I brownbag my own lunch almost daily. Once and while splurge and buy it. Also don't eat out much, like dinner and stuff and
i think the biggest thing is I'm a frugal shopper at the grocery store who buys sales and am current with prices..
Heck, i can cook a great Italian dinner for 5 for under ten bucks..lol
I don't drink iced tea or pop, because I don't like it. And water is free.
I make lots of lentil and bean dishes that are insanely cheap (and really good, plus keep well for lunches) and I also cook a lot of vegetarian Indian dishes, which can also be insanely inexpensive. I'm not vegetarian, just eat lots of vegetarian meals because...I like spicy vegetables. I can make a killer meal out of a couple of potatoes, an onion and some spices.
I grow a fairly compact garden, and freeze lots. I save a ton of money over the winter by using my own tomatoes, peppers, corn, berries and herbs.

I cook Lentil soup too, and it rocks. Talk about cheap!! LOl
I grow tomatoes and peppers and random other veggies and herbs, and preserve them. What I don't grow myself I buy cheap when the produce is in season. I can my own tomatoes, tomato sauce, salsas, jams, mustard, etc.
I have a bread machine and use it regularly - even for pizza crust, rolls, etc. The only bread product I consume frequently but haven't figured out how to make is English muffins. There must be a recipe out there somewhere ...
I make my own iced tea as well, mixing in a little juice if I want a fruity iced tea.
Don't eat out much, especially since I've been unemployed.

I have made English muffins and this is the technique I used! It is from the Culinary Institute of America.
I make my own jam and fruit preserves. I also make sour dough bread, not only for my own family, but I sell extra loaves to friends.
