What I would do in your situation:
1. Find a part time job. You should be able to double your food budget working one day a month (or a couple of shorter shifts).
2. Hit a food bank. That's why they are there.
3. Try to find low cost healthy options.
A lot of heathly low cost food options have already been mentioned. Some others are:
* High fibre cereals are a good breakfast. They tend to go on sale at Safeway about once a month.
* Check out auctions. They might not be convenient for you to attend, but if they are you can sometimes get smoking deals. (e.g. I've picked up Amy's 12-inch frozen pizzas for $1 each and a case of about 50 veggie burgers for $10)
