all. So, rather than eat crappy food just to feel full and stave off carb cravings, eat less food, but more nutritionally dense food. You’ll save money and still be healthy.
