Beans, beans, beans. Best bang for the buck food ever. Here's one of my favorite black bean recipes, which ends up costing about $4.50 for 4 servings (or 2 servings for cyclist-size servings). Although I must admit that I splurge on it and add half a can of chipotles in adobo sauce to spice it up.
Also, with that many miles, do not neglect carbs. Whole wheat spaghetti is dirt cheap. You can pick up a box, plus a jar of pasta sauce for $4 from Walmart that will last you all week. If you have some cash left over, pick up a bag of frozen meatballs. I would suggest making your own, but ground beef is expensive as hell where I live right now.
Also I would suggest heading to your local library and checking out Chris Carmichael's Food for Fitness. This will give you a more comprehensive guide than anything else on what sort of diet you need to sustain your fitness for cycling.
