Watch your portion sizes

- Become a Flexitarian. Enjoy several vegetarian meals each week to save money on meat.
Alternatives
Be happy to eat cheaper alternatives such as tuna pasta instead of a meat sauce based pasta.
Cooking for one
If you are cooking for one investigate eating frozen meals or cook in bulk.
Breakfast
Eat a bigger breakfast and lunch so you will eat less for dinner. Freeze half your meal.
