I'm 6'1 in height and 110kg in weight. Body fat percentage (estimated) around 30%.

Cucumbers, banana, eggs and chicken breast is all I ate for a week since they are cheap. Couldn't afford all the fancy avacado, frozen berries, and other stuff.

Can help me suggest other cheap alternatives? Kinda want to go cheaper, like maybe swap chicken for regular burger patties?

Those are quite affordable options already. I personally find burger patties tend to be less "clean" than chicken breast etc. But that's just my preference

Mate, what you eat is quite imbalanced. You have to take varieties of veggies and fruits too. Lettuce, broccoli, oranges and apples are quite cheap, aren't they? Don't go cheap on meat... Cheap meat is usually processed meat which is not healthy if eaten excessively.

-Getting more fibres will make your stomach filled longer which means you're less likely to feel hungry and this prevents overeating.

-Vitamins and minerals deficiency will slow down your metabolism... So you have to get them from veggies and fruits to help you lose fats.

If you can afford to buy these, please do it and eat different veggies every day (eating the same veggie on alternate days is fine)... It's not wise to go cheap on food just to save money...

Muscle building is not based on price of the food. Its about the nutrition value say higher in protein. Healthier food tend to be more expensive but you can get it on cheaper alternative too. Just avoid processed food will do.

Tofu mate, they are cheap and good protein alternative

Soy, tofu etc

peanut butter, eggs, edamane, tuna and sardin...

Beans and lentils. And you can't go wrong with oatmeal.

Nuts and seeds as well

One thing to note, if you wanna replace meat with veggies/nuts/beans as the protein source, please make sure the essential amino acids in the veggies are sufficient. Otherwise, not only your muscles can't grow, but also your body faces many health problems.
