I have, and it directed me to cooking sites and online magazines with shitty articles "top 20 cheap x meals" which always require some bullshit ingredient I can't either find or afford.

This is literally the last pace I went for because I knew 90% of replies would be shitheads like you.

I just made a quesadilla with leftover mixed cheese, canned pickled jalapenos and a lot of hot sauce. Pretty good

The key to good poverty cooking is to constantly research staple dishes of world cultures and understanding how the ingredients available to them influence diet and recipes.

Staple plants like corn, wheat, rice, potatoes, or cabbage can be used as a base, while in more prosperous places meats, fruits, and veggies are combined or served alongside.

My challenge to you is to experiment with all the food available in your house, plus finding in season staples at the market. Minimize buying packaged foods and instead buy raw plantstuff. Learn to cook with the ingredients available to you, and listen to that voice in the back of your head that tells you to cook weird combinations. Watch chef Ramsey or other talented chefs (so not including jack) and follow their technique, advice, and thought process rather than straight recipes.

A cheap gallon of olive oil.

A covered bowl of it containing sliced garlic, black pepper, peeled cherry tomatoes, and thyme sprigs, all uncooked and left on the counter forever.

This oil on boiled grains, some salt and ground pepper, accompanying fresh green of your choice and either beans, or some other pulses, or meat.

Pork is surprisingly cheap. So are lentils, and wheat berries.

Leafy veggies are washed and eaten raw. Thick green veggies are blanched only.

Cook your meat by cutting it thin and braising in a pan. Dont add much water, and only add it once one side is seared.

Whats left in that pan can be used to flavor other things.

I see where you coming from, but nigga, I ain't got the resources to learn by trial and error. I really appreciate your advice, but do you have something for the here and now?

Make rice and steam veggies to eat alongside it. Throw cut veggies and meat in a pan of hot oil and serve on flour tortillas or over rice as tacos. Put cut veggies with chicken quarters in a oven pan and bake for a while. Make ramen and boil carrots and broccoli with the noodles.

You can still learn by trial and error because if you're poor and hungry, your worst attempts will be eatable as long as you are somewhat careful.
