The apples and oranges will be pretty pricey for a poor person. Should probably only do that when you're splurging.
Also, if you're in a place where the rest of the list is too expensive, priority should be placed on the rice and beans. Potatoes and carrots aren't strictly speaking "necessary" when you're in crisis like that. Try to get a fishing rod and use your local lakes and rivers. Varying degrees of healthy there, but fishing can usually be done for free on off hours.
