Tacking on..
It can depend where you shop or what resources you have. Canned clams can be dirt cheap and still good if you have the right grocery store. Using spaghetti instead of lenguine can save money as it tends to be about half the price (clams over lenguine / spaghetti). A ~$2 meal at home that tastes better than a $20 one at a restaurant.
Regarding bread, the $1 Italian loaves at Walmart's bakery are great for the price and freeze well (*yellow tagged even cheaper).
Chicken thighs are often $1-$2 a lb (cheaper than whole chickens), and are far more forgiving on over cooking. Learn to cook and pair them good (like thai peanut sauce or roasted veg or chipotle instead of Franks) and you won't want white chicken meat. Deboning them yourself can save money and make for great sandwiches (I don't know a store that sells deboned with skin on either).
Aldi has great prices on many kinds of sausages, and they're pretty good.
