Both the Pop Century and All Star (value resorts) have a food court where the food is not expensive. They have a ton of condiments, utensils and they have toasters and microwaves for general use.

We bring our own dorm size refrigerator and coffee maker with us. (I am not sure if they are allowed or not, but we have never had a problem).

Bring canned soup, spaghetti, etc. and ask for a bowl (they gladly will give them to you! - the utensils are sitting out. Just bring a pop-top or your own can opener)

Bring bread and peanut butter. They have packets of jelly / honey and butter sitting out.

Ask for a water cup. They have sliced lemon and sugar packets sitting out.

Also, if you carry hot cans of soda into the main parks, the restaurants will give you a cup of ice for free if you ask.

Also I just found a Publix this past week very close to the Pop Century. (I used to go to a further one). But this one is right at US 192 right by the Gaylord Palms Hotel. The one the Disney personnel directed me to was much further. Publix has a great bakery/deli.
