What are or were you favourite snacks or meals that you used to make when you were a broke student?

Cheese and mayo sandwiches when we were really broke!
The 'feeling rich' meal was pasta with cheese, ham, olives and fresh basil or tuna, cheese, fried onion and broccoli
A baked potato with any of the above fillings
Omelette with red pepper, spring onion and salami
god this takes me back - think I'll try it tonight...

I like the answer that says "Pasta + Pesto was a good cheap one."
Fresh basil, pine nuts, etc -- those things are _not_ cheap.
Unless he means the same sort of student 'pesto' I had, viz: dried basil rubbed onto some pasta with cheap olive oil and cheap supermarket parmesan.
And: home-made lentil soup. 'Pasta salad' slightly lacking in the 'salad' aspect. Bubble & squeak (condiment: lashings of white vinegar). Tins of tomatoes baked with bread crumbs. Anything that'd been bought in bulk from the Costco.

Pasta + Pesto was a good cheap one. Or occasionally just pasta + pasta.
Also a packet of Jacobs Crackers was a good substitute for a meal.

Rice with a knob of butter and a bit of pepper is the ultimate money saver....
Cheesy beans on toast is always good for a treat.
Otherwise, cheap pints of guiness in the union bar kill two birds with one stone!

Ha... this question reminds me to college years.
I used to buy a box of noodles (like 30 in a box). I had one or two for dinner. For lunch, I had fish and chips.
