I'm single, but I eat on a lot less money than many people.

Cook from scratch as much as possible. I don't make my own spaghetti;
but I don't buy canned spaghetti. And I don't usually buy canned beans;
I cook up dried beans.

Note: Making beans this way is not complicated. It takes time, which
isn't the same thing.

Eat poultry more than meat -- it's cheaper, and probably also healthier.

Find out if there's a Fare For All program (or equivalent) in your area.
