ISO: cooking for one on a budget

Misc.
I'm new to this club, so please allow me to introduce myself. My name is Alex and I'm a 20-year-old single man living on a very tight budget for a while. My question is: Where can I find recipes relating to cooking for one on a budget? It need not be fancy, though I have often been told that I have a champagne taste and not even a beer budget! :) If you could offer any help at all, I would be very grateful. Thanks.
Alex
