Learn to love the potato, and learn the many many ways to cook the potato. At ten pounds for dollar, it's way cheaper than ramen, and probably a little healthier.
Baked potatoes (can be done in the microwave)
mashed potatoes,
hashed browns,
potato wedges (just like french fries, except not quite as good),
scalloped,
potato soup
potatoes IN soup
potato pancakes
potato salad
And if you make a lot of something, I like to freeze it directly into a zip lock bag. It's easier to defrost, and makes a convenient one serving.
Also, I've found that buying veggies at a farmers market is a great deal cheaper than buying them at the grocery store.
Don't buy anything unless it's on sale.
Drink more water.
