College student looking for some guidance and ideas. How long can these items stretch? How? budgetfood

After a rollercoaster first half of the semester, I need to cut back and cook meals from home. Up until now I've eaten out a lot, and not cooked at home in a few weeks. I refuse to use a credit card to pay for fast food while I'm searching for a better job.

I'm a fairly good cook looking for options and ideas to create meals for each part of the day that will stretch the ingredients listed below as far into the next month as possible. I row and lift regularly so I'm trying to get as much out of each meal as possible. I am willing to purchase a few things to tweak some new combos, but mainly want to stick to the stuff I already have.
