I use vegetable oil for more unhealthy things, like stuff that needs to be fried or deep fried and olive oil for things that just need a drizzle. Vegetable oil isn't the best, but it's not the worst and it's generally quite cheap for massive bottles of it.
Only thing I'd add to your list is some noodles. Personally I despise 2 minute/ramen noodles because a lot of days that was breakfast lunch and dinner for me for weeks on end (same reason I hate spag Bol), but you can buy it super cheaply and you can make it in a lot more ways than just boiling a kettle and letting it sit for 2 minutes. Also good if you get sick and need something easy, cheap, and not too hard to digest (just forgo the spice).
Edit: noodles were the first thing on your list... FML.
