They're dirt cheap and fill you up without any fancy prep.

Potatoes cost about $0.50 per pound where I live. But they're not that healthy if you just boil them plain. You need butter or toppings to make them taste good, and that adds up. Plus, they spoil faster than real money if you don't store them right.
