I hate beans too!! I don't mind a couple varieties that are found in rice.
Know what I figured out to do? The cereals that are given through the pantries, have recipes on the back, for goodies!! Sweets, the emotional eating stuff.
Having plenty of flour, sugar, eggs and milk can go a long, long way on a tight food budget.
I get the beggars can't be choosers with the pantries. What I have done, I barely get the pantry stuff from Church, but it's been helpful when I have. Such as handsoap, when I was about out or TP. But I filter through then redonate back to the church.
I am saying, that my food budget is tighter than yours...and it's POSSIBLE!! to survive!!
Sounds, like you have the reduced rent, already
Takes 1-2 years to get off the wait list....
