What is your favorite poor man's food?

In honor of gas prices and our current economy!!

In other words what do you love to make when you are broke or the cabinets are just empty because you ned to food shop that you acutally love to eat?

For me:
Snack: Cinnamon Toast (I am sitting here broke, eating this and thinking, Why don't I have this more often?)

Meal: Brinner a.k.a. Breakfast for dinner.

My mom was a single mom of four and when money got tight she used to make home fetticini noodles and alfredo sauce.. yum. It is all the staples you usaully have in the house!
