You can still treat yourself once in a while, but don't buy chips or Doritos; if you want a munchie snack, buy a bag of popping corn (yep, just the plain kernels). Add some oil to the bottom of a large pot, add enough corn to cover the bottom, put lid on, shake. You can stuff yourself for literally pennies at a time. There's a popcorn thread a page or two down which is closed now, I think, but has loads of great ideas. You will not believe how good freshly-made popcorn is. (My favourite topping: sprinkle white vinegar on, douse with that ghetto parmesan cheese in the green can)

Edit: also, pay attention to when certain fruits/veg are in season in your area. Even if they're usually available year-round, they're usually a little cheaper at certain times, and they probably haven't been shipped from a gazillion miles away either.

If you like it and can cook it properly, liver is dead cheap (here you can buy enough for two people and get change back from a toonie). I wouldn't eat it that often but once or twice a month is a nice treat.
