What do you make that is both cheap and tasty?
I make a lot of somen because I can pre-prepare it and add basically whatever to it.

It's amazing what kind of dishes you can whip up in just under an hour when you're in a pickle

Just realised my previous comment may have sounded really sarcastic not intended btw.

I usually eat breakfast and one ok-ish/well made meal a day. Otherwise I just starve and eat crisps and snacks, I look at food in the cupboard and just don't think.

tuna
beans
rice
pasta
broccoli
spinach
chicken
ground beef
potato
eggs
assorted vegetables
flour
butter
olive oil
canned tomatoes
salt
pepper
herbs
many things you can make with those ingredients and they are all relatively inexpensive
i usually have leftovers and turn those leftovers into another dish. so tuna fried rice is one thing or if i had beef and potatoes leftover i make quick pastry crust and make "cornish pasties" just have the basics at hand and you can eat healthy and go to sleep full every night. I typically dont have to worry about cost but i just noticed that most of what i eat comprises of these basic ingredients and they are cheap and healthy.. don't eat junk food or sweets and buy only the condiments you need if you are on a budget.

Pretty much anything with pasta, here in the Netherlands a kilogram of pasta is just under a buck and you can combine it with almost anything.
My favourite recipe is Maltese spaghetti, it's basically spaghetti pasta with tomatoes and a lot of olive oil and garlic. It's dirt cheap and tasty as hell.

Savory Dutch Oven Chicken & Taters
1 giant-ass economy package of skin-on bone-in thighs or breasts, whatever's on sale
3-4 potatoes
An onion
Several slices of bacon
Salt, pepper, Italian seasoning
Worcestershire sauce
Red wine and garlic/garlic powder (optional)

1) Preheat oven to 350.
2) Preheat Dutch oven on medium heat. Pour in a healthy dollop of olive oil.
3) Chop up the bacon and onion together and fry them when oil is hot.
4) Slice potatoes into medallions 1/4" thick.
5) When bacon is mostly-done and onions starting to turn translucent, shove them in a big pile on one side and stick the chicken in skin-side down. You're only going to fry them on the skin side so all that lovely fat can caramelize. Salt and pepper the hell out of the chicken, season heavily with Italian seasoning. Garlic powder or garlic cloves are nice too.
6) After several minutes, use a spatula to ladle the onions and bacon on top of the chicken. This way they both get fried and you only dirty one dish. Sprintz the entire thing with Worcerstershire sauce. Dump like 1/4 cup of wine in if you have any. Balsamic vinegar is nice too.
7) Throw the potatoes on top, salt them liberally, put the Dutch oven lid on, and stick in the preheated oven. Go fart around on the Internet for 45 minutes.
8) Bring out the Dutch oven with NON-ORNAMENTAL potholders. When you dish up the chicken, pull off and discard the skin because chicken skin is gross.
9) EAT.
10) If there are leftovers, add a couple cans of chicken stock, bust everything up in it, and make soup. Throw in a couple handfuls of pasta 10 minutes before you want to eat. Cook once, eat twice, hell yeah. Total price should be about ten bucks for two nights' eating.
