If im feeling lazy i just get some cheese, stick it in some bread with no butter. Then slap it in the microwave for half a minute. Hey presto, a cheap hot snack that takes like 1 minute to make !
You can get cheap biscuits over here for under 10 pence a pack, there always good with a cuppa.

$3 for an entire week? Sounds like you'll be eating plenty of noodles 
My favorite kind of instant noodles, Nong Shim brand Shin Ramyun hot & spicy noodle soup. I'll usually wisk an egg into the boiling base, cook the noodles for 2.5 minutes, and top with lots of green onions or chives - sometimes adding some corn and/or rice as well. This soup also comes with a packet of dried vegetables along side the packet of soup base

Nah, I was joking 
I like making a big pot of rice with tinned tomatoes, onions, green bell peppers, cheap sausages and plenty of homemade hot sauce mixed in. Kinda like a big jambalaya.

I was a good friend to him !

Cous Cous so hot it's orange,with as many life sustaining vegetables and stuff as i can put in it...
lately ,I've been pretty thrilled about getting a triple hash brown with cheese and jalapenos at waffle house for $3.40 something...it's pretty damn filling,when they don't cook it enough,and they rarely do..

When strapped for cash or feeling particularly frugal I resort to dumpster diving. Bakeries are usually good. Wild plants (and mushrooms of course) in season are another excellent source of food. Usually greens can be collected year round. I'm partial to lamb's quarters. All free of course. georgem

Hmm, that doesn't sound too bad. I like pickles, but I'm not big on the texture... maybe the chop will help with that. I'll give it a try sometime.

Gnawing my fingernails leads to some sustenance I suppose.. If the above ramen/egg idea is out and i can't bum 10 cents to get a pack of ramen, I swallow my pride and go home to mommy... FOr the low price of listening to her update me on all the family matters and such I get a free meal and the oppurtunity to shop her pantry.
Its worth it, generally. Not when shes on her "Im gonna cook everything i eat" kick...she can't cook, she knows it, she just punishes us all.

I eat alot of bread and cheese. I always go by the Breadsmith by my house at like, 6 o' clock right before they close at night and they usually have a barrel full of bagguettes out there for free.

Fried potatoes!
You can pick up a ten pound bag of potatoes for a few bucks and you can reuse the oil for about a week if you keep it covered. Add a can of pork 'n beens and a little ketchup and you have a three course meal.

buy several pounds of whole grains/beans/rices from whole foods for a dollar or two on the pound...throw into a crockpot with some spices...and you have plenty of chili for all week. several pounds will feed you for a month.
cheap & nutritious
potatoes are good too.

You know what saves money? Grow some veggies in the back yard. You can grow beans and corn in the same dirt... the beans are actually good for the corn.
Tomaters do well outside as well.
Also, you can't go wrong with a few strawberry plants. Fresh strawberries are yummy. And when you grow your own you don't need to worry about pesticides unless you decide to use them.
Overall I'd say corn is probably the easiest and most filling thing you can grow. It's not hard to take care of it, and if you're really desperate a single ear of corn can be a whole meal. There's plenty of starch in corn, so it provides plenty of energy, although it's not exactly rich in vitamins or protein.

Cant go wrong with a fish finger sandwich - 18p for 10 fishfingers at Tesco. Cook 5, put four in the sandwich and you have one bonus one to eat while you faff about putting the other four between two bits of bread. Absolutely fantastic.

i've dumpstered before... definately not my preferred method of getting food, but sometimes you make away with some gems for free.
Otherwise, i like to get some mac & cheese and some salame and throw some chopped up bits in there.. makes for a great meal that fills you to the rim.

"Welsh Rarebit"; wholemeal bread, cheese, yeast extract, wholegrain mustard, seaweed flakes.
Method: Toast bread on one side, cover un-toasted side with preferred -butter/marge- spread then cheese, paste the cheese with yeast extract and mustard and garnish with seaweed flakes -in that order-. Toast until cheese gently melted (or to own taste). Eat with chutney if feeling rich.
