4oz of ground meat(whichever has highest calorie to price ratio, ignoring fat) a day (keep frozen in cooler, buy as big a bag of ice as you can fit)
Buy whatever can of beans has the highest calories to price ratio, with no added fat.
Flour or masa, whichever is cheaper.
Frozen peas, Rice, Potatoes, Onions, canned tomatoes. (or their cheapest equivalents where you live)
palate of chicken ramen eat 1-2 a week as a treat.
Actually here you have all the ingredients to make chili (which freezes well) aside from the spices.
Don't buy spices waste of money for not much in return, you could also probably find pre-spiced tomatoes (tomatoes in chili sauce) or beans
Cook in bulk and freeze it, you should be cooking once every 2 weeks at most.
Eat small portions 1500 calories a day is more than you need, very probably, light exercise and water suppress hunger

https://efficiencyiseverything.com/eat-for-1-50-per-day-layoffs-coronavirus-quarantine-food-shortages/https://efficiencyiseverything.com/calorie-per-dollar-list/T1 : White bread and peanut butter.
T2 : Eggs and cheapest legume
T3 : ground meat, sausage etc
Breakfast eggs and toast with peanut butter
Lunch beans and meat
No dinner, maybe some cheeze-its or goldfish (with campbells chicken noodle if you can get it at a food bank).
But honestly if you only have 20 a week to spend on food it's time to move in with multiple people and split rent, get on government assistance etc. etc.
Bulk cooking is the way to go, you don't want to ever be in this situation. Try to work up to at least a months worth of saved food.
Sales and coupons are to trick you and extract more of your money (and time). Ignore them completely. If you have the time to clip coupons you should be clipping classifieds
