You can survive on potatoes but not forever as you would get a mineral deficiency from eating only potatoes.

If you sustained on white potatoes or potatoes alone, you would eventually run into vitamin and mineral deficiencies

You can live off of bananas but not forever as you would still need other minerals and nutrients and vitamins to keep your body working properly.

However if all you had was bananas then eating the bananas is better than having no food at all.

You could live on milk but only for a short while since you would not be getting all the nutrients, vitamins and minerals you need from other food.

The 2 foods you can survive on include beans, such as red kidney beans, Pinto Beans and even black turtle.

You can also survive on potatoes, noodles, chicken, hamburger, vegetables and fruits.

To keep your grocery bill down buy cheaper foods and avoid brand name foods.

It's cheaper to buy generic food brands than name brand foods which are basically the same thing but you're paying higher prices for the name.

Buy the cheapest foods and use coupons when you can.

Also consider buying foods at a place that sells expired foods which can still be good but much cheaper.

Make your own versions of prepared and processed foods.
Pre-cook food for the week.

Use a meal delivery service.
