Re: you have 15 dollars to buy groceries for a week.
Am I trying to lose weight? Am I trying to get the most nutrition?
I'd probaby get a bag of frozen chicken, a box of spaghetti, a thing of butter and some parmesan cheese. Or 7 McDonald's Dub Cheese 6 McDonald's McChicken Or As much Mac&Cheese as I could buy.

$15 $1 instant lottery tickets.
Seriously - probably a whole chicken and some discount veggies. Grocers usually put the stuff they're going to toss tomorrow on a special rack at like a 75% discount. You can section the chicken and make a stock with the bones. You'll have two whole breasts - two meals. Two thighs - two meals. Two drumsticks - one meal. When the stock you made with the bones is done you can pick the extra meat off the back/wings and make chicken salad with half and chicken croquettes with the other half.

beans
rice gallon of milk oatmeal olive oil multi-vitamins (buy cheapo storebrand, will last a year) these items will provide all the nutrition you need, and if you buy in bulk will average out to much less than $15 a week.

Re: you have 15 dollars to buy groceries for a week.
8 packs of ramen-$1
2 cans red beans, 1 can black beans, huge can tomato sauce-$4 (for making chili) 2 packs of pasta-$2 Sack of Rice-$4 Jar of Peanut Butter-$2 Loaf of bread-$2 FWIW, My gf and I go shopping once every two weeks and spend $150 which works out to less than $40 week each. And we get all sorts of useless things like Morningstar Products (like $5 for fake sausage links), Soda and Juice, lots of name brand stuff, frozen dinners, protein bars, Shrimp, etc. $15 is a lot.
