I'm fortunate in that I am no longer a city dweller, and I travel around quite a lot. This means I am able to harvest the food that nature provides. It is healthier, and it is free. Nettles, dandelions, wild garlic, clover and many other plants provide a healthy diet at no cost. Roadkill pheasant and deer are also good sources of meat.
Plants that have had to struggle for survival ( ie. what most peope call weeds) contain more nutrients and fewer poisons, and are fresher, than their cultivated varieties, who have had a pampered life in preparation for the long and slow journey to your larder via the supermarket shelves.

Eat healthy food. Away with oily food - that will icnlude a drive to fastfood chains.
eat healthy foods it will always be cheap
if you have leftovers, make sure you watch youtube the next day where you can find thousands of good recipes for leftovers
simple. let your mom cook for ya! 
Make sure you go to to the wet market to buy your supply and not buying at the mall!
street food is the best. from squid balls, kikiam, hotdogs, siomai then rice! the best!
Prepare food yourself and try to eat something simple. You dont need to spend your money on various products if money > taste.
One thing for sure - NEVER ever be cheap about food, better take less than worse
quality of your food pretty much will be mirrored in the quality of your life - both mental and physical state depend on what you eat, so if you want to feel bad - cheap and bad food is the way
if you are just looking to get full every time - try peanuts - just sooo many you can eat

If you don't really have money, you should eat at home. Try to eat more cereal as it is cheap. For example buy a large package of buckwheat . You can eat it with jogurt, cheese or vegetables.
What I realised is that it is quite difficult to cook for one for cheap. So I think one of the options is to just prep a meal that you can eat many days in a row. Not the greatest taste variety maybe but will definitely help you to save a few bucks.
Also, worth going to the supermarket's just before they're about to close. Can find some pretty awesome deals like that, but usually it means that you will have to cook the items the same or at least on the next day.

Buy onions, eat onions, onions are good
It`s really cheap.
Only then you will smell strongly and everyone will know about your economical diet.
Rice and Noodles and cook hotdogs or canned food
First, do not go to cafes or restaurants. So cook at home and there eat. And you should cook for some days. Also limit your budget for day. I know it is really hard, but if you really care
Actually, if you buy products and prepare a normal amount of food at once, you will spend less money. Personally I cook only for one evening and it is expensive. But when I cook for 3-4 nights, it is much cheaper.

Make a grocery list (and stick to it). By heading to the store with a clear list of what's necessary, it's much easier to avoid last-minute purchases. (Some studies say shoppers may still make impulsive buys… but the list can't hurt.) Feeling techy? Try one of the many apps that can help with shopping, like GroceryIQ or Shopper.
