I make tons of cheap things with beans. Vegetarian chili with canned beans and tomatoes is inexpensive. I also make a hot bean dip (recipe follows) that is good with tortilla chips or tortillas and is really customizable.
8 oz of cream cheese 1 cup of yogurt 1/2 package taco seasoning a cup or so shredded cheese 2 cans of black beans, drained a squirt of hot sauce, if you'd like a cup of frozen corn, if you'd like a cup of drained, canned, diced tomatoes, if you'd like
Combine yogurt and cream cheese until smooth. Add taco seasoning (and hot sauce if desired). Add all other ingredients EXCEPT a handful or two of the shredded cheese. Pour into a 8x8 or larger pan. Sprinkle the rest of the cheese on top. Bake at 375 until hot and bubbly.
Other cheap things: burritos/tacos, especially veggie ones. Mac and cheese with frozen veggies added. Pasta with sauted bell peppers and onions, or whatever veg. you have laying around. "Breakfast for dinner" - eggs, french toast, etc.
