* Some universities sell off their unwanted supplies and furniture to the general public for cheap. The university I went to had this place where if I wanted to, I could buy office furniture, old computer equipment, electronics, or even lab supplies for sometimes down to a tenth of their original price. Of course, these items are used, and in the case of electronics, often obsolete, but it's a way to grab stuff like chairs cheap.

Damn, I wish I had thought of this when the college here tore down one of the dorms. They had some nice furniture in the rooms, and they probably sold what couldn't be used for replacements.
One thing I do to save money is to make a list before I shop--and stick to that list. Also, buying store-brand items can save you a LOT of money.
Like PiccoloNamek said, cooking for yourself is a great way of doing it, too. Rice a Roni makes these rice side dishes that are actually pretty good by themselves. And store brands can cost only 50 cents. How's that for inexpensive fare?
