Well, it seems as if everyone has already mentioned spaghetti and chili. Those were my staples for about a year. A pot of chili would last at least 4 meals. Variations are serve it over tortilla chips with cheese or french fries.
When I first moved out on my own my grocery budget for the month was $100. I would buy the family size of chicken and hamburger, then split it up into single servings and wrap in freezer wrap and bags. It is cheaper to buy on bulk and on sale. Vegetables are also very cheap. Buy veggies for stirfries and serve with rice. All you need is soy sauce, corn starch for thickener, and garlic. The garlic is also handy for spicing up a can of tomato sauce and serving with pasta. The cans of Hunt's are cheaper than the jars of Ragu or Prego. You can also buy a jar of pesto. A little bit goes a long way when tossed with pasta.
Canned soup and Ramen noodles are also cheap meals. My husband likes to scramble eggs and put them in the Ramen noodles. I guess it gives variety.
Hope some of those help you out.
