Let's try that here in the US.... (Note, $1 is worth about 75 eurocents., I get $7.80!)
Loaf of bread -- 99 cents. (Hard to find compared to ~$1.50 bread but it exists.)
--- looking good! Under budget!
Dozen eggs -- 99 cents on sale (usual price $1.50) (National average is $1.92 though!)
--- Hey this isn't looking too bad!
Milk -- $3.00/gallon or about $1.50 a quart (yes, a quart is half the cost instead of a quarter the cost.) National average is $3.43 right now.
-- Hmm....a little over budget perhaps, but not bad.
Kilo of chickpeas -- these are $1.79 a pound -- $4 a kilo.
-- Oh hell.
Kilo of rice -- average now is 0.71 a pound (but not sold in individual pounds, usually at least 2 pounds.) $1.57 a kilo or so
--OK...
100 pack of Lipton "tea" -- $4.89 (1.45 for 30 bags). I'm not tea afficionado but the general bags of tea you find on the shelf here in the states are vile and undrinkable.
-- Whatevs.
Welp, using the lowest prices that puts me at $10.50, and I have not bought bones, onion, garlic, paprika, and herbs yet. I don't think you can just buy bones here anywhere, and herbs? Heh. The big scam recently around here is they stock these tiny tiny spice containers for like $1 or $2 a piece -- did I mention they are tiny? They hold 5 grams. Fresh garlic cloves and onions (whichever type you'd like) are in fact available too, although it might be hard to use the onion up before it turned.
-- No flavor for you.
Of course you're $1.20 in the hole anyway after bread, eggs, milk, chickpeas, and rice so it may not matter.
-- Indeed. Might have to load up on 30 cent Ramen noodles i guess. Just get them at a Chinese grocery store and not the generic "salt flavored" ramens from the normal grocery store. That's some good eating! 8-)
Just to follow the spirit rather than the letter... well, chickpeas ARE in fact as cheap or cheaper (usually MUCH cheaper) than peanuts, or soybeans... almonds of course are right out...i.e. I'm not overlooking some other staple that just happens to be cheaper in the US.
