Most of this has already been stated:  
Tubs of Kool-Aid  
Rice  
Instant stuffing and canned chicken is good for 2+meals  
Ramean  
Mac and cheese, go store brand  
If you drink soda, drink store brand, hell, get everything store brand  
Sterlite and rubbermaid can be your friends  
Become a regular at walmart at 2 a.m.  
Dont go out to eat  
Definatly plastic the windows  
turn down the heat  
make sure everyone cleans up after themselves  
steal wireless internet  
get lots of roomates, in rochester I lived in a house with 5 people and I only paid $190 a month, utilities are cheaper too.

When you trow parties, suggest someone go pick up some frozen pizzas or something, and make sure everyone pitches in, they will get lots of food and leave most of it behind

Cans and bottles can add up quickly, again left behind from parties

get a girlfriend and move in with her parents
