Sure. If you have an old style water heater, go turn it down to Low until you need a shower, and after the shower remember to turn it back down. Save on gas. In my townhouse I pay electricity but not water, so I do my dishes by hand these days though the water is ice cold.
I havent eaten fast food in this century either. I dont mind my wegmans store brand for some things. Other things just take math, for instance I like Life cereal so I buy the giant 62 ounce size which is far less per ounce than even the sale prices on the "normal" sized boxes. So pause and do the math, or go online to your stores website and prepare.
I eat rice alot with carrot, zuchinni and baby spinach. I also use the same things to soup up ramen noodles into an actual good meal. So I get them in the largest size (5 lb or so) and use a mandolin slicer to make long julienne strips, then freeze. That way you can break off how much you need and it chops easily into rice size for fried rice, or just toss in boiling water for the soup. Add garlic, ceyenne and red pepper flakes and you're halfway there. Throw in a protein like chopped fried tofu, or chicken breast (bought in bulk and vaccuum sealed and frozen too). Thats some cheap food right there that is good.
Make your pasta or pizza sauce yourself from tomato paste. Just add a cup of water and a tblsp of olive oil to one of those small cans, put in basil and oregano and garlic.
Use coupons on your stores double coupon day with your stores shoppers club card.
The list goes on.
