The US is too big for a single answer, but here in Florida bananas are cheap, but potatoes and apples are expensive. Sweet potatoes are often cheap though.
I grow some stuff here, that's not free but is cheap for sure. Okra, jalapeno peppers, watermelon, purple sweet potatoes, basil in the summer. Greens, lettuces, broccoli, cauliflower, radishes, fennel, cilantro in the winter. Mint all year. Have citrus trees and a fig, all dwarf trees so not a huge harvest but an easy one.
I think wine and most booze will get very expensive, grains, so flour, pasta, bagels. Good cheese. A lot of produce since it comes from Mexico and South America and our supreme leader here seems determined to piss them off. Milk will probably stay around the same, maybe domestic cheese. I would logically have said eggs, but apparently not.

UK: I don't know if it's produced domestically, but pasta is dirt cheap. Own brand spaghetti can be under 60p a kilo. Tinned tomatoes are also cheap, so there you go - dinner.
Potatoes and brown onions are fairly cheap, ditto carrots.
Eggs, of course. £2.70 ($3.50) a dozen, medium free range.

Sprouted yellow peas. Available on most street corners of Myanmar cities in the morning, steaming hot. Cheap source of protein and nutrition when added to plain white rice, nutritious and delicious.

Everything becomes more expensive once a market for it is created. Meanwhile local foods like murnong and kangaroo apples are free in Australia.

Wouldn't you get a better deal if you bought a bigger box of staples at a different retailer?

The US overproduces some crops that USAID used to buy and send overseas. The local supply will increase, some reckon by a lot, and prices may crash as local demand is just not there.
They will dump the food in a ditch before selling it at a reasonable price.

As an American, it used to be fossil fuels. I'd go elsewhere and it'd be 3x the price. But lately we seem to be catching up. One thing where we're still likely cheaper are high-end electronics. At least, it looks like the iPhone is still cheaper in the US than almost anywhere else. I remember living abroad a few years ago, colleagues would ask if I could buy an iPhone or Mac on Christmas break and bring it back to them lol
