1.Whatever he said was anything but true.
2.She always keeps her promises. She is as good as her word.
3.He returns home at 6, as usual.
4.She promised to stick to the plan at all costs.
5.At all events, I will be there to support you.
Now, let's look at the idioms.
"Anything but" means "far from"; to be more specific, we use it to point out the opposite of what is said. As in the example, "Whatever he said was anything but true," which means whatever he said was not true.
"As good as one's word" means to keep a promise. In other words, it indicates that someone is trustworthy and reliable, as they always fulfill their promises.
"As usual" means the same routine. It emphasizes what happens normally, habitually, or in an expected way.
"At all costs" refers to a mindset where, no matter what the situation is, a person is determined to achieve a goal.
"At all events" (which is close to "at all costs") means that something will definitely happen regardless of what happens.
